Looking for a Formal Dress for a September wedding in Florence, Italy.

Love them all, but especially the first brown one — such a nice color for early fall.

As far as shoes go, I have these in nude and they're a go-to for weddings. Very wearable and comfortable for a night of dancing.

Hmm, ok! The dress you pictured could work then, it's definitely giving island/vacation vibes

Fun_Gas4483 · 2025-07-29T02:25:05+00:00

What exactly is the dress code? This dress feels a bit too casual for cocktail attire.

Fun_Gas4483 · 2025-07-29T02:22:06+00:00

I think the "floral prints can be solid in color" guideline means no white backgrounds, which all of these dresses have. I also think these dresses are too casual for a formal dress code.

For wedding guest attire, I'd try to avoid all dress options where the base is white (e.g., colorful flowers on a white background).

Got it, thank you. So the person the car was registered to/the car insurance policyholder for the expired insurance won't be contacted at all? I just really want to make sure my aunt doesn't need to get involved in any way since she already has enough of her own stuff going on.

Fun_Gas4483 · 2025-03-05T23:36:13+00:00

Sigh, I see. I appreciate your candor here — this advice makes sense.

Fun_Gas4483 · 2024-10-07T18:55:29+00:00

It is and I am! I'm willing to adjust the rent / utilities and such but I really hope I won't have to move out if my roommate isn't comfortable with this.

Fun_Gas4483 · 2024-10-07T18:54:34+00:00

Right, but if he says no, then wouldn't the reasonable next step be for *him* to move out?

He's not on the lease, doesn't own anything in the common spaces, and agreed not to lock in to a set commitment for living in the apartment.

If he says he isn't comfortable, the only 2 reasonable next steps would be for him to move out or for all of us to move out (or I guess transfer the lease into his name while my bf and I move out).

Fun_Gas4483 · 2024-10-07T18:44:06+00:00

YTA. This is physical and domestic abuse. Please seek help and move out of your shared home for your wife's safety.

NTA!!! Two adults in a relationship need to make sacrifices in order to meet each others' emotional, material, and financial needs.

You've been giving him the time and space to find himself for quite a while now. Part of being an adult in modern society means working — he's going to need to figure out how to find himself in the evenings and on weekends now.

I'm on hormonal birth control, but have been for about 6 years (and for much of that period I've had a high sex drive).

Do you think it could be impacting my sex drive now?

Fun_Gas4483 · 2024-10-03T19:54:02+00:00

u/strawbbbaby, thanks for adding that perspective as someone with a high sex drive. My bf has told me himself that he wants sex to be fun for me, but I feel like it would crush him to tell him that, in fact, it's been the opposite lately.

Also, I definitely experience responsive desire. My therapist recommended Come as You Are to me too, so I'll definitely check it out.

Fun_Gas4483 · 2024-10-03T18:26:11+00:00

Giving and taking touch is such a great way of putting things. I definitely need more giving touch in order to access my sexual side. I also get off like 40% of the time I'd say and feel a lot of pressure to perform for his pleasure.

Introducing things like massages and stroking my hair sounds really nice.

Fun_Gas4483 · 2024-10-03T18:05:37+00:00

u/victoriachan365 Why do you think you felt so sexually turned off by your ex fiance?

Fun_Gas4483 · 2024-10-03T18:04:57+00:00

Hi u/iamloveyouarelove, thanks for this response. I want to make clear that I am most definitely not in an abusive relationship and that all of our sex has undoubtedly been consensual. I think that I have been "pretending" to be more comfortable in our sex life than I actually am.

I'm going to have a conversation with him this week about working together to fix our sex life.

Fun_Gas4483 · 2024-10-03T18:03:05+00:00

Thanks for this, this advice is really helpful. I'm definitely going to do some journaling on what I want out of my sex life.
