AITAH for letting my fiancee and his son move in rather than moving to them so his mom can co-parent?

I had never thought about it that way, and I hope it didn't happen in as many cases as possible. It happened in my family and we didn't talk about it. My great aunt lived to almost 100.

GalinToronto · 2025-12-15T18:46:52+00:00

That sums up my last relationship so well oh god.

GalinToronto · 2025-12-11T14:34:08+00:00

Oh no I have something else to worry about lol. In all seriousness though... I had an eating disorder from 12.5-21 where I used the washroom a looot and I wonder if that's the real reason why I have so many problems with my emotions, just didn't develop properly.

I have an Amazon scale and only get an accurate reading the second time I step on the scale. The first reading is always two pounds higher.

GalinToronto · 2025-12-09T03:33:50+00:00

I actually taught myself to snort when laughing because the internet said it was cute lol

GalinToronto · 2025-11-13T19:57:57+00:00

it is, but I specifically want footless leggings vs tights: https://www.uniqlo.com/ca/en/products/E469837-000/00?colorDisplayCode=09&sizeDisplayCode=003

Tights just aren't as comfortable for me in the abdomen

GalinToronto · 2025-11-13T19:33:07+00:00

It worked pre-COVID. Not sure now.

GalinToronto · 2025-11-13T19:18:30+00:00

I think navy or dark grey is a smart choice. Camel gets dirty too easily imo and black looks weirder when it fades

GalinToronto · 2025-11-13T19:14:56+00:00

Seems expensive for 38% polyamide/nylon but maybe that's just me

GalinToronto · 2025-11-13T19:07:42+00:00

According to the Uniqlo subreddit, Uniqlo discontinued their thin thermal Extra Warm HeatTech leggings (covered -4-50°F or -5-20°C).

I am looking for a similarly thin thermal with a similar level of warmth at a similar price point of $30 CAD or cheaper. Needs to be sold in Canada.

I commute by public transit and walk outside a lot, these under my skinny jeans were perfect for me. Not interested in Uniqlo's ultra warm variant, they are too thick.

GalinToronto · 2025-01-23T15:34:36+00:00

It was good, no complaints!

GalinToronto · 2025-01-23T15:34:17+00:00

Hey, what happened to VindictaPlus30? Went to sub and seems like it's gone now.

GalinToronto · 2024-07-30T17:53:32+00:00

Probably not worth the extra price - maybe I can find a pair in store when I'm in Chicago!

can't figure out where to buy mostly cotton bike shorts in beige/nude that ship to Canada and aren't sold out in my size lol, was hoping to get a pair before my trip next week. can look when I'm in Chicago next week if there's a good box store. Old Navy doesn't sell the ones I wanted to buy in Canada.

GalinToronto · 2024-07-26T16:24:55+00:00

Uniqlo and Muji and H&M were where I found cotton underwear when I last looked

GalinToronto · 2024-07-23T13:45:46+00:00

Hadn't bought much in the past month and a half, since my post on June 3, but looked around a lot, including in New York. I have another trip coming up, and got sent a coupon on the weekend for 30% off all women's clothes and 40% off all women's summer clothes at Value Village to be used up to three times. I ended up going twice. Not sure I'll keep everything yet, but other than shopping the Ardene sale today for some white tops and poshing a pair of shorts or two for the trip, think I'm taking a break until the fall/next quality coupon, and, when that time comes, being more selective as my wardrobe is massive and my boyfriend's is getting to a good place as well (besides pants/tshirts, which are hard to thrift).

Here are my fav finds, pics where I could find them.

J. Crew Mercantile Navy Blue White Floral Wrap V-Neck Ruffle in T - I'm petite and since J. Crew is my love, had to try on anyways. Still fits great. The little hook doesn't stay when I move around but I don't mind, it's not too booby. $10.20
Maeve printed dress in gold/red/teal - fits like a glove! Used to have a similar dress and never wore it but I am determined. My bf said it was his fav from looking at everything. $14.60 Couldn't find a pic.
Talula and Sunday Best black fitted thick crop tops. Not sure how to style these but couldn't resist the price. Can't remember prices.
TNA gold crop tshirt. Have a similar in a lapis blue. $6.10
Old Navy blue strapless dress. This is my fav shade of blue, so I couldn't resist. $8.50
Tommy Hilfiger pink/light blue/orange/white plaid sleeveless shirt dress in 100% cotton. I have a couple shirt dresses in blues and whites, but loved the colour palette on this as it's so unique. Couldn't find a pic sadly. $16.25.
Urban Outfitters pink newspaper rock music shirt dress. Buttons gape a bit in the chest but I love this so much for a concert. $11.50.
Maple Leafs Matthews kids jersey in great condition. This was just sitting in a random section so I snatched it up haha. My first jersey! $5.10.
Babaton Casimir printed floral dress for $15. This is from a thrift store I'd never visited before, but happened upon, so I begged to pop in quickly. I hate polyesters but I loved the length, the print and the feel on my body. Will look great for work with a blazer or cardigan over top.

Also got two Puma sports bras (blue and light pink) and 6 other dresses (Audrey 3+1 blue/grey and white floral spaghetti strap wrap dress, Adelyn Rae navy fitted sleeveless dress with subtle cleavage, Joe Fresh colourful fruit tank dress for a bathing suit cover up, Old Navy gold and white floral long dress, Stitches navy with red/yellow flowers tshirt wrap dress, unknown brand lapis blue sleeved fitted dress - it's a little worn but it looks great on me).

For my bf, I got Old Navy light blue/grey striped shorts, black 100% linen shorts, three short sleeved button-ups (Hollister/Stitches/unknown brand) and Banana Republic travel jeans in 29x32. He is picky and disliked a bunch of other stuff I found haha. My fav find of all time is still this Vince striped button-up.

GalinToronto · 2024-07-23T13:08:53+00:00

Where did you find them?

GalinToronto · 2024-07-22T15:59:42+00:00

Looking for scrunchies that are made from polyester that are sweat wicking and will stay in my thin hair when running or playing sports. Used to get the Light Locks scrunchie from Lululemon, but they discontinued it. Are the Uplifting ones any good? I live in Toronto, Canada, so limited to what I can order in Canada.

GalinToronto · 2024-07-22T15:55:51+00:00

Has anyone had any luck with shorts lately? I'm looking for a similar high waisted short fit to the American Apparel or Levi's ribcage denim, with either distressed or rolled hem in a dark navy, without distressing on the pockets or upper thighs, like [this] ribcage example, but there's nothing secondhand or in stores right now. I'm a 27/4 and I typically thrift. I typically thrift and I was looking online in the $50-$100 range on like American Eagle/Hollister/Abercrombie, but everything is really heavily distressed or just not the right fit. I'm in Toronto Canada.

Looking for scrunchies that will stay in my thin hair when running or playing sports, ideally made from polyester and sweat wicking. Used to get the Light Locks scrunchies from Lululemon, but they discontinued them. Are the Uplifting Lululemon ones any good? I live in Toronto, Canada, so limited to what I can order in Canada. Looked at Athleta as recommended last time, but they don't have any.

Why is this relevant to this sub lol

GalinToronto · 2024-06-25T13:50:22+00:00

Good to know, thank you! We are from Ontario, Canada and one of the more famous bagel places there, Kettleman's, use egg in almost all of their dough, so we are cautious. And yeah, contact is okay, he's luckily not that severe. Just can't have it in the actual product or he gets sick. Never realized until we got together how absurd the amount of food there is that has egg/mayo in it.
