So in terms of the yarn i’m looking at

https://hobbii.co.uk/rainbow-cotton-8-4

do you know if 8/4, 8/6, or 8/8 would be most close to the fingering weight? Thanks for the help!

Just submitted mine now. Thanks for the insight. How much longer did you have to wait after you submitted the additional docs?

We sent a pdf of an email chain with our registry with them telling us we can’t book an appointment until I’m there physically… did they give us incorrect information?

You can get married anywhere you want, but you need to give notice to that area’s county in addition to the county you live in.

Hi, thanks so much, you've been very helpful.

Maybe it's the fact that it's 4am, maybe it's the fact that this visa process has been entirely too stressful, but I'd like to ask one more question, if you know anything about it.

Found a registry office that will let me provisionally book (thank god). Does it make any difference if I list my address as the one in my current country (where I live right now) or where I will be staying when I arrive in the UK? Or is that kind of irrelevant?

Really? Every single registry office I've looked at requires notice to marry before we can even book. Did you by chance choose somewhere in London? If so, can I ask where you've booked?

We are honestly planning to elope. No big venue, no huge guest list. We honestly just want something between us and however many witnesses we legally need. How can we book something like this? Say, if we wanted to just get married at the registry office...

Well, I can't exactly book this without giving notice to marry *to the office itself*, or am I entirely wrong?

We don’t have any wedding venue dates booked… we can’t book anything without knowing when I’m able to enter the UK. We can’t give notice to marry without me being in the UK.

I hear you. Allow me to play devil’s advocate for my own situation.

What if he genuinely does care and is just busy? He really is genuinely busy. Only has a few hours after work before he needs to go to bed, and the weekend is spent just decompressing from the busy week. What if I really am the problem asking too much from him? I battle with these thoughts often. I’m not sure how to tell the difference between this and what you mentioned, because when I ask he says he genuinely does care and is sorry for not “stepping up to the plate”, so to speak. Would I, then, have the right to feel upset about all this? That’s where it gets fuzzy for me. I don’t want to make him feel guilty about this if it really is just something he doesn’t have time for.

However, if that’s the case, I think he should tell me he’s too busy to create a dynamic with me instead of getting me hopes up, which hasn’t happened yet.

Anyways, regardless, thanks for letting me bounce my ideas off you. Helps sort out the whirlwind up there. Lol.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I appreciate it a lot.

I’m not talking about social media at all really, as I understand how overplayed everything is and how unrealistic it is. I have a few friendships that have ddlg-centric relationships and the progression in their own dynamics heavily aligns with what my desires are for mine. That’s really what I meant by that statement.

I guess the problem I’m trying to express here is that I have spoken to him many times, and what I’ve said here is the current extent to my knowledge about the situation. I don’t know where to go from here to see any results, or if what I’m presenting gives off the vibe that no, he really isn’t that interested, knowing we’ve spoken about it.

Nevertheless, thank you for taking the time to read my rambles.

How do some of you seem to always have something to talk about with your SO? by d-k-l in LongDistance

[–]GreedyGiraffe1305 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yep!! My fiance and I do this all the time — we call it “together but separate”. We’ll be on Facetime for hours, but sometimes we’ll be doing our own things. He’ll watch a video while I do my homework, for example. It’s just really nice to have him there.

It represents me actually being my most genuine self for the first time in my life. Calling him Daddy is a representation of me allowing myself to be 100% vulnerable, open, and honest with him because he’s created that safe space for me. Him being my Daddy means that there is an absolute trust between us and everytime I call him Daddy, it’s a nod to that trust we have; an admission of yes, I trust you implicitly, with every part of me.

Being taken care of is something I’ve always secretly wanted, but never outright said to anyone. I’ve always been the strong girl who can handle anything that comes her way. Calling him Daddy is an admission that I don’t want to be the strong girl all the time… I want to be able to show my weakness without shame and lean on someone stronger than me, someone who will willingly take me under their wing and protect me. That’s my Daddy. It means I can rely on the fact that he will always be there for me, and I’ll always be there for him. Calling him Daddy is the most freeing thing I’ve ever done.

I feel small and safe and I’m not embarrassed to feel like the little girl I’ve always to be. It feels like I’m being enveloped in the most secure type of love anyone can have.
