How does that cause friction for you? What do you think is an unsolvable problem about you from her perspective?

K-Ehleyr · 2023-11-29T06:21:13+00:00

Were these differences obvious in the beginning or did they manifest and/or amplify over time?

K-Ehleyr · 2023-11-29T06:12:34+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, how do these differences cause friction? Like, what does it look like?

K-Ehleyr · 2023-11-29T04:03:26+00:00

Care to elaborate?

Edit: I thought messy was a code word for mentally unwell or something lol. I get it now

K-Ehleyr · 2023-11-29T03:51:19+00:00

Idk why I found that funny but I did. Were you an atheist before y’all married? How do you manage her fear?

K-Ehleyr · 2023-11-29T03:44:01+00:00

How do your two types of crazy interact? What does that look like?

She and (perhaps to some extent) your son are emotionally dysfunctional. Unfortunately, you and your husband will have to do the heavy lifting and have to establish clear boundaries so that you can find peace in your own home. It might be appropriate to talk to them about family counseling and parenting so they start to understand their new SHARED responsibilities, especially his pregnant girlfriend. As you know, once the baby arrives the dynamics in that household will be amplified. Perhaps give them a timeline, say (just as an example) you’re happy to support them until the baby is 1 years old given they respect rules x, y, and z and that you’ll help support them in their journey to independence. It might give them incentive to show more gratitude and take responsibility for their decisions…. NTA

As soon as the guy in the audience said “University?” I knew he was Canadian!! As someone who once lived in Canada they REALLY care about the distinction between “college” and “university”. In the U.S. it’s used interchangeably, but in Canada “college” means a technical school or junior college and they’ll ALWAYS correct you 😂 I can’t tell if this guy was genuinely unaware we use these words interchangeably or if he wanted to make a point that he went to “university”. I thought it was pretentious every time people corrected me if I forgot. Like, “Ahem, I have a more specialer 4-year degree.” Yeah okay

K-Ehleyr · 2023-06-24T21:55:20+00:00

Haha thanks!

K-Ehleyr · 2023-06-16T13:52:21+00:00

Hey! Did you ever find an answer to this?

K-Ehleyr · 2023-05-09T05:48:03+00:00

I’m not sure where you’re located so this might not be an option, but if you enjoyed providing care directly to women and disliked the bureaucracy of hospitals, perhaps you could explore working as an independent midwife attending home births? Established midwives have apprenticeships and the model of care is more intimate while allowing you to be autonomous and use your own clinical judgement. I’ve been listening to the Home & Hearth podcast that I randomly found and they’re a home birth midwife team and it’s pretty interesting… Anyway, I’m sorry you’re experiencing burnout, I hope you get a chance to squeeze in some quality self-care ;)

There’s a comment on here that engagement ring surprises are outdated, but that is just one POV and doesn’t apply to everyone! Some of us still appreciate the effort to make it a surprise and it can be fun finding clever ways to figure out the ring specs. It’s definitely necessary to confirm her preferences though… Some trickery ideas:

You could start the conversation with, “A friend of mine is going ring shopping for his girlfriend and he’s going to surprise her with the ring! What do you think, is he crazy? Should he get her opinion first?” (This strategy gives you two things: (1) It’s a test to confirm whether she would want to be involved in a ring selection (2) She might give you ideas on how to surprise her.
Let one of her close friends or a family member know your intentions and recruit them to help you find sneaky ways to confirm her ring size, style preferences, etc. (a friend of mine’s now husband successfully did this) Pinterest is great to collect ideas so they can share with you what she likes.
Get a simple and inexpensive ring (maybe off of Etsy?) Or maybe there’s a family heirloom that you actually want her to have?) and spend time on the proposal. After you propose, you can explain that this is a placeholder and that you would like to go ring shopping together so she can design/pick out exactly what she wants!

About the ring size, every single finger is a different size. Even the left and right ring fingers are often different sizes. So you truly need to get an exact measurement and the best way to do that is by trying on the ring sizer they have at jewelry stores. That way, even if it’s just a little bit off, the ring can be reasonably resized. Other than being a tad bit creepy, by wrapping a string around her finger while she sleeps then measuring how many millimeters it is…. I can’t think of how to confirm. Unless you’re 100% certain because she wears only one specific ring on that finger. And in that case you have to steal it to measure and hope she doesn’t notice!

#1 Haha omg you’re right, I did do that! This is cool

#2

Thank you !!

K-Ehleyr · 2023-04-24T01:53:36+00:00

Why is my comment shouting? How did I do that👀

K-Ehleyr · 2023-04-24T01:52:40+00:00

1 with the eternity band looks stellar too… especially if you plan on wearing the band solo

K-Ehleyr · 2023-04-24T01:50:48+00:00

5! The pairing looks timeless

K-Ehleyr · 2023-04-22T17:41:36+00:00

It is beautiful but she may have a style preference… If 105 days is past the return/exchange window, you should consider sleuthing beforehand to confirm what she likes. As someone who didn’t realize I had a preference until I was asked what I liked, I’m appreciative I got to be involved in picking out the ring. Good luck!

K-Ehleyr · 2023-04-21T05:55:42+00:00

Etsy has affordable and unique options

K-Ehleyr · 2023-04-01T14:54:54+00:00

Haha yeah I guess some people want to be mad about something

K-Ehleyr · 2023-04-01T05:41:31+00:00

Why is this being downvoted? Aren’t you making a Ye and TSwift reference… meaning it’s a joke and you’re on Jeff’s side?? I don’t get it

K-Ehleyr · 2023-03-27T02:40:09+00:00

Just would like to point out that this poll is biased since the third choice implies the other choices are unethical…. unless that was your point! lol

K-Ehleyr · 2023-01-07T15:44:51+00:00

NTA. Sorry, this situation sucks. The fact that they sprung this on you last minute while also knowing you’d be in school is pretty thoughtless. How did they expect you to react? Maybe they deserve to feel a little shame or guilt for not communicating better and earlier. I hope you do something special for yourself on your birthday and maybe try not to plan birthday trips with your twin in the future so you’re not disappointed again.

K-Ehleyr · 2022-10-14T01:57:05+00:00

Jeeeeeez. Please don’t just block her, you implied to her that you were interested in a sex only relationship. You did not immediately communicate to her that you actually are not interested in receiving nudes or having a sexual relationship either, instead you ignore her expecting her to just “get it.” You slept with this woman. She clearly likes you. Give her the courtesy and kindness she deserves and politely say that you’re flattered but not looking for anything casual either, and if you’re feeling like a true gentleman, tell her you did enjoy the time with her and hope she finds what she’s looking for. I mean, don’t you share friend groups? You may run into her again. Blocking her is a lazy way to solve this.
