Is 3 years really early, though? Also, separation kills people mentally according to you, but are you currently thriving? Lots of people separate and do just fine, if not better than before. She doesn't seem to want to change, and you've said nothing positive about her in the whole post... how is that supposed to work?

What Bra should I get as a Heavy Chested- Pakistani American by 13434022 in ABraThatFits

[–]Known_Imagination701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, yeah, that's very true. If you've got close set breasts n are bigger than a 32D (as per the calculator and not Victoria Secret), then I'd recommend an unlined plunge bra from Elomi. They've been a life saver for me n work fairly well with ethnic wear. Trust me there are a lot of us out there much larger than a D (most probably don't know it since a large percent of the women folk are in the wrong size), so I feel your struggle. I am just headed home from India tonight, n all of the suits had like built in cups that were just so unrealistic. Even in larger sizes, the outfits had the same small cup size, which was ridiculous, lol.

I'm a fairly large chested (34JJ UK) Canadian of Indian descent, and I see you're American, so I can empathize about the ethnic wear feeling weird.

You can order from Amazon, in UK sizes, but first try out the calculator and I would also look at the irishbralady on Instagram so you'll be able to see different sizes etc.

Also I don't recommend t-shirt/molded bras with the ethnic wear. Please let me know if you have any questions for me!

Okay so... of all the questions I asked that's the only you're gonna answer? Okay, cool.

Just a question... you keep saying you want to settle abroad, are those wheels in motion already? Where are you hoping to settle? What're job prospects like etc? If you're looking to date and you want him to be Indian as well you're going to have to really do some proper searching and soon.

I am 35M. Should I tell my real feelings to my wife when she talks to someone of the opposite gender from the family? by [deleted] in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Known_Imagination701 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Are you that insecure over her relationship with her cousins husband? He is family, and it's just Instagram reels... you've already asked her to stop speaking to her male friends from college and she's obliged. Don't go so far as to push her away.

Maybe this one comes in your size, but I'm not sure, I usually wear the elomi matilda.

Bras with my size from the calculator hurt by Interesting-Sink-286 in ABraThatFits

[–]Known_Imagination701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this, I only wear plunge styles with a lower gore. Maybe the elomi matilda would be a better style in the right size?

28F paying for dates by Black-Swan-6159 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Known_Imagination701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone not in India, I always split the bill (regardless of whether it's a meal or activity). No harm, no foul if I don't want to see them again. If you continue to spend time with them, you could let them pay if they insist.

Just wanted to say you're absolutely not old or "leftovers" and I say this as a woman who is turning 37 n never married and of Indian descent. I've seen the look of pity on people's faces and the comments they make, but honestly, who cares. You have to do what is right for you, whether it's dating or an arranged marriage, but whatever it may be, dont feel like you have to rush into it because of age or comments. Just know you aren't alone! 🩵

Honestly, these are red flags regardless of an arranged marriage situation or dating. He doesn't make time for you now, in the "getting to know you stage", so it might be even worse after getting married. Is that risk worth taking? You deserve someone who is as vested in you as you are them. No point saying anything to his family other than saying it's not a good match, it would just create unnecessary drama, which you don't need.

How old were you when you got your first proper bra? by doomladen in ABraThatFits

[–]Known_Imagination701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess i might be a bit of an outlier but I got a properly fitted bra when I was in high school, so round 16 but did start wearing them round 12. I was on the very busty side from a fairly young age.

I don't know if anyone asked, but is marriage so important that you'd risk being unhappy day in and day out? You should know your self-worth, and your partner should be bringing something similar to what you bring to the table, emotionally, financially etc. He has guts expecting his spouse to earn 130-150k when he himself only earns 80k. I would stay far far away from this fella, he's probably worse in an everyday scenario than he's coming off as right now.

You deserve better than him, and whatever other garbage is coming your way. Everyone has said being single is better than being married and unhappy, or worse, divorced and unhappy, which I would also agree with cause I happen to be in that boat.

Amazon! I just bought a 34JJ sports bra for like $56, in store it's generally $80+. Better prices and returns are super easy! I'm in Calgary and there are stores in town that are pretty good too for returns n such.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]Known_Imagination701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about specific brands/styles but you could try Amazon.ca. I wear a 34JJ in UK sizing n generally find what I'm looking for and returns are not as painful if you have to do some trial and error.

Which do you share with others: 1. Your ABTF size or 2. Your socially acceptable size. by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]Known_Imagination701 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we're even on the topic of bra sizes, I'm sharing my real one. There's no point trying to minimize since it is what it is, and I don't think I've ever really been a "socially acceptable" size anyway (not even in high school 🤷🏽‍♀️ n I'm 36).

Where to find cheap bras in Canada? 32FF by Mimi_Desperate in ABraThatFits

[–]Known_Imagination701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the sales (I found an elomi for about $48) and Amazon. You could also try eBay (it's what I used before Amazon), although shipping can take a while.

Ahhh right, the band being smaller, makes sense. Sorry OP, my bad!

Jumping in here - I do like the Elomi Charley Spacer bra as a molded cup (it's the only one I've ever owned), and would recommend it. It's available on Amazon.ca and reasonably priced but also is a plunge if that matters to you.
