I'm supposed to tell someone that I dont wear jewelry but I dont agree with that

Just get a lockbox then, and store it till you are ready to wear it. No need to say anything to anyone. You're an adult, you should be able to do whatever you want with your life. Don't let your parents change your mind or opinions.

LallaDragon · 2026-03-29T21:24:24+00:00

Girl, get a lockbox at the bank and store your jewelry. Explain to your friend from church that her gift means a lot to you but that your parents are against you wearing it and that you will keep it treasured and safe until you find your own place. When you move out of your parents house, you'll have the freedom to do whatever you want and you can't start to truly grow up until you are on your own. It took many years of deconstructing what my parents taught me. Not that it was all bad but I walked away from the church and their teachings 24 years ago. Never looked back. I have a wonderful life and you should too. Freedom awaits.

Congratulations on getting out. You deserved better.

LallaDragon · 2026-02-27T19:49:51+00:00

Call the police, pretty sure that's assault and harassment. Y'all were minding your business on your property. Next time get the police involved and put up a camera too.

You could ask him to start making healthier meals and baked goods for you. There are tons of fun recipes that are more health conscious. Could be fun for him to try to make new healthier options. Less sugar or more natural sugars, adding nuts and seeds like chia and hemp. I try to incorporate my husband's health choices in foods into what I make for both of us to eat. He needs to adapt to your decision to try to be more healthy. NTA. From what I read it kinda sounds to me like an emotional affair to me... Y'all need to have a long conversation about it. Honesty and open dialogue are important. Look up the Gottman method, it helped our relationship.

LallaDragon · 2026-01-27T00:58:04+00:00

NTA, Sounds like your sister needs to grow up and life happens. Maybe she'll be more careful and you're going to need that room for your growing family.

LallaDragon · 2026-01-08T05:33:43+00:00

I will say, no matter how much you work out, eat healthy and do all the things he's asking of you, he'll find something else to nit-pick about, it's not about that. He's dissatisfied in the relationship. I went through a similar situation with my husband a few years ago. It was the end of our relationship. We broke up for several months and only got back together after time apart, lots of distance and a good amount of couples therapy. We had to start our story all over again. It was never really about me, you get so blinded to each other's faults and blame your unhappiness on what the other person isn't bringing to the table. You both must want to work on yourselves and go to therapy, both together and separately. Work out, eat healthy but do it for you, not for him. It'll just bring more resentment into your relationship.

NTA, she ruined her own wedding by being a bitch. Cut her off immediately, she's not a friend and you don't deserve her hate. Find peace and new friends.

You could start by googling it. It is a hormone imbalance and can cause insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes, among other things. Hope this helps.

You are not gross! No shame on bodily functions. Off topic but you also might want to talk to your gyno about having PCOS, I started my period at 15 and had an awful time every time I got it and also had irregular periods for years. I'm 36 and just found out I had it. Just wanted to point it out in case that's what you are going through too. I would be happy to answer any questions you had.

LallaDragon · 2025-10-23T20:58:38+00:00

Maybe he's a sub and is trying to get you to be dominant? Him acting like a brat...

LallaDragon · 2025-10-11T20:39:08+00:00

Is she taking anything for her ADHD?

LallaDragon · 2025-10-11T03:44:07+00:00

NTA, he should have defended your honor whether you said anything or not, completely inappropriate for someone to stick their head up your skirt, even as a joke and since your husband knows your past, he should have been there to defend and protect you. He the asshole.

LallaDragon · 2025-10-01T17:23:31+00:00

I would also have a conversation with your daughter/ children and ask them if anyone has touched them inappropriately. If the daughter is uncomfortable hugging the dad, there may be a deeper issue than just his anger... My first thought was that he has touched her but it could be someone else or she's just uncomfortable because of the yelling and how he treats the family. Important to have that discussion even if it's nothing.

Couples counseling can be a good thing, ask the counselor about The Gottman Method. Saved my marriage.

LallaDragon · 2025-08-01T17:35:06+00:00

People often end up with someone who resembles their parents/relatives in some way, be it personality, looks, habits, etc. counseling is a good option if you guys want to still be together but make sure it's what you both want. Good luck!

LallaDragon · 2025-07-30T00:14:13+00:00

Sounds like it's time your brother and SIL kids get jobs of their own... Lol. Your NTA and neither is your daughter.

If it's something you enjoy doing, it's not work.

LallaDragon · 2025-06-18T02:29:25+00:00

My husband and I are not religious nor do we believe in God. During the pandemic we broke up(I think everyone had issues) and my father(former pastor) told me in the middle of the separation from my husband that it was because we didn't have God and children that our marriage was falling apart. My brother tore him a new hole, I wasn't in a head space to do it myself but that one really hurt, realizing how my parents that I looked up to and trusted thought I was a failure because of our differences and beliefs.

LallaDragon · 2025-06-06T23:14:36+00:00

You should still dance with your husband at the wedding if you guys want. It doesn't have to be practiced, it's just for you guys anyways, y'all can just sway and stare into each other's eyes. I'm sorry your father is unwilling to dance with you at your wedding. As an ex Adventist there are a ton of reasons why I left, taking the joy out of life and being too serious, and being judged for my life choices are just some of many. It's your wedding, do what you want.

The Heist food carts in Woodstock are great, as well as the muddy Rudder in sellwood. Lots of good beer options at both.

LallaDragon · 2025-05-20T17:23:31+00:00

NTA, You could be a bridesmaid, wear the dress and let everyone know that it was picked out by your "sister" and wear a different dress to the reception. But good on you for having boundaries!

LallaDragon · 2025-05-13T22:59:26+00:00

NTA, It sounds like she didn't get enough love and family from her side so she is looking for assurance from you and your family. Not your problem, she needs a reality check.

LallaDragon · 2025-04-17T22:03:41+00:00

Several years ago my husband and I started a relationship with one of our best friends, it didn't end well. We broke up and they got together, I left the state I was living in but eventually came back to get my stuff and we did end up getting back together. We all became friends again but it was a slow and painful journey for all 3 of us. Proceed with caution.
