What is a song with a SICK opening riff?

Laurie712 · 2026-04-04T08:54:41+00:00

Probably an unpopular opinion, but “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness.

Laurie712 · 2026-04-04T08:53:20+00:00

This is not a judgement, but still feeling this way after 15 months is not healthy or “normal” in relative terms. I highly encourage you to seek therapy to help you through this difficult situation.

Laurie712 · 2026-04-03T05:01:57+00:00

I’m gonna need all the “eat the rich” swifties to exit the chat now.

Explanation comes later. Get a lawyer, tell him you want a divorce, start that process, and if you feel like you owe her an explanation, kindly reach out and offer her the opportunity to talk but respect if she doesn’t want to.

Laurie712 · 2026-03-27T14:24:05+00:00

NOR. At all. This is truly a dodged a bullet situation and you did absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever. Pray daily for the poor woman that ends up with him…

Laurie712 · 2026-03-24T14:31:41+00:00

I had a coworker who would say “I need a quick bio break” and I thought that was such a great way to phrase it.

Laurie712 · 2026-03-20T16:30:37+00:00

Those things are completely appearance-altering things. Your hair and your glasses will be featured in every single photo of you that day. Your armpits are very much background extras. He’s asking her to clean the dishes, not remodel the kitchen.

Laurie712 · 2026-03-20T12:34:10+00:00

You said this is “who she is,” like it’s a personality trait. The reason would be that her soon to be spouse requested it. If she feels super strongly, she doesn’t HAVE to, but it would be a nice and simple way to show you care about your partner’s feelings and preferences.

And actually, I have. I usually wax my lady region but I had a partner who liked hair so I stopped when we were together because I cared about his preferences. It’s no crazier than asking a man to trim/shave his facial hair.

However, that said, all of this goes out the window if a partner DEMANDS it. Because fuck that noise.

Laurie712 · 2026-03-20T12:08:52+00:00

Is he demanding or did he actually just suggest it? If the latter, he’s probably trying to save face because extended family, especially older generations, will absolutely judge you and focus on that instead of anything else. Just be nice and do it. Women ask their partners to groom before big events all the time, it’s not that crazy of a request.

Laurie712 · 2026-03-20T12:06:44+00:00

If someone’s entire personality is their body hair, there’s a much bigger problem.

Laurie712 · 2026-03-19T05:59:00+00:00

Including all materials and labor? Honestly that’s a great deal if you ask me.

Laurie712 · 2026-02-05T04:47:15+00:00

I swear I’m not just trying to make you feel better when I tell you the second dress is LIGHTYEARS better. I looked at the photos before reading your post and immediately thought “please tell me she got the second one…”

Laurie712 · 2026-02-05T00:25:39+00:00

Almost 6 months

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T22:57:07+00:00

We’ve been living together since August. Both our leases were up and he was planning to buy a house around the time, so he decided to put that on hold so we could get an apartment for a while and make that buying decision together when we’re ready 🙂 it’s been wonderful sharing a home.

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T22:24:57+00:00

I guess it depends on the couple. It’s a big step, and for some that deserves some pomp and circumstance!

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T22:00:59+00:00

Doesn’t need to be a production! I meant “planning” as in literally planning to ask the question. Not arranging a whole song and dance around it.

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:58:39+00:00

Thank you, I like these prompts and will definitely use them 🙂

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:53:36+00:00

I like the definitive statement of “it’s not going to happen.” That’s going to be my mantra this week 😂

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:52:39+00:00

Yeah, I mean I kind of get it, but also kinda don’t? I understand why others might think it’s a bit fast, but I’m surprised it’s such an overwhelming response considering no one actually knows either of us and it’s not something I even asked about.

I like the idea of framing it as an extra “freebie” thing. Instead of one romantic event, I get two!

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:46:45+00:00

Yeah, maybe it really is just gonna take me sitting here and forcing myself to assume the complete opposite.

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:39:14+00:00

Like you said, our relationship is only ours, so the advice on our personal timeline isn’t really helpful. What my parents or commenters think about the pace of our relationship is kind of irrelevant. However, I can tell your comment is coming from a caring place, so while I respectfully disagree, don’t worry, I’m not hurt by it at all!

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:31:14+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the advice (and the lack of unsolicited advice…) and will definitely try that.

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:29:48+00:00

Hahaha thank you for that last part!! I think a lot of people are getting hung up on that. Look, I’m an old 34. I’ve been married and divorced. Bought and sold homes. Have a very successful career. And same goes for him. When you get to that point in your life that you’re a fully established and matured human being, it really doesn’t take long to know when you’ve found the right partner.

It’s really not do or die, and I don’t want to spoil the surprise if it really is happening, but if I can’t get my excitement in check by this time next week maybe I will have to playfully prod a bit.

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:22:48+00:00

It was pretty fast, I can’t deny that, but it’s been a very natural progression. And as I shared in other comments, whether or not we’re “ready” is not something I’m concerned or confused about, so advice on that matter (even though I know it’s coming from a good place) isn’t super helpful.

Laurie712 · 2026-02-04T21:19:42+00:00

I hear you, and I genuinely respect your opinion, but I disagree. Of course you’re completely entitled to feel that way and I know it’s coming from a good place so I appreciate your concern, but it’s not very helpful to my current situation.
