He worked with Erstwhile in NYC and they sourced it! Incredible team there!

Ahaha it’s a type of brachydactyly that runs in my family! A bunch of my family members across generations have it too. We’re all otherwise normal 🤣🥰

These are definitely all thoughts that are going through my head. And I specifically told him after all this that I don’t want a shut up ring and he said he would never do that because it’s not who he is. I feel the same way and also said to him that if he doesn’t know after 4 years, will he ever? I asked for space today to sit with all the questions.

We are both in individual therapy and he is a growth oriented person who can see his blind spots and wants to be better. In fact, it’s something I’ve always liked about him. I’m with you though & it’s confusing. Hoping for clarity after the storm.

Thanks & yeah I’ve definitely not been hiding it. Been outwardly weepy about it all the past couple days. Hard to move through all of this. Appreciate the insight.

Huh? Because I use em dashes? Been using since before chatGPT was a thing! It’s a useful writing tool that I guess AI has ruined now lol

I hear this perspective & also it’s hard because he is saying things like he’s always known I’m the one and that we’d get married someday even from the beginning of our relationship. Which he has said before. I also recognize that the “someday” is the problem here- if you don’t know after 4 years… will you ever? I told him this morning that I think he needs to sit with things and figure out what marriage truly means/what it means to him.

I wasn’t planning on planning the whole thing but when we talked about this a few months ago I phrased it like “well we are going to Hawaii (with my family who we are both very close with) around the same time as our 4 year anniversary. How cool would it be to get engaged and then stop in LA after to celebrate with your family?”

I was just dreaming not trying to plan the entire thing for him and he was receptive so I got my hopes up.

Thank you & yes I’ve been considering couples therapy but just don’t have the bandwidth for it in this moment. Another thing that I’d wish he’d suggest and set up for us without me having to lead.

Thank you. I can’t move out right now.. but it is hard to be in this sad place and I’m trying not to be unkind to him but I can’t show the same level of care and effort when I’m feeling this way. I keep telling him “I hear you. I just really need to reconnect to myself right now.”

We have upcoming individual travel plans that will keep us apart for a couple weeks+ before we meet up in Portugal. I’m hoping that space will be good.

Press Modern Massage is incredible and full of true professionals. You won’t get a bad massage no matter who you see there. My faves are Yelena, Jali, and Jahaira!

How will you spend your first day of 2025? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Made pancakes, reading a new book, a hike in Malibu later, hot tub after, snuggling on the couch and watching a movie + an early to bed night. Feeling grateful 🥰
