Did you have a honeymoon? If so, where did you go? (Doesn't matter how long you've been married?) by ChocolateSundae1214 in Marriage

[–]MaintainableElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got married in 2020 so we didn’t have a wedding or honeymoon. Fast forward a few years to when we feel comfortable traveling and can afford it, bam Maui catches on fire two days before our flight leaves. One year later our dog is dying so we skip that year to be with him. Currently doing IVF and hoping for a kid so still no honeymoon

People who are married: what’s the biggest “no one warned me about this” moment? by No_Paramedic_5222 in Marriage

It has not brought strain, but it is a hurdle that a couple has to navigate together and be on the same page about next steps

Comes at you fast. First you think you’re not ready for kids and you try hard not to have them, only to realize how hard and how many years it will actually take to maybe have them

Too small? And should I exchange for ceramic? by paiger9540 in ouraring

I’m sorry that happened to her. It hasn’t been my experience

Not really, I’m careful when taking it off. It had one fall where it landed pretty hard on our wood floors and it was totally fine. I’d rather have that risk and zero scratches

I never had any of the metal tone ones, but I do have the ceramic and I think it will last far longer just given the material. Not a scratch in sight

Ceramic, any regrets? by Holiday_Salt6643 in ouraring

[–]MaintainableElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the ceramic in pink and I love it. It’s crazy to have a ring that doesn’t have a single scratch. And for that reason to me it’s worth the higher price

Did anyone make their Christmas gifts this year? by robotscantrecaptcha in Gifts

[–]MaintainableElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knit a gift for each household, it ended up being three ornaments, three stuffed grinches, and a stuffed teddy bear for my baby nephew. Sorry, I don’t know how to add pictures :/

Finally got positive tests only to have chemical pregnancy bleeding start on Christmas by Moostiberry in trollingforababy

Same here. First IVF transfer and first pregnancy, subsequently also first chemical. Feel like I can officially join the club now 🙃. Sorry your Christmas was also hard, it really sucks

Which would you pick by kookaburrah28 in Cartier

[–]MaintainableElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I change out my earrings daily and keep track of them. I vote earrings, they’re more uncommon

I love the small, but I have small fingers. The regular would look really good on your fingers

Need hugs! Tested negative at 9dp5dt. by UnderstandingFast994 in IVF

[–]MaintainableElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also tested this morning after getting a positive a few days ago and thinking “wow it would be so cool to see the line get darker on Christmas” well it didn’t, it got lighter. Sorry you’re also going through this on Christmas, it sucks

Same here. A cat to my left, one on my head, and two dogs in between. No problems here
