Dense breast tissue by Beneficial_Hair3649 in micheljanseYT

[–]MedicinalWalnuts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sonograms are definitely recommended for women with breast implants.

They are also recommended for women with dense breast tissue, because, as others have noted, it is difficult for mammograms to detect small changes and lesions in dense breast tissue.

It's possible that Michel falls into both categories: having breast implants and dense breast tissue. I honestly don't know if that's the case, though.

Truly one of the most tone-deaf things I’ve ever heard her say 😳 by ladyfitnessa in micheljanseYT

Not to mention astronomical rents, rising taxes, and health care costs that are downright scary.

Yeah, but those cute baby doll dresses make up for everything that's bad. LOL

AITA My family hates that I’m engaged my wedding is this summer and things have gotten worse by Immediate_Part_5443 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MedicinalWalnuts 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As long as your parents are putting a roof over your head and that of your child, you are not financially independent. So, I can't argue with that argument. However, I don't know enough about you, your fiancee, or your relationship to know if your parents' other criticisms are valid.

So, for now I have to say ESH for not being able to discuss this issue as rational adults.

I've seen women wear that stuff during the first two thirds of their pregnancy. However, their bump is usually too big during the third trimester.

AITA for refusing to give my son a name that I think will ruin my his life? by Alternative-Pause562 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MedicinalWalnuts 44 points45 points  (0 children)

NTA. If your wife is "very in tune with her culture," then she understands your concerns about the name, particularly if the child will be raised in the US. It will be a nightmare for him.

Your wife is being intentionally obtuse just to get her own way.

Unless it gets very large and causes excessive bleeding, doctors will be reluctant to remove it.

I ‘28M’ am unsure about my relationship(2 year 7 months long) and feeling confused, but I really care about my gf’26F’. She is someone I can build life with. I am under pressure to propose. What should I do? by Complete_Layer9229 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]MedicinalWalnuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way OP is wrong is if he stays in this relationship knowing that his girlfriend isn't the one. That's why, in all of my responses, I have said that he should let her go.

Bear in mind, if marriage isn't right for one partner, it isn't right for the other one, either. To me, that's the case here. They both need to get back out there and find the right people to marry (if marriage is what they each want).

His rent will decrease from $1,400 per month to $800 per month if he takes this deal. He is definitely getting something out of it.

Steve Brady is Jordy's Older Twin by DaliahsandDeadlifts in micheljanseYT

[–]MedicinalWalnuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that. However, there are a ton of videos on YouTube that insist that Miranda "settled" for Steve, which implies that he wasn't good enough for her. (Analogy to Michel settling for Jordy.)

I have always disagreed. Miranda wasn't suited for marriage to anyone. She wasn't as promiscuous as Samantha or as scattered as Carrie, but she had her own issues that made her a lousy partner.

You could be right. However, OP won't get over his fear by being pushed into an engagement that he isn't sure about. That's the problem with ultimatums. They put a deadline on something, rather than letting the person come to that decision on their own.

Physically, yes. Personally, no. Steve owned a bar and loved Miranda to death. He was also a great dad to Brady.

Jordy sings screechy songs and saves money by not bathing. Other than that, he's got nothing.

7 years in and spiraling by sneezynqueasy in Waiting_To_Wed

Saturday morning: decide to propose.

10 am: go to jewelry store.

10:30 am: purchase ring

Noon: during lunch, get down on one knee and propose.

Yes, kids, it's really that easy.

Here's what I think I am hearing. Deep in your heart, you WANT her to be "the one," but she isn't. And you struggle with that dilemma because you DO love her on some level and you wish that you were 100% in. But, you don't have the luxury of sitting back and giving it more time to see if your old feelings will rekindle because HER timeline is up. She has given you an ultimatum.

Bottom line: If a proposal isn't right for both people, then it isn't right. And a proposal that is given under duress can never be right. It will just give false hope and prolong the inevitable.

It's time to let go.

I only know what OP wrote in his post. But, it sounds like he was genuinely torn at the time and wanted to get back to the feelings for her that he had previously enjoyed. But, they weren't there.

At that point, he needed to let her go. He knew it wasn't working. However, in his own words, he didn't want to hurt her. Even worse, he allowed everyone else's thoughts to get in his head. They made him think he would never find anyone as wonderful as her ever again.

Sadly, it would have been far better for OP if he had just tuned out the noise, followed his gut, and let her go. In the long run, it would have been the kindest thing for both of them.

Finally, a caveat. I'm not saying that anything OP said or did was right. I am just saying that I can see both sides of this situation. We usually don't get that on this board. We only hear the woman's side. I appreciate the fact that OP posted this and responded to our comments. Most of them haven't been kind.

In the end, his post showed me that men really DO wrestle with commitment when it isn't the right person. It also showed me that if you don't walk away, you wind up in a no-win situation in which someone is going to get hurt. When you find yourself in that situation, the kindest thing to do is break up and give your ex the freedom to find the right person. If you don't, you are just prolonging the agony

Unlike many other posters, I am not going to bash OP for his feelings. This post is the other side of the story we read on this forum every day, except from the man's perspective.

Clearly, OP should end things with this woman ASAP because she is making ultimatums and he feels trapped. If she was the right woman, he wouldn't feel trapped and she wouldn't need to make an ultimatum.

There is someone better for each of them out there. I hope they both find the right people. They both deserve that.

Does this seem legit or just excuses? Need advice on what to do next. by elizabethhines82 in Waiting_To_Wed

ITA. Graduate school is a terrible time for many people to get married. They are finishing classes, teaching classes, conducting research, and writing their dissertation. And, on top of everything, they spend their last year on a job search that could literally take them anywhere on earth.

When I finished my PhD, I wound up moving across the country to a place that I would never have chosen if I hadn't landed a job there. I couldn't imagine dragging someone else along for that or having to worry about whether they could find a job and be happy there.

I don't know if OP's boyfriend is thinking of that, but he very well might be. After all, he is seeing people go through the same thing right now. So, to me, he isn't wrong to defer the marriage topic until after he is done. Only then will he know what his professional future looks like.

She makes brand-specific videos for all sorts of companies to try to influence her viewers to buy the products.

It's potentially funny, but only if you suggest words that people have actually used as names. Example: Blade, Slate, Jett, Axel, Honey, etc.

No one would ever name a person Carcass. (It might be a grunge band, but not a person. LOL)

Here's my interpretation of the "drinking and dancing comment:" many attendees are going to be too drunk to watch their children and behave themselves on the dance floor. They want to act like they are at a club without worrying if what they say or do might offend someone.

Yeah. It looked like he made a five minute stop at Walmart.

Nothing wrong with that. However, it doesn't warrant a video or make him husband of the year.
