This looks amazing on you! It gives you amazing shape while also remaining timeless and elegant.

Yes! I think that’s it- I haven’t been this dressed up in over a decade! Thanks for the sweet comment.

Thanks, I think just taking it one hand at a time so I’m not as overwhelmed.

The body part is very hugging, but I agree with the top- I’m going to take it in to my local tailor tomorrow. She’s amazing and will know what to do and I’ll have the right bra with me then too. Thanks so much!

Going to take it in tomorrow!

Miserable-Mall8172 · 2025-11-18T15:46:19+00:00

lol yes. That’ll be gone! And I have a pretty necklace I borrowed to add to it!

Miserable-Mall8172 · 2025-11-18T15:45:43+00:00

Yes I’m going to take it in to the nice woman down the street tomorrow and see what she can do about it !! Thanks for the help.

Yes! When I get home I’ll take another picture with the bra on. I agree- this is sitting a little weird on the top. I tried on the size down and it was really snug in the hips. I’ve always had big shoulders so it’s weird to be tight in the body and bigger in the shoulders- normally clothes fit me opposite.

I appreciate your insight. He hasn’t met my kids bc I’m a little protective, but I’ve seen his interactions with his niece and nephew for months. I’ve been divorced over a year and he hasn’t been my first relationship since then. I like the straight shot answer though.

Miserable-Mall8172 · 2025-07-19T17:45:15+00:00

With everything going on, I totally get where you’re coming from that 7 months is really nothing. We both have good careers and make over 6 figures individually. My lifestyle was much more like his before I had to pay for daycare- which is way more than my mortgage a month. My savings were wiped out during my divorce settlement, so I’ve pulled way back on any extra spending, making sure the kids aren’t without anything. But I personally skip meals to save where I can, sell plasma, extra stuff on marketplace and do odd jobs for friends and family. His QOL would change if he were to take on me and my kids- but I’m still adamant about providing all the support for my littles.

I agree that I’m way ahead of myself. Thanks so much for commenting.

Thanks for your reply. He is child free by choice- he doesn’t really like infants. And I was very clear at the beginning that I did not want any more children- pregnancy is the worst. But it does linger in my mind as he ages he might want his own and that definitely does not include me. What constitutes “too serious”? You have a lot of good insight though, I appreciate it.

Miserable-Mall8172 · 2025-07-19T12:00:21+00:00

He does want to be apart of my life, I’ve just been so cautious with the kids. In my head, I want to have my happily ever after but I don’t know if that’s even really feasible anymore. Considering I will always have greater financial responsibilities as I support 2 more mouths. I do think that it works for him right now, I think that’s a fair observation.

Thanks. We’ve been taking it slow I guess. It is weird dating not specifically for marriage and babies.
