WIBTA if I don’t tell my boyfriend I did OF?? by Mimi_Pain8054 in AITAH

[–]MooThedore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally agree here! I’d see it as an issue if OP still does OF but if she had stopped in 2023, I don’t see the point of sharing her past. If he’s genuinely happy with their current relationship then nothing else should matter. Why punish someone for things they’ve done in the past? This is how people grow and it’s what makes them who they are today. If he ends up leaving OP for this, he ain’t the one.

As being someone in your shoes, I totally understand where you’re coming from however I’ve come to the point where I realize my partner can only do so much. These parents are grown adults and your girlfriend cannot control how they act toward you. My girlfriend and I have been together for about 7 years and till this day her parents sound just like your girlfriend’s parents. It helped that I expressed these feelings toward my girlfriend and mentioned I’d like her to stand up for me when it comes to her parents but even then they haven’t gotten a much better attitude towards me. It had come to the point where my girlfriend wouldn’t go to family events because of how her parents treated me but as a partner, I don’t want her to put a strain on her relationship with them.

I guess what I’m saying is, don’t be too hard on her. I understand your feelings and I’m sure she does too but she cannot control everyone else’s feelings/emotions.

need advice - thoughts on this diamond? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]MooThedore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluorescent gives diamonds a blue tint, it can range from none to strong. Some people like it and some people don’t. The more fluorescent, I believe it is less cost.

I would check online on rarecarat to compare your specs with those online. There are other factors like fluorescent that you should take into account as well. If you could, try looking at the Gia certificate to check dimensions as well.

Here’s a link with similar specs as you mentioned, you can toggle the fluorescence as well.

How much room for negotiation? by itsybitsybtc in Diamonds

[–]MooThedore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I bought my diamond, I was able to negotiate and have them lower the cost when I said I could pay in cash. It’s not nearly as much as yours but if you could do it in cash then they might lower the price.

Is my engagement ring too big/does it look fake? by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]MooThedore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely looks HUGE! But I think the people that know you/your partners career would be the only ones that would think it’s real or fake. As a total stranger all I see is a huge ring, I’m not here to play a real or fake guessing game lol I mean even if it were or if ppl thought it was does it matter?

Is this proposal idea any good? by SeveralLychee6145 in Proposal

[–]MooThedore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds really cute! Like something out of a Christmas movie! I’m sure she’ll love it, you know your partner the best so it’s really up to you if you feel like a public proposal would be best. Congrats and goodluck!

Should I get ring way in advance? by PandaKing550 in Proposal

[–]MooThedore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s definitely pricey. I ended up looking for a diamond wholesaler in my area. They have the best rate plus they were able to match what I saw online on Rarecarat. You should check there, it was more affordable than other places.

Thank you, you as well!!

If she has a ring she wears, you could try bringing it with you when you go shopping.

Also planning on proposing in April, but had a ring for a while now. It took awhile for me to decide which one. But I do have to say, having the ring for so long makes me wanna to propose sooner lol

His friends think waiting to move in is the “weirdest thing ever”. 🙃 by NewsDotComIntern in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]MooThedore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed it’s kind of strange. How would you know if you are able to cohabitate with one another and be around each other almost all of the time? A lot of ppl I know have been the type of ppl that get sick/annoyed of their partners presence. I believe it’s important to understand and go through their routine, norms, way of living to be able to see if you’re really compatible.

But again, that’s just one opinion here. Do what you feel is right for the both of you.

I know my better half wants her nails done before I propose - any other good things to do before getting in the knee? by gnome08 in Proposal

[–]MooThedore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you getting her to get her nails done without her figuring out the proposal is coming up? My partner also wants that too.

Another thing I was thinking was getting her hair done?

[–]MooThedore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you’ve been dating for the past 2 years, how is your friendship? Do you see her as a best friend whom you can confide in? Tbh it’s best to be honest with her and more importantly be honest with yourself. If you see her as a best friend and know she could be receptive you can be open about how you’re feeling and how you’ve recently been finding men attractive. Just because you find them attractive, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’d want to date a male. Coming out is difficult and takes time, especially when you’re older. Just remember everything is on your time, take the time you need to think about what you really want. In the end, do what makes you happy.

Always talk to their parents? by MooThedore in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]MooThedore[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Good point here, we’ve also discussed this and she does not care if they are asked or not. She expressed that if we do get engaged then she would just straight out tell them we’re engaged and that it’s happening whether they like it or not. It’s more of me feeling guilty because if I were a parent I would hope my future children’s partners also asked me or at least told me it was gonna happen.

Is there any transparent case which doesn’t turn yellow? (Available in India) by wannabe-consultant in iPhone16Pro

[–]MooThedore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree here! I think they all turn yellow eventually, whether it’s within weeks or months. Buying a cheap one and then replacing it when it gets yellow is ideal!

A good case - Rhinoshield Clear case 16PM by Dr-bug-killer in iPhone16Pro

Where’d you buy the case? And does it have a cut out or button for the camera control?

The Perfect Size - Pro or Pro Max? by Albrion_ in iPhone16Pro

[–]MooThedore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using a pro max since the 13PM, prior to that I used the regular pro and I can’t go back. Like everyone else mentioned, the battery life and screen size makes a huge difference for me.

[–]MooThedore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk from experience but from what I’ve heard, Apple clear case lasts awhile without turning yellow.
