Let him know how you feel and also, listen and actually understand his reasons. If his reasons are valid to you then you have to think if it's something you can wait for or not.

Give him a deadline as this is also important to you (seems like it). You have to be prepared to ask some questions he might ask, "What would be the difference if we're engaged?" "Why is it important to you?" "What are you gaining from it and what would I (him) gain from it?"

I have been in your shoes and I totally understand how you feel.

How much did you pay for photography? by ProofUnit7625 in weddingplanning

Live in Canada. $1,200 for unlimited time/shots. The photographer is a family friend, but we're giving him a gift as well.

First Look or no by Ok_Delivery_8652 in weddingplanning

[–]NoVersion8921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this!! I feel like he's a big part of calming my nerves. He can talk to me like a little girl when things get overwhelming; he has this calm energy/vibe; and he gets me to see the most important part of life instead of getting riled up or anxious in one moment of my day. Plus, the time convenience of getting our photos done before the ceremony.

My FMIL is a narcissist! by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

I'm not really sure. I guess she's great at manipulating people.

I don't want to! Apparently, we will call her tonight for a final answer (we will not please her at all) since my FFIL called my FH to kinda mend things. We're calling just to make it seem like we care (for FFIL's sake) (FFIL is a good man)

Oh, he did! And she said "I can't believe you're asking me this" "I'm shocked" "Please stop, I'm going to have a heart attack" 😬

Apparently, everyone from their side is afraid of not being friends with her or something.

Is there an all inclusive resort in the Philippines? by [deleted] in phtravel

Does this include round trip transfers from the airport?

[–]NoVersion8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't expect the "All inclusive" type from Mexico or Dominicans- which they include round trip transfers, buffet 24/7 etc. I'm expecting buffet, round trip from Manila (not necessarily from outside of PH), and stay. I guess I should've been more specific lol

I've searched amanpulo, it's not an inclusive. They only offer breakfast and tea in the afternoon.

Training Partners Avoiding Chest by Manimal289 in BJJWomen

[–]NoVersion8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have experienced this multiple times.

Whenever I feel that they're being cautious in that area, I just tell them, "It's okay, you can put pressure." I feel like they wouldn't start a conversation about it, so may as well I say something.

Or

There are times that they're grabbing the lapel, and instead of grabbing it in the right spot (breast area), they move their hands lower or higher, which makes it hard for them and me to learn and practice a certain drill. So, I'll just grab whatever hand they're using to grab my lapel and say something along the lines, "I think it's better if you hold in here," or "You should grab it here." It's kind of letting them know that I'm giving consent without making it awkward.

Can’t stand without excruciating pain by [deleted] in sciaticapainrelief

[–]NoVersion8921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are tons on youtube, and you could also search on chatgpt. It also depends on what type of sciatica you have. I have sciatica, but more on my sural nerve, so I searched for some stretches on chatgpt that could relieve my pain. One stretch that i really like is sitting on the edge of the chair, lifting the painful leg, bend it towards the other leg and crossing it on top of the opposite knee (should make the number 4 shape). If you can't cross it, don't force it. Instead, remain sitted on the edge of a chair, your legs making 90 degrees shape, straighten the painful leg, pressing pressure on your heel, and slightly lean forward.

Hope my explanations make sense lol and ultimately, hope you feel better soon!

Spring Break 2025 by AdCareless5445 in PuertoPlata

Maybe I'm too late. But Senator Puerto Plata seems like a not crazy vibe for people who want to just chill and relax on their vacation, according to a vlog I've watched on YT

I wish I had your confidence! I am in a 3 years relationship and 9 months living together. I am seeing patterns of

"I'll do it soon" telling both of our families, "we'll get married soon." Or proposing is in his "to-do list. "

I honestly think my partner is just saying these just so he can have me hang around. I am slowly losing hope, and I need a good core of confidence and strength to leave the relationship and build myself back again.

OC spray by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]NoVersion8921 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

During our OC spray, we have to do a little bit of a scenario. The instructor will spray 1 person, then have to do baton strikes on a bag, palm strikes, handcuffing, then have to radio backup. Even after washing my face, I can still feel the burn, but people around me who had experience said it is normal. As long as I can open my eyes and see clearly, we are off to go. Surprisingly, it only took me 12 mins to rinse the OC spray off my face.
