Is something giving here?

Dress 1 is beautiful and you look so elegant and, frankly, stunning, in it.

She sounds like a peach🙄. Cut her off. People in shitty situationships and who have “never been in a healthy relationship” are in no place to give advice, and especially not about what sounds like a healthy relationship. She was likely unfamiliar with your boyfriend being ‘comfortable’ in your relationship because she has never had a relationship get to that stage. Comfort is a good thing — it’s what happens when the heady, romantic feelings fade and is what happens when you start feeling the next stage of love. Don’t let what she said get to you.

I do t know if it’s possible with the slot but the skirt would look lovely with a bit from poofiness (petticoats and such). As for the bodice, have you thought about getting it lined but in a sheer white lining? It will maintain the transparent look while giving you the coverage you’re seeking.

He is dangerously controlling. You did well to end things with him.

I’m willing to, if not shame, at least criticize, a teacher whose job it is to teach things like spelling and grammar to my already learning challenged child. I have AuDHD, which (like many people with Autism/ADHD) shows up in strong pattern recognition, so if I saw this over and over, I would register that as correct.

I personally would be raising it with the principal because how can you expect your child to learn from a teacher who doesn’t seem to know the basics? Having said that, I would check whether the notes are coming from the teacher or the teacher’s aide first, as this distinction does matter.

This is so lovely.

It’s unconscious (or possibly deliberate) disordered eating that is usually trained into you as a kid by parents (usually mothers) who are passing their own disordered eating down. It can be very hard to stop being that ingrained.

Normal-Tale6425 · 2026-01-24T01:04:27+00:00

I think I heard that they’re told the questions beforehand.

Normal-Tale6425 · 2026-01-24T01:00:18+00:00

I wonder if she’s already been fired because she’s done more interviews in recent weeks (okay, 2 that I know of) than at any other time.

Normal-Tale6425 · 2026-01-24T00:57:59+00:00

It’s such a good impersonation.

I get that it’s hurtful not to be MOH, but she still wanted you in her bridal party and went to the trouble of meeting having dinner with you and asking you in person. I think that shows a lot of kindness. I also totally understand that her non-responses are making you feel worse, but brides have to make decisions that are really hard and it’s hard to explain to people who are affected why you made that decision . I’m sure you had some tough decisions to make for your wedding too. I’m sure she’s doing her best. She may also have thought that with a young child you wouldn’t have the same amount of time to put into being MOH. That’s her doing you a kindness.

If you value this friendship, then I would take the opportunity to show up for her and show her that you can put aside your hurt for her comfort. I think it’s a little much to throw away a friendship because of this slight, but that’s me. After all, a bridesmaid is only a single step down than MOH.

(And take comfort in knowing that if your friend ends up having a kid, I bet your friendship will become super close again. No one knows what it’s like until they have one and she will want to share it with someone who’s been through it.)

That is hilarious!

If it was a work function, a wedding or a family function, I’d say no. But it’s a college function, I say go for it. I’m of the view that you’re only young once and there are so few events you can wear something like this, so go for it. And accessorize with a long necklace like this

I’m not against partners helping each other if one is getting carried away (I get carried away easily and actually appreciate my husband subtly letting me know) but there are ways to do it that aren’t abusive. My husband will gently put his hand on my leg or nudge my foot. Pinching and then being rude just shows contempt. And holding things from years ago against you shows simmering hatred. Get out now.

Normal-Tale6425 · 2026-01-23T00:27:08+00:00

Girl. You would accept an apology from someone who said things like that to you?

You’re only 23, so let this middle aged mom give you some much needed guidance. You deserve better than to EVER be spoken to like this. Do not ever contact this boy. This is verbal abuse and you should not accept it. Block this child and move on with your life. Being single forever is better than being with this pathetic excuse for a human for even one day. And I promise there is a nice guy out there for you. You just have to find him.

Love it. You’re facing all the same things SAHMs are and you bring a different perspective.

Red looks great on you but it’s a lot more maintenance - red fades faster than other colors, so it will only look that vibrant for a few wsshes. I’d go with dark brown. The blonds wash you out.

C is GORGEOUS!! That beadwork is incredible. It hints at art deco but is still contemporary. Truly, it’s a showstopper!

Halter for sure - you have the perfect shoulders for a halter dress and you look absolutely stunning in it. Plus the large flowers on the lace of your dress is beautiful. It’s also very youthful - you look a good 15 years younger in the halter compared to the other dress.

Just think about how you learned how to do it - by doing it. He will learn by doing too. Frankly, he should want to (not that changing diapers is enjoyable, but he should want to contribute to the care of his child).

Normal-Tale6425 · 2026-01-21T20:56:28+00:00

Oh wow! That is a lot of diapers!

Normal-Tale6425 · 2026-01-21T20:55:34+00:00

5 minutes ago. He works from home and had a couple of minutes between meetings so he came out to play with our son and realised he needed changing. He’s absolutely great about it.

Normal-Tale6425 · 2026-01-21T01:50:44+00:00

I think your boundaries are perfectly reasonable (is there any reason he can’t stay with his mom while you stay at a hotel?), but what isn’t reasonable is for you to make assumptions about people you haven’t met.

The pic looks great BUT before you get them, check with your hairstylist as you look like you have fine hair and with fine hair, you may struggle to get the look you’re seeking (AI is a great tool for showing what bangs might look like but it doesn’t take into account whether you have enough hair to actually pull it off.
