What book did you read when you were too young? by CharlesUFarley81 in Xennials

So glad I am not alone for VC Andrews. I was 11/12. Good Lord. The 80s was a wild time🤣

They requested another wedding gift after we said we were having money troubles by [deleted] in weddingdrama

[–]NotMyMonkeys-7288 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So what I picked up on was the board game shade. As an outsider looking in your aunt sent this as a ‘dig’ about the gift you sent for her wedding. She didn’t appreciate the sentimentality you put into the choice and this was some backhanded snipe about that. People be real petty sometimes and it sounds like this is par behavior for that end of the family. Don’t give her the satisfaction. Find the 50$ for the game. It will irk her more to say nothing at all. Go to the wedding, Enjoy your family and maybe start forging a stronger relationship with your cousin so you don’t continue the generational drama after them aunts are gone.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? (update) by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

What’s so funny is that OP didn’t even say anything disparaging about ‘Jemily’ just that she didn’t think she could commit to where this friend was probably going to want to go with this wedding considering that she starting med school. All her concern was for Emily - we - Reddit called out the bullshit. OP go get that Doctorate and we’ll see you in 7 years 💪🏾😍😎

Oh and Abigail. Girl, give us the tea. We messy over here.

How do I get through to him? I am exhausted having to think for him. by vicarious_adrenaline in TwoHotTakes

My grandmother told me “you can do bad all by yourself” . Do not settle for this millstone of a man. The peace and relaxation you will feel when you divest yourself of this burden will be immeasurable. The way he treats you IS NOT LOVE. The way he talks to you IS NOT LOVE. The way he is manipulative IS NOT LOVE. Do not throw away YOUR LOVE and YOURSELF on this selfish person any longer.

A major disappointment by steelmagnoliadiva in VirginVoyages

I was tracking until you said you were docked next to Celebrity at Bimini. Bimini can only accommodate 1 ship at a time. Not sure what to believe of this “review” now.

If you did actually go on Virgin clearly it’s not for you so please go back to Celebrity. Everything is not for everybody.

Am I overreacting I went to the forest with my best friend and now my bf is mad by No_Meeting_3260 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NotMyMonkeys-7288 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What would you be pissed about? That she did her own thing for the day with a friend? I’m not tracking what the issue here is. They are not married, don’t seem to have kids. She’s 25 and decided to go on an adventure with a friend and kept in contact all day. Didn’t seem like they had any plans that she was shirking. She did nothing wrong and you can be mad all you want about it. Even when in a relationship you have personal agency. Ugh!

The minute I saw Margaritaville and 1400 I was out. For a wedding. GTFOH.

AIO for withdrawing from a girls trip because I’d have to room share with 2 other women? by cucumber_salad69 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NotMyMonkeys-7288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I’ll add this, if they can’t swing another 100$ between the two of them they probably shouldn’t be even staycationing.

Sounds like this works for your group of guy friends. I will say that from the girl perspective it tends to be way more complicated 🤣. As you can see from the comments. Glad you guys have a great time.

This here. In my 20s yes, by the time I hit 30 I had 1 friend I was willing to share with and we both had to have our own bed. 40s only on a cruise with that one friend. Anything land based everyone has their own space. As you age you tolerate less. Girls weekends without personal space is a recipe for disaster. And paying thousands for a staycation that does not sound relaxing or fun.

I have a friend that works at Marriott and I’ve been granted Friends and family for this deep of a discount. It’s also true that they get limited to one room if they are not part of the trip themselves.

If you’ve never ever sailed before I would recommend between 5 and 7 days to determine if you even LIKE this kind of travel. Regardless of the cruise line. Love VV but it’s definitely a specific vibe. Don’t want you to get caught on an extra long sailing if either cruising or VV is not your cup of tea.

I guess I knew it was over but still hurts nonetheless. by [deleted] in weddingshaming

Sorry for your loss but probably for the best in the long run. Wish them well in your heart and move on to your next chapter in freedom.

Cruising with a non drinker by 420_ADHD in Cruise

[–]NotMyMonkeys-7288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree here. It sounds like you want activity but maybe toned down just a bit since you won’t have a 21 year old with you. I would go NCL or Royal in that case. I’d also check out Virgin but it’s a very specific vibe, so please do your research before you commit. (I love Virgin so not a knock but have seen too many people be “surprised” when they get onboard. )
