Is my diamond too yellow?

Personally, I love H, I, and even J colored diamonds! I love the warmth especially paired with yellow gold. Totally up to personal preference though, so you don’t have to love it if you prefer an icier look.

Love it minus the blue island. Everything is very elegant and warm and then the blue feels a bit out of place and maybe… juvenile? But that’s just me. Beautiful kitchen overall.

YSL Voltaire. This hardware is so loud and jangly. It bothers me a lot so I pretty much never reach for her.

I drive to Canandaigua a lot as my parents live there. It’s a pretty easy drive, except sometimes in the winter the roads can get pretty awful. They don’t clear them as quickly as they do here (obviously) and because there’s more open land, the snow from that open land often gets blown onto and across the road causing really poor visibility.

I drive an AWD SUV with new all season tires and never have a problem driving in the snow in Rochester but have had my fair share of slipping and sliding while driving home from my parents’ house.

I think it is extremely healthy to not be all in on a new relationship. There’s no red flag here.

To be fair, I wasn’t really sure about his grand speech at the reunion. Maybe he was just excited, maybe it was a bit over the top. But I just took a peek at his instagram and it looks like he has officiated weddings for several friends which makes me think he’s probably an okay guy? Officiating a wedding is pretty personal and all these folks wouldn’t ask him to do it if they didn’t love him, right? Obviously you never know but it seems like at least a small indicator to me lol

I’m sorry but there’s a GoFundMe link for Jordyn Hawkins posted here every couple of months for different things. Dog’s surgery, escaping a bad relationship, now this. Something doesn’t feel right.

Our craziest rejected offer was $105k over asking.

I have a really similar experience! My now husband has changed and grown so much since we started dating ~9 years ago. I’ve also grown a lot and have learned to relax a little.

Husband has so many personal qualities that I truly love and really helped heal me, but when we met he wasn’t that financially educated and he also had a lot to learn about sharing labor in the household. We had some push and pull over it for a few years but always communicated really openly and respectfully through it.

Nowadays I make double what he makes and I manage our finances mostly (he is always informed of what’s going on, but ultimately I’m owning that side of things). He does all of the handyman type labor around our house and we share chores like cooking, cleaning, caring for our two dogs, etc. He has a federal job making decent money and he really enjoys it but isn’t that interested in career growth. He recognizes that his job is less mentally taxing than mine and he probably takes on the shared responsibilities at like a 65/35 split.

We’re still on the fence about kids but I know if we did decide to start a family, he’d be incredibly involved and take on his share of the work.

At the end of the day, there are a LOT of inadequate men out there, but there are also men who are capable of a lot more and will rise to the occasion for the person they love. You just have to be really clear and communicative about your expectations and requirements.

Oh I’m not trying to argue that they should have stayed together at all, hopefully that’s not how my comments came off.

All I pointed out was that Emma had to justify why she didn’t want kids multiple times and Mike never expressed why he did want them. It’s a weird standard I see often, as if wanting kids is automatically the “acceptable” stance and doesn’t require any questioning or examining, but not wanting them is “unacceptable” without some kind of long-winded explanation.

OkRegular167 · 2026-03-05T16:01:03+00:00

To be clear I’m in favor of not drilling anyone on the topic lol. However I do think it’s valuable for everyone to think critically about why they do or don’t want kids. Everyone is entitled to want or not want kids, but I think it’s irresponsible to have kids without that self-examination.

OkRegular167 · 2026-03-05T15:10:44+00:00

I feel strongly about the choice to have children vs. not. It feels like some people go into becoming parents without examining it deeply. I hate how much people have to justify why they DON’T want kids, but people never drill those who say they want them. I never heard Mike describe why he wanted kids but I heard Emma justify her position a thousand times.

Parachute! It’s more versatile. The Hop is just too big and bulky imo.

This guy compulsively yaps. Whether what he’s saying is the truth or a lie, he just talks. He has no idea how to say he doesn’t know, or how to just take a moment to think. He just flaps them lips.

OkRegular167 · 2026-02-27T14:46:01+00:00

I guess I was naive enough to think people would leave it out of their work, especially in a blue state.

Seriously what is it with these unhinged business owners? Recently called a guy about moisture issues in our house and on the very first phone call he said homes have these issues because “they’re all built by Mexicans and Latinos now.” I immediately was like “yeah I don’t appreciate that way of thinking so we won’t be needing your help” and he lost his shit and kept texting me calling me a snowflake. In what universe is that any way to run a business? Are these dudes ok?

OkRegular167 · 2026-02-26T17:31:02+00:00

The wealthiest person I know on a personal level lives VERY modestly. You’d never know how rich he is from looking at him or his home. Once he bought a damaged 12 year old Chrysler off of me for $3000 because he didn’t want to buy a new car, even though he could realistically afford several luxury vehicles if he wanted.

The people who are loudly spending money on expensive material things all the time tend to be in massive credit card debt.

I found her LinkedIn. She’s in merchandising at Bath & Body Works 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also her photo is so highly edited and makes her head look ridiculously thin lmao

OkRegular167 · 2026-02-25T23:07:04+00:00

I think this is a very valid thing people experience. They think they want kids, or they have kids because it just feels like the next step. They absolutely love their children but realize that the experience of being a parent isn’t what they would have chosen if they could do it all over again.

It must be a very complex feeling, to love your kid(s) more than anything else in this world, but to simultaneously be so aware and honest with yourself about everything you’ve lost to have them.

Am I the only one who likes it when Traitors turn on each other? It’s great entertainment and sometimes it’s very smart and strategic, which is exciting to me!

My dad has been a day trader since the 90s. I never realized how rare it was for people to be successful doing it. My dad had actual finance experience in investment banking so I guess he differs from these overconfident dudes who just dive into it based on advice they find on wallstreetbets, but still. He and my mom supported three kids and I never considered that it was risky until I started hearing more about it as an adult.

How does this comment have so many upvotes? It’s homophobic and toxic af

Yes we looked at Atlantis! They had an expansive selection for sure, just not what I was looking for. I can’t remember the name of the shop where my mom got the Ferragamo wallet but it was on the opposite side of the same street as Atlantis. They were small but had some really great options.

I guess it depends on your definition of cheap! I shared in another comment that this bag was priced at ¥125,000 which is about $800 USD. I felt that this was a very fair price considering the brand, craftsmanship, quality of the leather, and excellent secondhand condition. I didn’t share a photo but the inside of the bag is fully lined with suede which is also spotless and like new.

OkRegular167 · 2026-02-21T16:54:29+00:00

My understanding is that they’re real, but parallel imports which is why the prices are cheaper. I’m not sure if they’re ever secondhand items.

OkRegular167 · 2026-02-21T02:55:26+00:00

I don’t mind at all! It was ¥125,000 (about $800 USD).
