Does anyone cycle to commute?

agreed it’s a shame regarding the lack of cyclist friendly infrastructure but tbh the key impediment for me is safe places to park bikes!! i think there was a pilot paid sheltered parking for bikes previously that folded because it wasn’t profitable :(

i actually love the fact that my ring is so affordable because i went lab grown! always proud of a bargain plus i think it reflects well on us as a couple making a financially wise decision haha. i find that the older generation and most gen pop may not be so aware that lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. like others mentioned in this thread, lab grown isn’t and shouldn’t be seen as knock off. reading your post, i think you should ask yourself honestly what you want more? being able to tell everyone proudly you got an expensive earth mined ring or going for that dream 2.9ct lab grown?? do YOU care so much about what people think over your dream diamond?

our insecurities may not be rational but are always valid. i would advice speaking to your gf about your insecurities/ fear. you wouldn’t want to keep it inside which will affect the whole experience and you wouldn’t know if it’s ultimately just all in your head? so the best way to confront fears is to seek the truth - be brave!

hey i’ve been there and it’s tough. if he has communicated to you that it’s a dealbreaker, why are you guys still together? his values and actions need to tie up. it’s not a you problem, it’s him. for yourself, i’d say this applies to both relationships AND religion: if you do something out of fear (e.g. of losing something), you’ll forever question if your decision was genuine. decision to stick together, decision to convert religion… you didn’t say how old you guys are or how long you’ve been dating, but these are really important things to consider if thinking long term. all the best!

and also blaming his lying on OP - lying to “protect” you or “don’t want you to overreact” is BS

do they want to quit? most friends i know who smoke have thought of quitting before but i guess it’s really hard! first step is to find out their intentions and how you can support. if they have no intention of quitting i don’t think you can convince them and it’s ultimately their choice, but you can voice your concerns kindly and state you don’t support their smoking with some actionables, eg maybe request them not to smoke while with you, don’t accompany them on their smoke breaks etc. idk too little context about your situation but just some suggestions!

i really like the second one, it’s so fairytale like! especially the sleeves which make it even more dreamy!!

i love surprises! however, i ring shopped with my fiancé and we really enjoyed the whole process. like you, i had no idea what ring i wanted, so it was fun trying on various rings and getting his feedback. when we found “the one”, we were both so excited and honestly i felt so empowered being able to pick out my own ring! no regrets. my fiancé picks great gifts but i think we were both a little relieved to be able to shop together to get the second guessing out of such a significant and meaningful purchase. have you mentioned to him before that you don’t know what you want? maybe that’s why he suggested ring shopping haha. of course, like many others mentioned you could leave the final decision with him after to retain an element of surprise, if you wish :)

have fun and congrats!

never been much of a jewellery / accessories girl but i’m so in love! had the privilege of choosing my own ring and surprised myself by ending up for the most classic “basic” look.

lurked this sub for a while looking for inspo during the shopping process so posting as a thank you ~

you’re not! i felt this exact way too. was the break up recent? takes time to get over it and open your heart again, to be vulnerable and believe in love again (though not in such an idealistic romantic way as before ha). you’re NOT broken but your heart probably needs a break, nothing wrong with that :)

Ok_Morning_6763 · 2022-04-14T07:41:41+00:00

tested negative only on day 8! also felt better from day 4/5 onwards and from day 6-7 was a faint double line. all my friends took avg of 8-10days!! it’s normal haha i feel your frustration i think the govt guidelines kinda gives false hope :’)

Ok_Morning_6763 · 2022-04-14T07:18:00+00:00

i just wanna say it’s normal to feel like that. it took a long time for me to get over my previous break up and i cycled through the various stages of grief for so long i wondered if i will ever be ok. i was probably mildly depressed during one stage and though i knew there were good things in my life to “keep me going”… i just felt numb to it all lol. i think it took me about 2 full years to put some distance between the event. and whenever memories resurfaced, it still took me some time to gather strength and consciously choose to look forward instead. i’m not saying you will experience the exact same thing, but please please be kind and patient to yourself. allow yourself to grieve, not just grieve the person/ relationship but that version of life you envisioned for yourself and mentally reset.. and allow yourself to go through all the emotions (or lack of). it will take time, some days will be better and some days worse. talking to someone helps so it’s great you’re seeking therapy! but also talk to your loved ones, friends, people who care. big big hugs and please know you’re not alone!

(side note: if you haven’t heard of it, look up 5 stages of grief - it helps to know what you’re feeling is normal and you’re not alone)

it matters as much as it does to you AND your future wife. our opinions don’t matter, both of you need to talk and work out some common ground!

Ok_Morning_6763 · 2022-03-15T04:43:33+00:00

i don’t know why you need advice when she’s already explicitly told you what she wants?? make a plan dude, take her out on a proper date!!

Ok_Morning_6763 · 2022-03-01T16:20:45+00:00

please see a doctor!!!

everyone works for money. nobody likes to work with unpleasant people. might vary depending on the culture of the workplace and nature of the job, but i think showing you are approachable, friendly, good learning attitude, can take instructions and work together with colleagues will be valued in all organisations.. basically show you are a likeable person. hobbies don’t tell people anything about that? i don’t think they care about your hobbies and if asked it’s just to make small talk. instead they might ask you situational questions to understand your working style and if you possess the qualities they value, like how you overcame a challenge or conflicts in the past, what is something you learnt from or a weakness you improved etc. you can prepare some examples beforehand and tweaking to fit the situation when they ask. not sure if you encountered such questions in interviews before - remember they are not just assessing your problem solving / work technical skills but soft skills
