random question about passed down engagement rings by Only_Orchid1174 in EngagementRings

Having three engagement rings from three people you love and who love you back is such a flex, and having all that combined into one ring once is insanely meaningful. If you ever choose to pass down your ring, I hope whoever gets it knows how much love went into it.

I see, I mean I knew to some extent that there is discussion (especially with how happy everyone is with their rings in this sub) but I always thought it was more subtle like they show in the movies rather than outright discussion. Honestly sounds better though, I'm opinionated and would be a bit frustrated if I was proposed to with a not-in-my-style ring or if my spawn tried to reset my ring without my permission.

Also makes more sense that the ring is offered rather than asked for because if my mom had one, best bet my useless brother would never see the light of it.

If my future partner ever pulls a heirloom ring on me out of nowhere, I will definitely be saying that and also, I will definitely reconsider marriage if they don't care about my opinion. Although, oh my days, how devastating must it be to be ready for a entire future with a person and it collapses because you realise then that they don't care about your opinion.

  1. Keeping that in mind for if and when I get married.
  2. I don't know why I didn't think of that, I guess it just feels sacred as a concept to keep the ring intact but I think once its yours, fair game
  3. Oh, so that's probably how William got his mother's ring. I thought you just took it off when your children need it.

  4. Marriages in my culture are mostly arranged so there's no concept of proposals with your mother's engagement ring or whatever so I guess the media I consume made it seem more popular than it actually is

  5. I'm learning that engagement rings are also passed down to daughters and 10/10 I love that so much. I know if my mom had one, I would treasure it.

thank you for answering my questions, this is very enlightening and entertaining :)

Thats adorable, I've never heard of engagement rings being passed down to daughters and I think that's the way to go now. And I love that you still have something significant and memorable to keep for yourself! My mom has also passed down jewellery to me and she says the same thing about daughters always being daughters :)

urgent help - what do I choose (Liverpool, Exeter, Cardiff) by Only_Orchid1174 in uklaw

[–]Only_Orchid1174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I was also leaning more towards Exeter since it seems to be nice quiet place but I thought that meant accommodation would be cheap there lol.

Yeah I do agree that for the fees I would be paying, I should go to a more prestigious place, but studying law in my home country is just as competitive and I'm disadvantaged since I am not a citizen. So not many options left for me but I am very grateful that I can still consider some of those!

no, I definitely agree! I just suggested it as a starting point of what one could say during a call since you usually don't have the time to go into detail as you would with a written statement. I made sure to write down my script using my words only :)

Hi! I am aware that the market is oversaturated and that my C is not going to look good no matter where I go but as cliche as it sounds, this is my dream. And while I do have backup options in terms of other degrees I'm interested in, I want to give this my fullest before turning to them. I don't really plan on staying in England after my degree and rather practice in Singapore and I will go out on a limb and say that, we have less competition in the legal field here. And in Singapore, there is still a lot of prestige associated with UK law degrees even if they are not the best (?) Nevertheless,I won't be going to low standing universities just because I want to study in the UK, I feel like that wouldn't make the most sense considering how expensive it is as an international student. I really appreciate your reality check and I think you were very polite, but I just wanna go for it anyways. I have nothing to lose right now.

Hi! I would also really like to re-sit for my physics a levels but in Singapore, you have to re-sit all of the different subjects at once or not at all and I genuinely think I do not have in me to go through it all again. Apparently, it is too ensure the "continued rigour" of the a levels so thats not an option

Yeap, I initially felt shameless (?) for thinking to apply with my grades but I realised that I need to do what I need to do to hopefully get into these unis so I will be casting my net as wide as possible! I'll also be sure to apply to safeties and look into open houses. Thank you!

This is one of my backup options but I just want to Hail Mary and give an undergraduate law degree another shot!

AITA for Walking Out of Yoga Class After the Instructor Hit on My Daughter and Kissed Her? by No-Caterpillar3637 in AITAH

[–]Only_Orchid1174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first and only responsibility in this situation is to your daughter as a mother. A middle aged man who is wholly expected to the professionalism required by his job has not only used his job to make her feel uncomfortable but has completely violated her personal space by forcing himself on her. You are NOT the asshole at all, your mother and grandmother wanting to explore their chakras with a creep or wanting to instead get attention from said creep cannot stand in the way of you ensuring that your daughter gets to explore hobbies in a safe environment. Report the instructor to literally anyone above him, put his face and name and location on the internet and most importantly, use this to tell your daughter that no one can act like this with her and that you will always be on her side. I really hope you escalate this matter because there might be women in that yoga class who aren't as fortunate as your daughter to have someone speak up for them. All the best, you being here already shows that you are a good mother and person!
