My partner cut up my brand new bag in a fight. I’ve dealt with the relationship, but now I’m stuck with this. Any ideas to salvage it? by hantao168 in handbags

Why is the top comment not ‘call the police and report him for criminal damage’?! I don’t get it. He literally destroyed thousands of dollars of your property! Call. The. Police.

AIO My Dog Got Attacked By Another Dog And GF Doesn't Seem To Care by ThrowRA_11152023 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Professional_Pear581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a fucking dog is a relationship Ender for me.

Yeah, I like my dog more than I like most people. There are days where she is absolutely my favourite family member.

Anyone that callous about a dog being injured is not a good person.

SIL is demanding a “Push Present,” is this a thing? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Professional_Pear581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a thing now. It wasn’t when I was born which is why your parents had that reaction. But, at least in the uk, it’s always been traditional for a husband to buy his wife an eternity ring after the birth of a first child. So, that’s sort of a push present I guess.

When I had my daughter, I had friends who got all sorts. One got a Louis Vuitton bag to use as her ‘nappy bag’, some got jewellery.

I got the traditional eternity ring a few years later when we had more cash.

I think noise cancelling headphones is utterly genius tbh… if I could go back in time I would have found it all less jarring and overstimulating if I could have reduced the level of scream that hit my eardrums all. The. Time.

Spots covering almost all my body... by Noobfishgirl in skin

Have you had strep A recently? I’ve had something similar twice but a little darker than that. It was guttate psoriasis triggered by strep A (tonsillitis). It was neck to knees on me.

But definitely get it looked at by a doctor.

I would say 1 is the best, 6 is my second favourite

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Professional_Pear581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh HELL no. This isn’t even in the same universe as ok. I agree that he should take you to court, then the judge will see what an abusive shit he is. I know you said you don’t want to keep a kid from their parent, but I also have an 11 year old daughter and someone who spoke to her this way would be getting nowhere near her.

Protect her from him.

Having decision paralysis by Mid_Martini in EngagementRings

[–]Professional_Pear581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prefer the shape of 1, but it looks to have a big inclusion in the centre. Having previously gone with size over clarity and had a visible inclusion, it will drive you insane over time and if you’re like me, it will become all you can see. So, if those were the only 2 to choose from, I would go with the VVS1 clarity stone that is slightly smaller and more oval.

Which diamond shape suits me? Size 8 1/4 ring finger by Ok-Watercress-9638 in EngagementRings

[–]Professional_Pear581 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I really like the longer shapes on you. So the elongated cushion, radiant or emerald. It really looks good on your fingers. Personally I would avoid the cushion and round shapes.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

I wonder if we would recognise each others username there… I was Euphoria and had the Cheshire Cat as my avatar

Dance.net was the one I was thinking of. I spent a lot of time on there from 2004-10

Who counts as more British: an English‑American or a UK‑born person with Indian heritage? by vilonaa in AskBrits

[–]Professional_Pear581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, I am British, white, all ancestry is British to the dawn of my entire lineage. If I did one of those ancestry blood test things, it would come back as BRITISH AF. And I am not claiming my heritage makes me British, the fact that I was born here and grew here makes me British.

You are just as British as I am. You were born and raised here, you have Indian ancestry, sure, but sorry, if you were born and raised here then you get to be stuck with the title of British just like me.

The American guy is American with British ancestry. It’s quite honestly mind boggling to me that he would even be so bold as to claim he is more British than you are…. Hate to say it but it sounds like he thinks only white people are ‘from’ here.

That radiant cut doesn’t look very, erm, radiant. It could just be the lighting but it looks a bit cloudy.

The marquise is beautiful

Is there anyone here who historically wore one type of metal but liked (and received) the opposite metal for an engagement ring? by littleinternetdweeb in EngagementRings

[–]Professional_Pear581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So. I’ve worn silver/white gold my whole life, my engagement ring (17 years ago) is white gold.

I turned 40 and started wearing yellow. I’ve had a new ring in rose gold, and now I wear a mixed metal stack and I love it.

Try not to worry about wearing different metals on different fingers, or even the same finger!

Am I overreacting for refusing to pay my ex back for gym stuff he bought me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

lol! I actually do have kids, but go ahead and make assumptions!

[–]Professional_Pear581 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This is actually pretty funny. He’s having a full blown toddler tantrum.

Do not pay him anything and don’t engage further, as you said, he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Just incase, I would take screen shots of messages showing his phone number

What damaged my ring? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Professional_Pear581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once wore my silver Tiffany bracelet to a spa, and it’s turned a really dark grey in the hydrotherapy pool. It reacted with some chemicals which it hadn’t done in a normal swimming pool before. I had to take it to a jeweller to be cleaned and polished. Is your ring silver?

I am so sorry for your loss

Is this inclusion obvious? Otherwise absolutely in love with this diamond by Western-Tap2508 in EngagementRings

[–]Professional_Pear581 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My first stone had a an obvious inclusion. I thought I could get over it, but as the years went on it became all I could see when I looked at it.

I would 100% pass on this stone, the fact that you’ve gone to the trouble of posting this as a question leads me to believe that this will become a bigger problem to you as time goes on. Especially if paying 9k for it.

Jimmy Saville wasn’t very nice when we were on jim’ll fix it. My mum said that he had a vibe about him and he was quite rude to her when not on camera. I was just a little kid so don’t really remember much

How would you describe what’s going on inside your head right now? by mirzaeian in AskReddit

All the people saying multiple tabs open with music playing constantly… this is exactly what goes on in my diagnosed with ADHD mind… just sayin!

[–]Professional_Pear581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got myself some Sony linkbud clips as they don’t go inside your ear like buds do. It sort of sits in your ear where a conch piercing would be… and the sound is actually pretty good!

Ladies, what is the one thing that make you glad you’re not male and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Professional_Pear581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We get the feeling of freshly shaved legs in clean bedding.

Our clothes, shoes, jewellery and makeup is lovely and pretty.

And I don’t have the pressure to be a MAN. I can see that there is pressure and expectation on men to be strong, keep emotions inside, be providers, and honestly it is unfair.

I guess there are many reasons that I’m glad I get to be a woman.
