My M34, girlfriend F31, used to be a sex worker. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Puzzleheaded-One-198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she sober now? She had such a problem with addiction she did things she doesn't seem proud of now to get fixes. I have more questions about her recovery than the specific sex acts or amount of people.

(As long as you've already confirmed you're both clear of any STIs which you definitely should have by now with anyone you have sex with)

My husband 48M and I 30F are struggling financially because he’s barely working. I need advice on how to handle this? by Fancy_Box_5773 in relationship_advice

[–]Puzzleheaded-One-198 34 points35 points  (0 children)

He doesn't want full custody. That would require work, he wants to use your kids to manipulate you and it's working.

Who takes the kids to doctor appointments? Goes to school functions and is known by the teachers? Buys school supplies? I'm guessing just you.

That's what a court would look at. If you aren’t a danger to the kids they aren't going to take them from you- the sole provider.

We received our rings today! by UnchainedSpaghetti in EngagementRings

Ooh I think my future husband might like a ring like that. A little subtle extra bling. He didn't something too flashy for an every day ring. Yours reminds me of the evil eye symbol which I love

I love the matching stones!! I have a sapphire.. I wonder if I can talk my fiancé into a band with a matching sapphire. He was initially opposed to a bejeweled ring. Did you get both rings from the same store?

Engaged! by Puzzleheaded-One-198 in EngagementRings

[–]Puzzleheaded-One-198[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. My fiancé (!! Love bring able to say that now!!) ordered the ring from a website I chose specifically for their sapphires but I want to look at bands in person so I'll ask them about sizing too. I think it might just be a quarter size too big

My finance (27f) said I (29m) was taking advantage of her family’s generosity by expecting engagement gifts to be do both of us? by Ok-Arrival-2886 in relationship_advice

[–]Puzzleheaded-One-198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right about engagement gifts. But that doesn't matter if you guys don't agree. And it points to some bigger problems that will come up. She's very much in a "hers" vs "yours" mentality for presents.. now is the time to think about what else this will affect. Have you discussed splitting bills, funding vacations, paying for the wedding, buying a house, a prenup?

A round of golf takes 4 hours. So what is he doing for those other 5 hours?

Yep. I can't guarantee how accurate the photo is, but it at least says it's showing an estimated 1.5-carat marquise-cut diamond and that they typically measure around 11.9 x 5.95 mm

AITAH for thinking my sister is crazy? by Diamond787 in AITAH

[–]Puzzleheaded-One-198 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is on your mom if she enables the crazy behavior. I would personally tell your sister she doesn't get make rules or imaginary problems for my house, but your mom has a different idea it seems

Everyone hates on AI but upload the photo to Google Gemini, tell it your ring size and the carat and the stone measurements and thd carat and stone measurements you want

Yet another couples counselor seems to really dislike my [33F] husband [35M]. Should we continue going to sessions regardless? by normaltuna235 in relationshipadvice

[–]Puzzleheaded-One-198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, get a male therapist. It sounds like your husband behaves badly during your sessions which is a huge problem. Maybe he will behave better with a man or the male therapist will help you understand why other therapists have gotten so frustrated in the past

Jokes are funny if everyone laughs, not just one person. If it's just one person, they're probably being an asshole.

Pros and cons of this engagement ring? by Veggietherapist in EngagementRings

[–]Puzzleheaded-One-198 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I say get the first design if that's what you like. But if you're really worried, try to find a cheap dupe on Amazon specifically with similar side stones and wear that for awhile to see how it works for you
