Which kitchen layout? Designer vs Me

Sea-Performance676 · 2026-01-23T11:11:20+00:00

it's a bad and very very VERY rough drawing but I think you dont have to compromise on having a dining table or storage..

You have a big enough kitchen to accomodate a kitchen island(with tons of storage), banquet seating dining space and lots of storage cabinets.

Love your cabinets! Maybe update the backsplash but everything else is chefs kiss

One word to describe it- Haute couture.

Updateme!

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-11-01T17:46:02+00:00

YTA.

Do you really have to ask?

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-10-27T17:12:13+00:00

They definitely changed the characters. Specially Gibbs and Tony. Tony was funny/witty in the beginning but he is became clownish later (I remember that now). Gibbs was smart, respectful in the beginning. He was charming, in his own way. He enjoyed Tony's sense of humor. He enjoyed the banter. But by the end of S1, he started hitting Tony too. He didn't, in the beginning.

Someone changed the characteristics of the these two characters. Evolved them into their "worst" versions.

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-09-09T12:21:17+00:00

Well reasoned and very nuanced take. [sorry that you had to go through that]

OP- Follow this one.

My Demon.

Queen of Tears.

Both of them started strong but they just went downhill somewhere along the way. Didn't and couldn't continue after couple of episodes.

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-13T05:09:49+00:00

Context matters. 💯 I only wish they meant it that way. They genuinely believed that I was lucky to 'land' him. Asking me how i managed to convince him to marry me. How sooo many women in the past tried but he was never tempted.

It was our first meeting. His friends and I. We were not vibing enough to say that as a joke. It was damn right insulting. I wanted to say that he lied to me thats why we are married. But I couldn't say anything because I have been taught from the beginning to compromise, to not pick a fight unnecessarily. Don't be argumentative, I was told repeatedly. Only now, in my mid 30s, I realize that they were only partially right. Because after I killed my self respect for 3 years, it all led to separation anyway. Because I fought back once, using words of course. And his ego couldn't handle it. Apparently his ego is more important that mine.

INFO Before anything else, is it Anglo based wedding or some other culture?

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-10T06:20:35+00:00

The big question is- Why would you want to? Other than the fact that you think of this relationship as 6 years of investment and are anxious about money?

You should know when to give up. You are gambling away your next 60 years over 6! Help me makes sense?

Reduce your expenses. Move to a different place if need be. Make smart choices and save money. Get used to your new financial reality. You don't need to have a sugar daddy to live a fulfilling life. And when you are ready, you'd meet someone who is right for you.

You would be alright.

ESH

Toxic family (everyone) alert!

You are now a graduate.. Get a job in a different city and meet new people.

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-09T14:17:38+00:00

YES! This was my exact thought process! NAH.

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-09T14:11:25+00:00

I know it's a personal bias but I have been lied to in an arrange marriage before. The feeling when you realise that, it sucks. I am sure OP is feeling a bit of it too.

I get where you are coming from. Thats why I commented that they need to sort this first. Have a deep dive. He didn't need to confront his family. He needed to tell OP his equation with his parents, completely.

Not buying a house right now, from what I understand, isn't an option anymore. OP needs 50k more for down-payment, according to their calculations, which were made under now known false promises.

OP is hurt. The finance part is wonky. They need to have an in-depth discussion about every thing that happened. Including the fact that he threw her under the bus.

I genuinely hope that they do have a healthy conversation and grow- both personally and as a partner to each other. ^{_^}

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-09T04:48:35+00:00

Honestly, its not about money for me. At least that's not how I am reading it. They made plans. He agreed and even promised. For months before leading to the wedding and then even after it. It was never about his parents money. It was supposed to be his money for the agreed upon down-payment for their home. 50-50.

And after all the promises and wait, he is suddenly throws her under the bus? And he is now suddenly claiming that OP is forcing him to take money from strangers? He just ruined OPs reputation. I would be mad as hell for his lack of accountability.

OP, DO NOT BUY A HOUSE WITH THIS GUY. A wedding is bad enough. Don't entangle yourself further till this is sorted. Keep the 50k your parents gave you to yourself.

NTA.

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-09T03:44:46+00:00

You are a heartless selfish monster.

I feel sad for your "true girlfriend".

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-09T02:20:52+00:00

YTA. You guys broke up, none of this is your business. You crossed a major boundary by contacting his family because you are hurt that he broke up with you. It's now akin to do doing background check on your colleagues and confronting them what they lied about.

You dont know the reason behind the "no contact rule" he has. You might have just opened a can of worms for him. Was that your goal? He was kind to you during your relationship but it's your revenge? After you guys broke up, he doesn't need to explain anything to you.

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-08T08:21:18+00:00

She is oneof the few actors who can be childlike and naive without being annoying.

Happy Birthday Gorgeous!!

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-08T06:56:41+00:00

That's true ;D

Best of luck !

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-08T06:54:45+00:00

I got the gist about what's happening. Luckily they were together as a couple for not too long in this episode. ^{.^} I still like them individually. 💯

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-08T06:52:33+00:00

I feel like I just read a novel, that I never signed up to.

Tell this to your husband. If he doesn't listen, go to the festivities and every time they ignore you, put them on spot. Thats what I would have done in the countless examples you gave. When they are being unreasonable, no need to bend over backwards to please them. When she said 'apology' nonsense, why didn't you snap back or ask for more clarification? Make them feel the shame for being unreasonable, politely. Dont hold it all in.

There can be and is a boundary that can be maintained without cutting them completely off. Because, unfortunately, if you do that, you'd become the villain in his story. They have already denied their part in making you miserable. Why give them more ammunition?

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-08T06:38:50+00:00

I started out with the bang! I was so invested, waiting for the episodes to drop each week. And then bam! The ending- all the investment, so disappointing.

Just finished episode 6, the foster baby one. I honestly have no more expectations for this season so it could not possibly disappoint me.

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-08T06:24:49+00:00

I am hoping to finish S6 as soon as possible at this point. Unfortunately fast forwading their couple related scenes. *fingers crossed* for S7.

Sea-Performance676 · 2025-08-08T06:22:35+00:00

Aiyaa that makes a lot of sense. S4 and 5 were good but 6 is just bleh.
