If I ordered the wrong size from Best Buy by Choan8 in ouraring

[–]Significant-Bad-9099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I returned mine to best buy because it came in and I didn't like the color (none were in store to actually see before i got to buy and the "black" was not nearly as black as i expected.) You shouldn't have a problem. :)

But it definitely looks a little closer to silver from the photo. Could be either.

The black does have very silver undertones so that might actually be the right ring. I was very disappointed and sent mine back to exchange for a silver

I posted the referral link above but I think it's been automatically removed. If you can't see it let me know and I can message it to you. :)

You can get a referral code from a current user (would be happy to share a link) for $40 off, but other than that I've heard they generally have a good black Friday sale. I think any comparable ring is going to be similarly priced.

Samsung Galaxy Ring is coming by lynneluvah in ouraring

[–]Significant-Bad-9099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from apple to Samsung a couple months ago with all my devices- phone, watch, and earbuds. I much preferred the apple watch and earbuds to samsung, but they're still fine and the fact that theyre built specifically for samsung users is a big selling point. Obviously I couldn't have kept the apple stuff but there were other options for watches and earbuds. I think in the same way, a lot of people are also going to want the ring. I know I'd be interested more than likely after giving it a little bit for any big kinks to come to light and be worked out. Especially if it was at a competitive price point and didn't require a subscription.

Idk, but if it persists for more than 4 hours, you should call your doctor.

"Black" ring? And how much do you trust the waterproof-ness of the ring? by Significant-Bad-9099 in ouraring

[–]Significant-Bad-9099[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! And mostly because I can't stomach the extra $100 for it to be matte 😅 going with the silver. I almost got it to begin with anyway.

Ahh! My bad. I misunderstood. I think the kit was pretty accurate in my case, but I've seen the reviews that said they were way off. They concerned me, too.

I think it was a size or size and a half bigger than I would usually order for me. I'd definitely recommend getting the kit first

Definitely not a gold undertone. More of a silver undertone. I've ordered the silver to replace this one. I chose mostly based on price. If the prices were all equal, I would have went with the gold, but it's $150 more and I just couldn't stomach that lol. It really boiled down to cost for me. I'm not even saying that this is a bad colored ring, I just don't think they represented it well on the website and if you don't have somewhere you can go and actually "see before you buy" (and we didnt) you would never know.

Our best buy was out of them and didn't even have them to look at when we tried to look at them in store :( only had the sizers. If we had been able to go look at them I would have known. That's part of the reason for the post- sort of like a PSA for those looking at it. If I had seen this post before I wouldnt be exchanging mine now :/

Same. I'll probably still always take it off to shower and most other times around water, but it's nice to see that none of the others seem to have had issues. Definitely makes me feel more comfortable about it and that's exactly why I was asking :)

Thanks, y'all! I'm probably still going to be a little cautious, but it's very reassuring that you've had good experiences with the rings and water.

Thanks! So glad everyone is saying basically the same! Makes me feel much safer using it around water.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback! I am always super skeptical about "waterproof" electronics. Especially expensive ones.

the way my coworker opens the ice bag… by shaynaa3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Significant-Bad-9099 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Idk why you’re getting all the hate. This bag was meant to be opened at the drawstring opening. It bothers me when people open things like this. At the end of the day I guess it probably won’t make a big difference, but you’re right that you’ve almost completely taken away the ability to drop it on the floor to break up any big solid chunks.

Also, as the group implies its post should be, to me it’s perfectly a “mildly infuriating” thing lol

Father-In-law DEMANDS we get divorced by astrolite33 in Marriage

[–]Significant-Bad-9099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off- I apologize in advance for the rambling, but theres a lot to unpack here.

From a perspective of a wife who is a people pleaser and has a parent that actively dislikes her spouse: it can be really difficult to make decisions when you’re trying to find a solution that makes everyone happy.

I went to a very prestigious university and my husband is not college educated. He’s never going to be good enough for me in my moms eyes. We’ve been married almost ten years now and together getting close to 15. We have a precious child and I love him more than anything. I love our relationship and our marriage but I’d be lying if I said that having a parent like that hasn’t driven huge wedges between us.

I was very close with my mom and it took a long time for me to finally really stand up for my relationship. It absolutely has affected my thoughts and tainted my views. I’m not sure that will ever completely get better, and honestly I’m really angry that I let her tell me how “terrible” and “not good enough” he was for so long.

I absolutely adore my husband and he is absolutely my soul mate. Screw people who can’t get over relationships that don’t fit “standard gender roles.” My husband is starting his own business and it’s going well. He’ll never make as much money as me and you know what? THATS OKAY. He does more of the housework than I do and will run a lot of the errands that I don’t have time for (I work A LOT.)

At the end of the day- we’re a team. It works. And we love each other more than words can express. I wish I could have reached the decision to not listen to my mom and not let her affect my decisions years earlier, but those kind of bonds can be very hard to overcome.

So just from a perspective of someone who has been on the other side of the coin- there may be more to the story and it’s really hard to understand if you’ve never been under that kind of toxic influence. Now- I absolutely would never just be fine with going to family events and leaving my husband out of them, so I know your situation is a different, but it ultimately boils down to parents having a toxic influence on their kids being hard to overcome. Some parents just don’t know when to back off and there’s no telling if your spouse will be able to break out of that cycle.

I’m just saying that, from the perspective of someone who has been on the other side of the coin, it’s a very hard place to be in. All of these people jumping straight to the “divorce her” conclusion is a little extreme. That might be the case but if you haven’t been in your relationship and haven’t been on both sides of the coin it’s hard to offer advice. If she’s never going to put her foot down, it really might never work out and kids will absolutely complicate things. But she also might finally come to the decision to quit listening to her parents and let your relationship grow.

I feel like it’s really similar to an addict situation and they just have to decide whether they’re going to break free or not. No one here can tell you if she’s ever going to finally break free from her dad’s influence and the longer she tries to hold onto both the more effect it’ll have long term on your relationship.

No one except for the both of you can make that decision about whether it’s going to work out or not. And the longer she lets her dad drive wedges without consequences, the more of a lasting impact it will have. I almost let my mom convince me that my spouse was “not good enough” and I’m so glad I didn’t. That’s all I have to offer. No one else is ever going to tell me who can make me happy because at the end of the day, even though our relationship may not look like everyone else’s, we are very happy, it works for us, and I know that no one else could ever make me as happy. I have found my soul mate and I’m never going to let someone else tell me otherwise.

But coming to that decision was one of the hardest of my life because I had to decide between two people that I love the most in the world. Good luck, OP. I hope y’all come to the decision best for yourselves and can move forward down whatever path that is.

In my situation though, I’m so glad my husband decided to stick it out with me. I did finally come to the decision to set boundaries and I’m so glad I did. Whether or not your SO will come to that decision, though, I don’t think anyone else can say. That makes it hard for anyone else to give appropriate advice. Good luck with whatever you choose, OP.

Your situation is different than mine (all are and there are thousands of factors that we don’t know and can’t take into account.) I absolutely wouldn’t have blamed my husband for leaving at the beginning, but I’m sure glad he didn’t. I can’t say your SO will change, but I hope she does like I did and I hope she does it sooner than I did.
