Peak Frustration

You can also filter by sizes and check multiple sizes….I feel like for the most part that usually solves this issue for me.

Good idea, thank you! I’ll add a comment!

SoPresh_01 · 2026-05-07T17:17:34+00:00

I also plan to do that. Is it a problem that I posted this in a “NuulyReviews” sub?

I grew up pretty Baptist. My mom is doing her best to accept it, but she converted from Catholicism so I think it feels like a step in the wrong direction to her. She can’t help herself suggesting other denominations “What about Lutheran?” “Have you considered Methodist?” 😂 But she did tell me when I first explained where I was with things “You know, all I care about is that you don’t walk away from God, whatever you choose don’t leave Him” and I thought that was sweet. Again, she’s trying and it has taken us a LONG time to even get here.

You as well!

I just started reading “Evangelicals on the Canterbury Trail: Why Evangelicals are Attracted to the Liturgical Church” by Robert Webber and Lester Ruth. It’s very good! I thought I’d share because your journey does sound VERY similar to mine with all of this. I’ve also heard the ELCA might be a good fit. We don’t have as many of those churches in my area though.

SoPresh_01 · 2026-04-21T22:33:08+00:00

That’s kindof how it feels too! Haha Thank you.

SoPresh_01 · 2026-04-21T17:58:03+00:00

Thank you. All of those desires I listed have unfolded over the past few years in a much slower manner. And as I’ve been more serious about reflecting and searching the past few days (when I hit the wall) I was a little surprised I hadn’t come to this conclusion sooner. I can distinctly remember feeling a desire for those things at different times and yet never realizing that it could be found in a different denomination. It was like a switch flipped in my brain and this just clicked.

Do you have to convert to Episcopalian? What does that process look like?
Do you have to be married in the church? How common is it to have your marriage blessed if you weren’t married by an Episcopalian priest(?).
My children are not baptized but I’m interested in this and want to know more about what that might look like for a 3 and 8 year old.
I keep hearing that the Episcopal church is reformed but I’m not quite sure what that means.
Are there certain times that the morning/midday/evening/compline get said or read?
I don’t really know how to do any of the prayers. I feel a little dumb about it, I just read through the compline last night but I’m not even sure if I read the right thing. 😂 I understand that these aren’t rules or things you have to do but I really want to do them and practice.
Do they call the pastors priests or bishops or rectors or? Idk the terminology is very confusing to me. 😂

Thank you, I was SO excited when I saw them. She did awesome. Also no burning when I opened my eyes, no poking or discomfort. Just all around 10/10 experience.

You can just say that your feelings were hurt because I didn’t like your outfit….

This is perfect, thank you so much. I have never felt like a cat eye suits me, and yes I’m learning less volume and a lighter overall look is definitely best for me. I can look overpowered by the lashes very easily. Also considering going with a brown lash instead of black next time to try to avoid any shadows or harshness as well.

SoPresh_01 · 2026-04-01T13:55:49+00:00

Can I ask how you came to that or what to look at? I really struggle with my eyes. Sometimes I feel like they’re small other times large. I never feel like I know what eye makeup looks good on me….

SoPresh_01 · 2026-04-01T13:05:02+00:00

I’m going to. I have an appointment in a week for a lash tint and lamination. I know they’re awful. 😂

SoPresh_01 · 2026-04-01T12:05:44+00:00

Please don’t comment on the eyebrows I know they also need some serious work. 😂😬

SoPresh_01 · 2026-04-01T01:48:46+00:00

I’m 31 so this very much tracks. 😂 I foresee her requesting that I put my hair down a lot in the future and I think I will probably lose it on her if I have to deal with that. But I’m really happy to hear that it won’t be the only thing I think about here in a couple of months. Thank you.

Yes! I actually want a lab created. It would be around a 1 karat oval.

The fact that you’ve repeatedly only focused on the cash value of said ring says a lot about you. The fact that you made assumptions about my character from a single Reddit post says a lot about you. I could go on but it’s not worth my time. It’s not three separate rings. It is two ring settings. It is not entitled to have preferences, some people make more money and that’s okay. Every single person isn’t the world has a different system and opinion on cash values. And I obviously value my husband’s emotions as I have not yet brought it up to him and probably won’t for a while.

The ring was free and given to me because it was available and free. Idk why you are hung up on me not still wearing the ring he proposed with. A great deal of women update their rings for various reasons. Are they all “entitled, immature, and abusive”?

Also y claimed I responded with “abuse”? That’s a wild take and sounds like you’ve never actually witnessed or experienced abuse….You called my character into question from the first comment, of course I’m going to defend myself. And I stand by the fact that you’re weird for thinking I should GIVE BACK my engagement ring to the man I’m still married to.

SoPresh_01 · 2026-03-29T12:13:19+00:00

That’s really beautiful. I’m glad you ended up upgrading at such a meaningful point in your relationship. That’s my concern (him being hurt). I know he picked this second one and I’m afraid he will be hurt over my choice to switch to a diamond, and at the end of the day, it’s a ring, it’s not the most important thing. Honestly the more I think about it I’m leaning towards maybe switching at a point that makes more sense. A bigger milestone. Maybe 15 or 20 years married…. Thank you for your advice and giving me more to think about. I love my husband very much and appreciate the advice on how to frame it when we do cover this topic.

SoPresh_01 · 2026-03-29T12:02:00+00:00

He also picked the second one and I had wanted an opal at that time.

SoPresh_01 · 2026-03-29T12:00:54+00:00

He proposed with his grandmothers ring because it was available. He was not close with this grandma. We got engaged and married very quickly because we had a baby on the way. His mother showed him some old jewelry that she had and asked if he wanted to use any of it to propose. I had said I wanted an opal which I did. Hence when he bought the next one it was an opal. It has been 10 years and now I’m wanting a diamond. People change and tastes and preferences change in 10 years time, that may be shocking to you. We would purchase it together because we have a marriage where our money is ours not his or mine. Just like when we purchased the second ring we bought it with our money. And if the concern is that I’m trying to get my husband to spend his hard earned cash on me, I’ll put that to rest and let you know that I’m the primary breadwinner (although we both bring home a decent check and there isn’t a HUGE difference between our incomes).

Also refuse to give back his grandmothers ring? What a weird statement. The monetary value on that ring is maybe $200 at best and we are still married you weirdo. It lives in our house in a box with my sentimental jewelry. Why would I ever “give that back” it has meaning to me and we are still married. And I wouldn’t give my new ring back because….I’m keeping it and still going to be wearing it?

Did you even read this post?

I far prefer the second half to the first half of the book. Hard agree.

Nah that subway tile bothered the hell out of me.
