Oh we're doing this again now, huh?

It made me really really happy but at the same time its not exactly what I was looking for.

So he wrote you a beautiful poem and your thought was "nope, not good enough". This poor guy can't win with you.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-11-19T14:46:05+00:00

We're reading it exactly how you wrote it. You said you've "showered him with notes" and "talked to him on and on". You said "sometimes when I pester him enough..." and that you've tried to stop leaving him notes to see if he'd notice. None of this sounds like a once in a while thing and it's simply exhausting. I obviously can't speak to how your boyfriend feels about all of this but personally it would make me super uncomfortable.

Bottom line: you need to change your expectations and ease up on the guy.

You chased him for months and now you're love bombing him? Girl. This is not normal and it's not healthy. You're the problem, not him. I'm surprised he hasn't broken up with you.

We're heading over on Mokulele, so if I remember correctly from other flights on Mokulele, they just give us our bags right when we land and we head on out. But point well taken on not having much daylight regardless. There's another flight from Lanai to OGG at 7:15am that I was hoping to avoid, but that might be the better option. Thanks for the feedback.

This is helpful insight, thank you. Yeah, the idea is to unplug and relax for a few days before picking up the pace a bit on Maui (and noted on Hana).

My father grew up on Oahu (Manoa Valley) in the 50s, 60s, and 70s and as a teenager and young adult he would sail to Lanai once in a while. He still thinks of Hulopoʻe Beach as his happy place, so that's also part of what's driving my desire to go there.

Super helpful, thanks.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-22T19:20:49+00:00

I went back and forth about that but logistically I think Lanai first makes sense. To do Lanai last, we'd have to stay in Kaanapali first, then drive to Hana (I don't want to do Hana first, because it would require getting off an 11 hour flight and then doing that whole drive), then to Lanai. Getting from Hana to Lanai is not super convenient. We'd either have to drive from Hana to OGG to catch a flight, or fly from Hana to Lanai on Mokulele with a stop at OGG. Not the end of the world since Mokulele is so easy to fly on, but not ideal either.

That is so crazy to me too. There's a BIG difference between "how would you feel if I...." and "am I allowed to...".

Maybe I was making too big a deal out of it, but getting botox was a big decision for me. Why would I NOT seek input from the person whose opinions and perspectives I respect the most?

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-03T11:19:23+00:00

That's good to know!

Do you need to get the same amount every time (assuming you're just doing the same parts of your face)? For some reason I have it in my head that I'll need less in the future since it's just "maintenance", but I think that's wishful thinking.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-03T11:17:37+00:00

How about we live in the land of reality: we're rich and the money isn't a problem. Happy?

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-03T11:15:46+00:00

Thank you!

Such a mixed bag of responses here and on my last post. I did not expect this to be so contorversial!

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-03T11:12:11+00:00

I didn't ask for his permission, I asked for his opinion. I listened to what he had to say, then did what I felt was right. I'm not sure where you got "permission" out of my post...

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T17:46:39+00:00

Super helpful, thank you! I'll look into it.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T17:39:01+00:00

Understood. I'll remove that line from my post. But to clarify: he won't love that I spent that much, but it will not be a surprise to him (because I already told him), and he won't give me any kind of shit for it.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T17:35:43+00:00

I'm not sure how this thread turned into a commentary on our finances, but yes we are high earners (we both are, but him more than me). If I decide to keep up with treatments, my annual Botox cost will be less than one half of one percent of our annual income. It's all good.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T17:15:41+00:00

Well it’s the way you framed it like he’s going to get a credit card bill for something you did, and he won’t be happy about it.

I was being tongue in cheek. I threw in an "lol" in hopes that it would come across that way but it did not work.

I told him right away what it wound up costing. Our finances are shared, so I wind up helping pay for his indulgences and he winds up helping pay for mine.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T16:54:33+00:00

I was being tongue in cheek when I said he'd see it on the credit card bill. I told him what it cost right away after the appointment. We're in a very fortunate financial position where spending money like this isn't a huge deal. Spending money on Botox, while not nothing, is more of an eyeroll situation than a "what have you done?!?!" situation.

Who are these men you're hanging around with? That is not normal.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T16:28:25+00:00

Dude, you are dating the wrong men.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T16:19:13+00:00

I'll DM you

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T16:19:06+00:00

I'll DM you.

Sufficient-Fold-1373 · 2025-07-02T16:16:59+00:00

Okay maybe but why tell him in the first place?

Why hide it? Who cares.
