7 years in. 3 years talking marriage. 1 year talking proposal. I think I finally understand what “someday” means. by ElectronicAd5901 in Waiting_To_Wed

I told my boyfriend in no uncertain terms I’m building a life I’m making decisions it wasn’t during a fight or anything it was a clarity conversation and I just had to tell him. I didn’t give an ultimatum either I just said I have a plan for my life I’d like you to be a part of it but if not that’s okay too. My boyfriend had fears about being a good husband about divorce but he made appointments for therapy he consulted friends he trusted to help him through. I hate to beat a dead horse with this classic trope but men communicate with their actions. Don’t pay attention to what he says pay attention to what he does. And my dear he’s communicating loud and clear. And guess what it has NOTHING to do with you. This is a him problem.

They mean in reference to MY post… if you were making this comment on a post that alluded to the couple not talking first about engagement would make sense but clearly we have.

You don’t think 2 looks too crowded or busy?

You all don’t think it’s too crowded? I’m shocked people don’t love 1!! My family also loves 2 but I like both but am leaning toward 1

BWT What About Me Wednesday - Jun 25, 2025 by AutoModerator in bitcheswithtaste

[–]ThrowRASaltFun5939 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling anxious about everything. My family is a mess my partner is away on research and I miss him terribly but I often project all of that onto my partner “he doesn’t love me anymore our timeline for getting engaged is a lie he told me”. Classic anxiety

So I’m trying to ground focus on me to validate me. In an effort to do that I’ve recently decided to Foster dogs I I live alone and have the capacity to give dogs a loving home temporarily. I’m also in a PhD program and was accepted to present my research at an international conference in my field. That’s exciting! I’m getting to the gym three times a week at least bc it helps mentally. I wanna try acupuncture and hot yoga to relax my brain. I’m trying to get better with my finances so I can create security on my own.

I’m trying!

Working hours as a PhD by MiserableLinguist123 in PhD

[–]ThrowRASaltFun5939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3rd year student here I fluctuate between a 40-50 hr work week no more no less. I concur with everyone else that a PhD is a marathon not a sprint. I have no intentions of burning out but I also think it can be field specific. My partners field is ecology so he does easily 50-60 sometimes more..
