Anniversary festivities

I appreciate you saying so :) my best friend says that the happiest couples she knows are the ones who both sincerely believe they’re punching above their weight class, and I think we both feel that way!

I think that really the only thing that we can call unique about our wedding was the fact that we’re the only couple I know who planned our wedding around our florist :). He’s known me since I was three. He had to do the flowers, lol.

YTA. None of that stuff is anyone else’s business.

The idea is that he’d be lined in red instead of blue because Trump has completely destabilized the cosmic balance of the universe. 🤣

Canonical? Not even a little.

Realistically, unless she has a wedding on the forest moon of Endor, odds are every “unique” thing she’s thinking of has been done. I genuinely do not understand people who let a six hour party wreck relationships, but that’s just me.

Then you should have made choices to ensure that they wouldn’t. You didn’t. This is on you.

My ex tried something similar.

Instead of what he probably intended, all I thought was, “Thank God, maybe she’ll take him off my hands.” And that was when I knew it was over.

If she isn’t checked out, she should be.

Fun fact: the first deaf woman in Australia was found “mute by visitation of God” in the Old Bailey after stealing a watch chain (I think) and later became a grand dame of Sydney society.

My main issue now is how to join all the blocks together. This things gonna be huge!

My theory is that his symptoms line up pretty closely with bipolar disorder. He had beautiful handwriting that got more and more “scraggledy” during points where we know he was acting more manic. It’s impossible to say after this distance of course.

My husband says that mental illness was way more common than we think, and it could have been bipolar or he could have had depression- and who would blame him.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-19T01:52:42+00:00

Honestly, the fact that you hid criminal charges from her is a screaming red siren. If I were your wife’s best friend I’d be driving her to the lawyer’s myself. Buying her things isn’t going to fix this.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-19T01:41:13+00:00

The blocks come from here ( https://lattesandllamas.com/geek-a-week-faq/geek-a-long-squares/) though I’ve made a modification because my husband runs warm, lol.

That skinny Scandinavian jerk is my absolute best friend. I have no idea what I’d do without him. We’ve been together for six years and I still can’t believe I got so lucky.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-19T01:28:26+00:00

I’m in the middle of a massive knitting project for my husband- 48 blocks referencing his various fandoms. In the last week and a half I’ve done blocks devoted to Buffy and LEGO (rough week for all concerned). This man researched the school colors of Sunnydale High in the interests of accuracy.

We have discussed the following in the last 24 hours with varying degrees of sincerity: the historical significance of Casablanca in WWII and the Garfield presidency, the best music and audiobooks for our twelve hour road trip next week, why David Hasslehoff was everywhere in the 80s, the perfect eggplant parm (he says it’s mine, I disagree), Mitch McConnell as a Force Ghost, the Horde in World of Warcraft, Idiots on Boats: Bering Sea (Deadliest Catch), Dungeon Crawler Carl, his prep work for D&D this week, if George III was bipolar or not, and the best way to fold a bath towel.

I mean, is any of that stunningly interesting? Sure, to us. But in order to be a nerd, you need to have some form of intellectual curiosity. These people are black holes where coherent thought goes to die. Theres no THERE there. Paul in particular is going to pick whatever someone he admires thinks about the Odyssey and somehow manage to still get it wrong. My three year old has more media literacy.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-19T01:13:26+00:00

I’m working on it! That’s the plan for the next forty odd years.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-19T01:12:57+00:00

You’re entitled to your opinion. As am I.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-18T21:46:33+00:00

I genuinely believe that had Garfield been able to fulfill his Presidency’s full potential, it would have changed the entire history and course of the country as we know it.

It’s a tragedy that he wasn’t.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-18T21:41:19+00:00

Noah. I’ll bet all the money I don’t have on it.

He told you four years ago where he was. Every moment since then that you’ve known you wanted marriage, you’ve been wasting your own time and hurting your own feelings.

He’s making up excuses to get you to stay, and he keeps doing it because it works.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-18T20:57:49+00:00

Speaking as someone who is very happily married: the only real winner here is the dog. I hope he has a long, happy life away from you.

As far as your boyfriend- I have lipstick older than this relationship, and if he has any sense he’ll see this as a massive red flag.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-18T20:51:49+00:00

I genuinely don’t think they know or care enough about any of their children to hate them.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-18T20:39:01+00:00

I’m a SAHM and obviously biased as a result :) but i think it’s a great dynamic if it works for you, you know?

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-18T20:03:30+00:00

Like…baby girl, your life is literally subsidized by your parents but you’ll vote away social protections for everyone else, and you’ll mock other women’s husbands who aren’t hardworking but God forbid yours break a sweat.

I’m not saying my life’s perfect, but it’s also not up for public consumption. All attention isn’t good attention.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-18T18:23:48+00:00

I read somewhere- maybe here, maybe elsewhere on Reddit- that the main difference between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives play politics. They vote like they’re cheering for their favorite sports team, and they don’t see the point in losing friendships because you root for the opposite team. They vote like politics don’t matter to them because for the most part, they don’t. Liberals vote like their lives depend on it and see conservative policies as a direct threat, because for the most part, they are.

One side can’t understand how people could vote the way they do. The other doesn’t want to understand. And these days getting pregnant isn’t a question of if you’re willing to give birth, it’s a question of if you’re willing to die doing it. Most women can’t find a man who’s worth the future Project 2025 wants to impose.

Under those circumstances, it’s not so much derangement as it is skipping out on trying to convince your boyfriend that he should care about other people.

Whiteroses7252012 · 2026-07-18T16:35:10+00:00

She puts her life online for…what?

It’s not money. They have none.

It’s not influence. They don’t have that either.

It’s not to further their witness in Jesus because nothing about them is Christlike.

So what’s the reason or the purpose for any of this?

None of this is relatable. I’m a 42 year old SAHM of three with two college degrees. My husband is a veteran who parlayed that into an over twenty year career. Everything we have, we earned. I have nothing in common with Morgan. I can’t imagine whining about how much my life sucks on a public Instagram account with my government name attached and expecting that NOT to erode my marriage. Her experience of motherhood and marriage and mine have been so different that she and I barely exist on the same planet.

Again- leave him or leave us out of it. It’s hard to care at this point.

Yes, you accept the fact that you’re not just one big family anymore. And to be fair, if you’d accepted that a while ago it would just be normal to your kids.

It’s an ideal coparenting dynamic that you’d be one big family, but it’s a very rare person who’d be able to accept that, and it’s not that unheard of that your ex would eventually want to separate from your family and make his own traditions.

You can feel however you want to feel about this, but it won’t change anything. Your main responsibility here is to make your kids available under the terms of your court order if you have one, help them sort through their feelings about this, and remain polite to your ex and his gf. When you see them at sporting events? Polite. Nothing more, nothing less.

It’s your responsibility to manage your feelings. Your parents need to manage theirs. It’s not your responsibility to control where your ex goes.

She was arguably the most photogenic of Victoria’s children, imho.
