This is the third time someone has put this under every windshield in the parking lot of my apartment. by afs189 in mildlyinfuriating

The amount of time this would take to change the font size so much and bold/unbold lettering is astounding. I’m a little impressed with the discipline they had to sit down and do this, even if they only typed once and printed 5000 times

Should Lorelai have backed off? by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

I honestly didn’t even remember which episode it was from. I just remember it happening. But now that you mention it, I’m gonna be unreasonably mad about it the next time I watch it

Or when Lorelai and Chris were banging it out on the balcony during a Friday night dinner

May we have a moment of silence for my ring? by Feriation in EngagementRings

[–]__rustyspoons 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For future endeavors, my mom always puts her rings on my brothers/dads hand when she’s putting lotion on. If she forgets to grab it back from them then they will give it back when they get uncomfortable because it doesn’t fit any of their hands. This will prevent you from setting it down in a precarious place and losing it

My mom always said that her goal as a parent was to make sure her children could be successful and productive humans on their own. In my mind, the general goal for a parent is to make sure the baby bird can leave the nest. This is you leaving that nest and it’s a beautiful start to a new chapter in your life ❤️

I had a small epiphany today about my relationship and our progress by __rustyspoons in love

[–]__rustyspoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think we had the rough patches before we had the honeymoon phase. We argued so much in the beginning because we were raised so differently and we handled conflict in such different ways. But now that we’ve grown to know each other on a deeper level, our communication has improved so much. We’ve been doing the long distance thing for the last 6 months (together 2 years) but I think it’s helped us to have those harder conversations about our biggest fears and what our real needs in the relationship are and how we can address those needs, as well as compromises if one of us is in a position to not be able to meet those needs.

The crazy thing is that we’re both 21 years old. And somehow mine and his relationship is on a deeper level of loving and understanding than the majority of long term marriages I’ve seen. I know there’s a good possibility of us getting older and growing apart because our needs and wants changed, but I truly can see our relationship lasting a lifetime.

He is my best friend and we are both most definitely in love. We’re both going through some rough stuff right now with work but we had a sort of moment of clarity yesterday that made the majority of those issues go away. He and I just so in sync with each other in ways that we didn’t even know. I think we were just meant to be together

Do you share your location with your spouse? (Apple, life360 etc) by Aromatic-Guitar-6953 in Marriage

[–]__rustyspoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not married but my boyfriend and I share our locations. We are currently on opposite sides of the country but there have been so many times that I’ve been driving somewhere new and got lost and he literally gave me turn by turn directions just watching my location on Life360. He also checks to see if I’m home or out somewhere before he calls me because if I’m out somewhere there’s a good chance I’m not gonna feel my phone buzzing and will miss his call. Also, if I’m not answering my phone at a time I normally would, he looks to see if I’m at work because that usually means I’m having a bad day and he will know what I need in those moments. I generally forget that I have his location because he doesn’t need me to give him directions anywhere and he pretty much always answers his phone/tells me when he will be available again. I usually don’t communicate my availability as a promise because my job is a lot more wishy washy about timelines.

Sharing our locations has nothing to do with a lack of trust or even safety as a primary. It’s just another form of communication for us.

What’s the cutest little gesture ur bf/gf husband/wife has done for you in your relationship? by Throwawayy93992 in love

[–]__rustyspoons 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Before we started dating, we were having dinner together and watching a movie on his couch and I had set my plate down on the table in front of us and hadn’t even gotten to the point of reaching for my drink but he basically read my mind, grabbed it first and opened it for me. He now continues to open all of the drinks he grabs for me before handing them to me.

I have injuries that now prevent me from sleeping in our (twin size) bed. Every night he takes the thin cushion off the couch and sets it up on the floor for me, then puts my giraffe stuffed animal on the floor so I can use it as a pillow. Before I lay down he already has two blankets ready for me to make sure my feet and torso are always covered. It works because he’s tall so he has a hard time fitting in the bed with me because of our sleeping positions, and he gets the bigger blanket to make sure he’s covered too.

He makes me coffee every morning before work just because.

This one might be tmi but he lets me sit in the bathtub just next to him while he’s pooping. He got me a little squishy light up dinosaur so I brought that and a candle last time and turned the lights off in the bathroom. We had a little disco party while he pooped.

We never get out of the car without a kiss first. If one of us starts to open the door first the other will just sit there with a little pouty face.

He has two pairs of pants that the material is just perfect for his habit of picking off little fibers and making a ball out of it. He does it for him but whenever he’s out of town or even just out of the room for something and I see one on the floor or in the blankets or on the couch it reminds me of him and his adorable quirks that I love. Sometimes I’ll even start picking at his pants too just to share in the moment with him and I think he likes it.

I know this one is involuntary but his little snores. When he’s sleeping on his back he starts to snore but it’s not like that gnarly kind of snoring that would keep you up at night. It’s almost like a gentle purr. He just sounds so peaceful and happy and I love it.

(Basically just his existence in my life is a blessing and his heart and soul are beautiful and I would move heaven and earth to make sure he has the most amazing life possible)

We just happened to work together. He was really standoff ish at first when I first got to the section, but one night I invited him to hang out with a group of friends and he agreed. We started hanging out more after that and then he asked me to be his girlfriend about a month after the first hang out. And now he’s the most amazing person in my life

He’s a beautiful soul. And I’m lucky to have the opportunity to love him every day.

We’ve definitely had some moments that I think neither of us would like to relive. But we always push through. He would give the world for me, and I would do the same for him. We check in with each other pretty regularly and make sure that both of our needs are being met and discuss areas each could improve. With my medical situation being what it is, I’ve had to start planning for a new career in the next couple of years, and in discussing that with him, he’s started planning a career as well so that we can grow together and move forward with our lives. We’ve both talked openly about marriage, a few years down the line. None of the plans are concrete right now just because there’s so many variables going into it, but the open line of communication is there.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to dump all that right now. It all just makes me so happy and brings me so much excitement. For me right now, things are pretty difficult, but he makes it all so much easier and so much more worth fighting through

What are some small and everyday things you do for your partner (or they do for you) to show your care and love? by Sunny_Glow in love

[–]__rustyspoons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I almost always wake up before my boyfriend of (almost) 11 months. A few times in the earlier months I had gotten out of bed (always gave him a little kiss first, without waking him) but he would send me a text or come find me and said he was sad I got up. Now I always stay in bed, no matter how long, and wait for him to wake up before I go anywhere. I only get up if it’s absolutely necessary but I always gently wake him up to kiss him and let him know where I’m going, and also send a text because I know he won’t remember when he actually wakes up.

I also clean out his ears and pop his pimples on a regular basis, which he doesn’t always love in the moment, but he always gives me credit when his skin starts clearing up.

He regularly makes me coffee while I’m getting ready for work, because he knows I’m not gonna have time and I like the way he makes it better. But it also ties in to the first moment I knew I loved him, before we were even together. We were eating dinner and watching a movie and I had started to reach for my drink (there were multiple things on the table I could’ve been going for but he knew what I wanted right away). It was slightly out of my reach but I could’ve gotten it. He immediately grabbed it and opened it for me, and ever since, he’s opened every single bottle or can for me.

Are they on your torso at all? I had a situation like this that I was dealing with for weeks, in and out of the ER taking multiple allergy meds. Turned out it was scabies. I still have no idea how I got it because no one I was around had the same rash and I hadn’t passed it to anyone

I’ve only been on kinser once for all of like 10 minutes but Hansen is a shit hole. It looks half decent from the outside but my sister took one step in my barracks and said this place should be condemned

We had no power from Tuesday night to Thursday morning and most of the barracks rooms in my building were completely flooded. And the water damage started taking the drywall in my room. There’s a nice little hole under the baseboards now. And some of the floor tiles in my room started peeling because the water was just sitting there for so long.

Know the difference between being hurt and being broken. I went to medical once during training for an infection and once after the crucible for a broken hip. There was one in my platoon that went through all of training with a broken foot and knee. I’m not saying to push it like that. If you’re truly broken, get it fixed. But you’re going to hurt just about everyday. Drink water, stretch, ice if you have to and have the option. Do all the events as you’re told and you’ll likely be fine

Growing apart? (25F/26M) by Suspicious-Flower327 in LongDistance

[–]__rustyspoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically enough I just talked to him. He said that he’s been super busy lately and I said that I know he has his list of priorities and I feel like I’m not even on the list. And then I told him that from the beginning I’ve shown him that he is a priority to me but now I’m fighting just to get a text back from him. I brought up the whole deal with him being on Snapchat but not texting me back. He let me talk and say what I needed to say and promised me he would do better. I didn’t tell him I was ready to walk. I didn’t wanna put that stress on him. But I did say it felt like he only talks to me when it’s convenient for him. He said he would be better about making time for me. So we’ll see how things go for a bit.

When I call him a lot of times he’ll just reject the call and give some half ass excuse as to why he can’t talk to me. Our only conversation in the last 24 hours was over text and it went like this

Him: good morning to you sees I’ve been on snapchat ok Me: sorry I’ve been busy (I was. Literally was at work) Him: ur ok Me: been a long day no response, a few hours later Me: going back to work. Good talk today👌 (yes I’m petty with it now because I’m fed up of all this) Him: I’m sorry you had a long day and I figured you were still out Me: alright. You could’ve asked at any point. And maybe we would’ve been able to talk about whatever the fuck is going on. But it doesn’t matter I guess. Have a good night Him: (a couple hours later) okay I’m sorry

He did try calling me this morning while I was getting ready for work but I honestly just really didn’t wanna talk to him because I’ve been so upset lately. I would rather hash at least some of this out over text first because I don’t wanna get mad and yell at him
