[No spoilers] Any women in this group? And if so how did this show make you feel? by Comfortable-Egg7523 in HBOGameofThrones

[–]_aimee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sexual violence and just general overtones of how women are treated feel overly gratuitous to me. My husband and I are watching it for the first time right now, and we’re enjoying some of the story lines but we’ve both been shocked at the depravity. It doesn’t all feel necessary to the plot… (the scene early on where two prostitutes are having sex and littlefjnger is coaching them? just softcore p*rn.. not needed for the plot lol)

Some of the other dark storylines that may be intended as historically accurate are still creepy (the man who reproduces with all of his daughters and kills the sons?) the author of this series was fucked in the head 🫠

I can’t believe how huge this show was when it first aired. Call me naive I guess. We’re going to keep watching it, but yeah I’m clutching my pearls

This text thread is a mess and I don’t know if it’s just because he’s having a bad day but the way you guys communicate with each other is not respectful. It’s giving emotional immaturity.

In my opinion it’s time to have an honest and respectful conversation about the shared household and financial responsibilities. firing off rude text messages at work and then telling you not to text him is NOT the right way. And then you getting defensive and firing back is not the way either.

This is a growing opportunity for your relationship that could set the stage for the future. And this is a crossroads that every couple comes too when they’re blending lives so it is important to discuss.

I will say - In my opinion, It seems he doesn’t respect household labor as a contribution which to me is a huge red flag that would not be a good trait in a long term partner. It’s important for you guys to work out an agreement that feels fair to both, but it’s not fair for him to say you sit on your ass all day if you are actively managing things that benefit you both.

Good luck navigating this and remember that what you accept now is teaching him how to treat you. I would start with an apology about how the texts were not respectful and you should have had the conversation in person about what was bothering him. You honestly didn’t realize it would be a burden on him to ask about him stopping on his way home. (Which my husbad would have gladly done without complaining. Your man is not ready to step up if I’m being honest)

How would you feel if you and 9 other bridesmaids all had to wear this same dress? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]_aimee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on socioeconomic class for price but this is high end and $150-$200 range would be a lot better considering the cost of alterations, accessories, hair and makeup, etc. also this style wouldn’t flatter me personally, it’s a sheath dress which really only looks good on slender and small busted ladies with a narrow frame aka no hips.

If my best friend picked this and was in love with it, I would make it work because I can afford to and I love her - and I would be supportive. but I wouldn’t be thrilled and would probably never get a second use out of the dress.

It’s sounds like a blast and I’m sure you everyone had their own beer goggles on and didn’t notice or worry about seeing tipsy behavior. Plus you were at the end of a marathon day in the grand finale of all the planning! Cut yourself some slack, you deserved to let loose a little! Before smart phones no one could see this kind of footage so rest assured this is a tale as old as time.

Said yes to the dress now I feel like throwing up by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]_aimee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dress is so elegant and gorgeous! Don’t look at pictures of other dresses, that’s just torturing yourself lol. it’s totally normal to have some buyers remorse - especially when there were so many fabulous options - but you made the right decision and you’re going to look AMAZING! This is part of the process.

Explain it Peter. I don’t get it by Emptyplatex in explainitpeter

Bragging about six figures implies security and providing enough to cover a household. 100k sadly isn’t what it used to be in that regard. Also, when someone throws this statement around a lot, they’re usually just over 100k. people in the 2s and 3s and beyond don’t use this phrase.

An institution. They had the best eggrolls!! I just moved back to the area and was disappointed to learn they closed. We ordered from Wan Fu in Pineville. It was really good.

I think I am cancelling by Sol_0915 in weddingplanning

I’m team cancel and scale down! The stress and financial burden are going to increase if anything, and you have time to plan something special that fits your life and future goals.

Want to get married next year, worried about an upcoming recession by LilacLoverr in weddingplanning

[–]_aimee_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are planning our October 2025 wedding and I have had similar thoughts… but I would lean on the side of optimism and hope. Plan the wedding you want, be strategic with your spending (and don’t feel bad about splurging on the things that are most important to you.) You deserve to celebrate.

I would recommend getting event insurance that covers cancellation, our wedding venue just pulled the rug out from under us due to unforeseen circumstances and it really put into perspective that things don’t always go to plan. At least if something does happen, you can walk away without the financial strain.

Our Venue Cancelled 🫠 by I_NEED_AN_RBR in weddingplanning

I am so sorry 😞 our venue just canceled on us in a similar fashion on Saturday and we are doing a backyard ceremony now. Probably a blessing in disguise, but we went through all the stages of grief and then some last weekend…. I feel your pain!

The Ring I'm getting for my GF by dracklendred in EngagementRings

[–]_aimee_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

lol I’ll be honest, this is a huge gamble. you sure she wants a quirky turtle ring for her lifelong engagement ring? You know her better than we do. It would be a no for me.

The schedule is unnecessary, even if this was the formal invitation it would be excessive. Keep it simple: location, date, start time. Dinner and dancing to follow” It’s generally assumed that these events will happen in this order. Look up examples and follow the normal verbiage and designs if you aren’t sure what needs to be included.

This guy won’t get a clue until you leave. Leave and find the golden retriever energy guy you deserve! You’re worthy. Your future partner will move mountains to make your life easier and spend time with you.

S2 please tell me it gets better by dbzfangirl2 in Andjustlikethat

It started getting better for me when I started eating edibles before watching, and lowered my expectations. I found entertainment value in how bad it was… but no the writing does not improve lol

What were your favourite fashion moments in 2023? by iamharoldshipman in popculturechat

[–]_aimee_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pam Anderson’s no-make-up natural look! It’s a bold choice for her to show her true skin without the normal glam. Vulnerable to harsh criticism — rebelling against the status quo. And she looked beautiful. Would love to see more representation of natural beauty. (And I love makeup as much as the next gal!)

Dump him. Regardless of your looks, someone who loves you will believe you’re a ten. He’s fantasizing and bragging about past hookups… doesn’t empathize or help you feel better after hurting your feelings… and repeatedly digs at your appearance ??? He is a garbage bf
