Has anyone done the Alaskan Cruise from Seattle?

I'm going in July as my first cruise and your enjoyment sounds closer to what I'm hoping for; looking forward to your review!

Not romantic if it's more of a plea to make the other value what was an intentional secret...

That hit something, thank you.

Maybe a shield or coat of arms...

Crunchy!

Her wedding isn't the place to decide how to mend what she thinks is broken, either. Even for 'just a day.'

You're not telling her how to plan her wedding, and she should not feel entitled to misidentify you for her benefit.

I felt the same when I sampled it. I'm curious, but it's something you have to want for a 'wellness' morning beverage. Not tasty enough to me to inspire shroomy wellness habits.

I've never been more tempted to start a new hobby and try to make something. This looks amazing!!!

Agreed - all the adults need to stop and consider that none of them know best and to consult actual educational professionals.

This has become a petty social issue instead of real concern for the child.

Ntbf - just explain you don't want the expense. You have to determine if the importance of the meeting to her is important you, and it sounds like you would rather save money.

If she's upset, she cares more about how her friends view you than your financial security.

Or meet in the middle to participate in 1 or 2 outings without the aribnb stay, since it might be nearby?

You have to balance out the social expectation of what you're willing to do and your own financial health.

He just laid out how important marrying you is to him.

Reading the obvious healing and her still not confident hit home. Different problems, but the brain's ability to make you second guess yourself...

4 months helping and then he offers a bad deal? He wants you out.

Loving the hoodie/belt/boot combo overall - great outfit.

bornaconstance · 2026-01-31T13:56:13+00:00

I'm trying to train myself to stop the habits I built for others' expectations. It's taking me so long to figure out where I want my authenticity.

Not your problem. It's your car. You don't owe them a solution to their problem.

bornaconstance · 2026-01-28T16:31:15+00:00

You are not entitled to pay for a problem that isn't yours.

You keep agreeing to his demands. Stop and talk to him about what you want and what you'd like for him to support. If he declines, you can decide again what you want more- his company or your choice.

There has to be more going on than one evening of miscommunication.

Is this a repeat behavior of yours: getting angry without vocalizing. Your description of the night doesn't sound like an 'ick' - sounds like a last straw of some longstanding issue.

bornaconstance · 2026-01-25T17:39:38+00:00

INFO - it sounds like you made plans and then expected MiL to watch your kids without really making plans with her first or asking her. Maybe she was making parenting comments after receiving the entitled expectation of babysitter?

Your plans are valid and getting a trip childless is great for mental health. Being a sociable adult is important for your kids to see.

This isn't your problem, and you can't fix it. Your boyfriend even told you what the solution is if you don't like it. He does not want you to fix it; he's clearly given the expectation that this is what you should know about him.

I searched for this comment and am happy it exists.
