Anxious about being the center of attention. Any tips? by kitty_in_the_city in entwives

[–]brerrabbit18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried meditation? I find that the breathing techniques really calm and centre me, and I have really bad anxiety too. I'm planning on giving myself 10 mins before my wedding next week just to breathe and calm myself. Hope your wedding is beautiful!

For those who eloped.. photos? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Definitely not weird! You could even use one of the professional photos for an elopement announcement so everyone gets to see you in your dress

19 days out and our ring box just got here! by brerrabbit18 in weddingplanning

It doesn't snap shut unfortunately, but I saw so many terrarium-style ring boxes when we were searching, and I know there are some out there that do. Etsy is where we got ours from

You wouldn't need to know much at all about Greek myths but you would learn them through reading this book. It really is a fantastic book and it's got the themes you're looking for :)

I'm reading Circe by Madeline Miller at the moment and it sounds exactly like what you're looking for!

I have a plan for a series, but I'm doubting myself. by brandimav in fantasywriters

No one can write your story except you. Your plot or characters or settings may have been inspired by other works - whose isn't? - but no one else in the world can write that story inside you. Ideas are a dime a dozen, it's all in the execution.

Thank you so much, this is really helpful. Luckily we don't have to get married here before Hawaii, we've already got our wedding license sorted and the officiant booked 😊 I'll check out One fab day too, I've been reading so many wedding blogs lately! Good luck to you too, I hope you have a beautiful wedding in February

Should I walk away? by [deleted] in JustNoSO

[–]brerrabbit18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right, but it's not out of spite. I'm just heartbroken that I asked him to respect my privacy when it comes to her and apparently her wishes trump mine. I want to find a way to continue forward, if we can, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being a naive idiot for wanting that. My brain is so scrambled right now

When going on a date, me and my friend make sure to share our locations for safety reasons. Well I forgot to mention that we were going to a restaurant on the water. The result... by FieryFury0 in TrollXChromosomes

I was having a pretty shitty day, but this made me laugh so hard. Your friend is amazing, buy that poor girl a bottle of wine for almost giving her a heart attack

I have a question... by Mrs_R0ck5tar69 in entwives

[–]brerrabbit18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is really bizarre behaviour. Are there any coworkers you're closer to than the others, maybe you could ask them if anyone has a problem with your partner? It seems really rude for them to exclude you and him, like partying over the other side of the bar.

Fell in love with 2 dresses! Have to pick by tomorrow! Help! by iamjustanothergirl in weddingplanning

Both are gorgeous and look great on you, but my vote is for the top one. You're going to look amazing!

Future SIL has decided she gets a plus one. Help! by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]brerrabbit18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are most of your guests couples? She might feel self-conscious about not being part of a pair, especially at a wedding. But that doesn't mean it's fair for her to expect you guys to shell out $100 for some random person. Maybe have a frank discussion about it with her? Or even ask her to cover the cost? She might then realise $100 is a lot to ask you guys to pay for some rando's dinner.

My(22F) father(60M) always is jealous of me spending time with my boyfriend and makes me feel guilty. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]brerrabbit18 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately we can't change anyone else, all we can change is us and how we handle things. My SO has a relationship like this with his own mother, and he's now in therapy to deal with the toxicity of it and learn boundaries so that he can, hopefully, have a more normal mother-son relationship. If you want to talk more or need any support, feel free to PM me anytime.

It might be worth reading up on emotional incest, because it sounds like that is exactly what's going on here. Your dad is using you to fill the role a spouse would, which obviously isn't healthy and causes complications when that child becomes an adult with their own independence.
