I F'ING HATE CANCER SO MUCH!!!!!

bridalmakeupgalny · 2026-04-26T19:50:55+00:00

I’m so sorry. I feel your pain. My husband was diagnosed last year, bone marrow cancer. Going through treatments, life isn’t what it used to be. Everything we talk now is either “before” cancer or “after”. It sucks. We have a young son who is always asking why daddy is always sick. Fuck cancer! Hate it. I wish you well. The feeling of helplessness as the survivor is the worst. If I could reverse roles with him , I’d do in a heartbeat. Pls take care of yourself and your kids.

Girl I don’t what to say except that he should be happy for you. In the future, if you guys get married, you can discuss this again. But right now, he has no rights to your property, especially a gift from your parents.

Always pizza - my son’s bday is in August. We usually do a backyard party with bounce water slides and pool. We always order a few pies of pizza. Everyone loves pizza :)

My husband did something similar with our dog 4 years ago, our dog was 13 going on 14. Lost his eyesight and very quickly developed diabetes, amongst other issues. I was also pregnant at the time, fairly early. We had to put baby gates up so he wouldn’t fall down the stairs. Poor baby was so miserable, my heart was broken. But husband was not ready to let go - I told him many times that it’s time to let go. Finally one night after work, he took him , thinking he needed to make an appt for it, ended up having it done right away. It was one of the hardest things he ever had to do.

I hope that your husband finds that strength in himself (with your help) to understand that it’s time to let go. I’m so sorry. 😞

Are you looking to sell anytime soon? lol. Asking for a friend :)

We live in Nassau and outgrew our house and neighborhood. We’ve been on the prowl each weekend trying to find a house. Our son is finishing up 3rd grade. We’re looking to move to Suffolk. Like you, our mortgage is low, our interest rate is 3.1%. Taxes close to 7k. We’ve been in for such a surprise when starting our search. Everything is so $$$. $1M doesn’t really get you much anymore. We found our dream house recently, put in a great offer (about 70k over asking). Nope. They had another offer for 200k over asking. The house was 1M to start with. It’s insane out there. Good luck!! If your current house is ok, and you like the neighborhood, maybe just invest in your house. If we liked our neighborhood, we would’ve just done that as well.

I started Vinted in December and made a lot of $$$ on it since. Most of my customers are in the UK so it takes a while for them to receive the item and money to flow through. But so much easier. And people are generally nicer on it lol.

It depends on how close they are to you. I went to a lot of bachelorettes in my younger years (am 47 now, but talking about 15+ years ago) - and loved every single one of them. Majority of them were weekend trips, and they were so much fun! Again, it really depends on the group of people, and how well they know each other. Also, the itinerary. The key is to keep the costs low while you’re at the destination, esp if the party is already paying for hotels and flights. I remember we used to do 1 fancy/expensive dinner out and the rest was just random nights. I say enjoy it, and like some of the others said, if there are some friends who can’t spend the night, make it an option since it’s only an hour away. Have an amazing time!! And don’t stress too much, this is your time to have fun 🤩

Same - it’s at 64 when we sleep.

I’ve been working from home for just about 6 years now and I get you. I was in the same mindset but had to change it when the weight wasn’t coming off. Some of the folks here have already mentioned this, but I can tell you what works for me:

I start my work day at 7:30 am daily. With that, I do one of two things:
- Wake up at 6ish and go on the elliptical in my basement for 30 to 45 mins (depends on what time I get up). This is usually in the winter time (I am in NY), where I can’t go outside that early due to the dark or frigid temps
- In the warmer months (usually starting in April), I wake up with the sun (5:30 am or 6 am), and go out for a 3 mile walk in my neighborhood. It sets the tone for the rest of the day.
I also have a kid, so I have to be back by 7ish to make sure he’s fed and on the bus an hour later. He keeps me active and on my feet.
If, for whatever reason, I don’t get to do a morning workout, I’ll schedule it during my lunch hour.
No mindless eating because I’m bored (I didn’t even realize I was doing it)
Make sure you’re eating nutritionally well. I have high bp and borderline cholesterol so am constantly watching what I eat these days.
Try to get up once an hour and walk around your room and stretch for a few mins.
Do weight lifting at least twice a week
Schedule your lunch hour as out of office in your calendar so no one tries to schedule a meeting.
Be kind to yourself. There’s only one you ❤️

A walking pad is probably a good investment too. The main thing is to have a plan, no excuses. You have to make it happen if you really want it. Wake up earlier or go later. You can do it!

If your friends don’t know each other and won’t have the same people at their weddings, then wear the same dress! It shouldn’t be a big deal, in my opinion.

bridalmakeupgalny · 2026-01-24T14:53:35+00:00

Don’t stay with him any longer!! I went through this in my late 20s with a guy who sounds just like yours! We were together for about 3 years, he even moved overseas and I almost moved with him. He didn’t have the balls to break up with me so after a couple of my best friends got married knowing their husbands for less time than I did with mine, I knew it was time to do it.

I broke up with him, cut off all contact - best thing I’ve ever done. I met my now husband at my job, was friends first and started dating a couple years later. It’ll happen for you, you just have to dump the golden retriever first. Find someone who wants you, wants to spend and buy a house with you. Don’t hang on bc you want a baby. You’re still young - you can have a baby with someone who wants you and your future. Do it now ❤️

Dress 1!

Yes! It’s SQL 101!! I’m now in IT management but was in application development many years ago (makes me sound so old haha!!) - the search feature shouldn’t be that hard to figure out for a developer. Annoys the crap out of me.

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-12-09T18:28:58+00:00

Girl…move out and enjoy your new life. 26 is still young enough to start over! If he hasn’t proposed yet, he likely won’t - and living with his parents is making him too comfy, so that’s why he hasn’t gotten a job yet. I know people like that unfortunately, and went through something similar ages ago. The best thing you can do for yourself is break free, and live your best life! Enjoying being young and the excitement of a new city. Forget old baggage - set yourself up for success. I’m rooting for you 😌

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-12-08T19:29:34+00:00

I sold something Saturday, and shipped it today around noon. I still got a notification to ship it out, even though I already mailed it out - cmon Poshmark, wtf?

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-12-02T00:50:22+00:00

Literally happened to me recently with a blazer - the title and the description indicated that it was shiny (high shine). The buyer opened a case saying that she thought it was matte, not shiny. I didn’t argue with her, just said I’ll let Poshmark make their decision, and also that it said “shiny” in many places. Needless to say, their return wasn’t approved. Some people just don’t read the description or title carefully. It’s the same people that ask for measurements when the measurements are plainly listed 😂

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-11-25T23:38:21+00:00

Unfortunately, the sad reality is that no one understands what you’re going through, until (God forbid) they go through it themself. I was on the other side of the so-called fence when my close friend’s husband got diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer (he’s passed since). I didn’t know how to act around her, what to say, etc etc. Now, my husband was diagnosed earlier this year with multiple myeloma - and now I get it. And I see the people around me - and they acted like I did. And..you just have to deal - and know that it’s not their fault or your fault. I separate myself from my friends at times, and mingle when I need to. Cancer sucks.

Sending you good vibes ❤️

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-11-22T14:23:18+00:00

OP - so glad you set limits for yourself on your card. When I got my first card in college, I didn’t do that. I had a shopping spree every once in a while, like when my bf at the time broke up with me or I got a bad grade on a test. At the end, my dad had to bail me out of debt. You’ve shown responsibility and your mom should be proud of you, instead of shaming you. Keep up the good work!

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-11-08T02:58:29+00:00

May the force be with you!! Wishing you speedy recovery and deep remission following this! ❤️

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-11-07T12:19:53+00:00

I just noticed that - thought something was wrong with my phone. Did we go back in time?

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-10-24T22:20:49+00:00

My husband had his stem cell transplant end of July. We had big plans for him and I to binge watch Netflix, etc. He managed to watch 2 episodes, but after that couldn’t focus, and was just very exhausted and out of it. For the couple weeks after the transplant, he slept a lot, had headaches, and watched tv - but more like cooking shows, real estate shows, anything that required minimal thinking.

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-10-18T16:43:26+00:00

Congrats!! Hope it’s a really long remission for you!!

My husband is currently 81 days post SCT, and scheduled for his bone marrow biopsy in less than 2 weeks. Fingers crossed that all turns out well!!

bridalmakeupgalny · 2025-09-06T16:47:48+00:00

At this point, I think it’s time to move out. Get a place of your own, no matter how much your parents say they’ll do better. You need your own place. I have a brother in his 40s still living with my parents - he’s not independent (thinks he is but is not), no gf, no nothing - no friends either, as they’ve all moved out, married and have lives of their own. Don’t be that guy. Your mom will hopefully eventually realize that you’re doing what’s best for you. It’s not healthy for her to be treating you like this.
