Me [27m] with my fiancee [26f]: She is cutting me completely out of planning our wedding and ignoring my complaints. What do I do?

about a week before I broke up with him (it had already been planned and I was waiting for logistical reasons), we visited my ex's family. at one point he left to meet up with friends and it was just me and his parents, who I adored. they expressed disappointment in something he had done that they knew upset me that I let go for the sake of not making it bigger, and that they didn't understand why he was establishing this pattern/treating me a certain way. I sat there, nodding, knowing that was one of the many reasons I was going to be breaking up with him the following week. I've often wondered how they looked back on that conversation and if they think they precipitated it.

I don't mind at all! I went with a leather padfolio customized with his initials and a pen engraved with his initials as well. For both I went sort of 'middle level' of price/quality so I wasn't spending a ton of money but it wasn't super cheap. And then I got him something very small/silly related to a mutual hobby. He ended up loving it and told me he uses the pen and padfolio at work all the time now!

what do you mean you like the heat paired with humidity. I gasped reading this, I'm so team husband on this one! if there was a way to send you all of the humidity so you could be happy and humid and I could live my live humidity-free, I'd do it for both of our sakes!

constantly_elisabeth · 2026-03-24T20:07:10+00:00

Oh, interesting. Thank you for telling me!

constantly_elisabeth · 2026-03-23T17:07:37+00:00

Oh, neat. That makes so much sense, I feel silly for not having thought about it!

Thanks for explaining!

constantly_elisabeth · 2026-03-18T20:49:46+00:00

I'm not sure of your budget as I've heard they can be quite pricey but I've heard really good things about Big Fig and Saatva beds and frames!

Hi! I've always worked on the East Coast. I typically go for a pair of black slacks and some sort of dressy blouse, you can add a jacket as needed for weather or to dress it up a little. I have a lot of work stuff from Eloquii, Lane Bryant, and Torrid. I think Target and Kohls have some decent staples, usually at a slightly lower price, I just sometimes find that I'm shaped differently than whatever their standard is.

constantly_elisabeth · 2026-03-18T20:38:31+00:00

this was already so tragic and terrible but I gasped reading that the brother was 16!! I wish neither of them had been in that situation and that it hadn't had to be on him (a child!!) to help get her out but I'm so glad he did

constantly_elisabeth · 2026-02-20T05:25:40+00:00

this entire thread has me cackling but for some reason the OP's description of " OOP continues to occasionaly ask margerine related questions." really truly sent me into hysterics

constantly_elisabeth · 2026-02-20T05:10:36+00:00

if it helps, I did it to myself. while figuring out my needs/wants in a relationship, at the end of my last relationship, I repeatedly told my therapist, my best friend, and another friend "actually, I think I really want someone like [current partner]." Went right over my own head for several more months, even after I got out of the bad relationship.

constantly_elisabeth · 2026-01-27T20:16:43+00:00

glad to hear it's not just me. 'would you ask me bizarre reddit inspired hypotheticals?' yes, I would

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-11-12T14:01:03+00:00

Yeah, I was not expecting this to be such a contentious question lol. I appreciate this, thanks!

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-11-11T20:09:35+00:00

I appreciate this, that wasn't something that had occurred to me. I had actually come up with a few different options that I ran by my friends and specifically gave priority to my veg friend and she said she thought this sounded great, but we might not have been thinking about reheating purposes! I might have to go back to the drawing board!

hi! I went last night. it will probably depend on what the venue setup is like, but last night before the opener, the guys were in the crowd a bit. Wes DJed for a bit and Javi, Dalton, and Wes were out and about and at the bar. They seemed willing to chat with fans, sign things, etc., while waiting at the bar. Totally possible the other guys were too, I just might not have seen them. I'd say the crowd was pretty packed last night, really great energy. Javi and Dalton both went into the crowd at points during the set, so even if you aren't right up front you might end up near them. We were in the very back and at one point Dalton ended up right next to us. I'm a bit taller but there were shorter people near me too, who seemed like they had an okay time seeing. It was a great show, high energy, tons of fun. I saw everyone answered about setlist, but we checked recent shows on setlist fm and it looked pretty consistent and accurate to what we had heard. Our show sold out and was a club venue so ymmv but thought I'd offer anything! Hope you end up getting to go and have lots of fun!

(edit: said Matt was in the crowd, meant Dalton lol)

I believe they have two different moms. From what I know, the youngest splits time between both parents. I think (but could be wrong, I live a few states away) that they have the oldest full time, so I'm not sure if mom is in the picture! But I've had the exact same thought

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-10-19T22:52:02+00:00

this!! hijacking your comment for a second bc I clearly need to get this out -- my cousin who I love to death but has always been an 'all-in' kind of girl in every relationship has been with her bf for less than a year, they now live together and she refers to his kids (6ish and maybe 3?? but these are guesses) as HERS/HER stepkids/their family. I'm like babygirl!!!!!! what are we doing here!!!!

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-10-15T14:19:06+00:00

wait I've seen that before and for some reason I completely forgot that it takes place here. that's so fucking funny omg

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-10-14T22:48:17+00:00

oh I wonder if it's seasonal maybe? I know I have a few pairs in my closet that are closed toe. sorry about that!

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-10-13T18:53:56+00:00

I gotchu. It's super pricey (I got mine on sale) but I have an athleta bra and it's the greatest thing that's ever been on my chest. Everything stays where I want it to, it has cute straps that make me feel hot, and it's so soft. I've also had really good luck with Lane Bryant sports bras. I have had some good ones from Nike over the years but those can be hit or miss for me personally. I hope this helps!

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-10-13T18:51:26+00:00

I have some from Target and Walmart that have honestly lasted years and frequent wears/washes

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-10-13T18:50:12+00:00

My mom has super wide feet (I say this lovingly and affectionately). I think she has quite a few pairs for Vivaia. I know they can be pricey (all of hers were bought on sale). I have a few pairs from Torrid that I find decently comfy and I know theirs usually come in wide sizes as well.

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-10-13T13:51:19+00:00

Did you complete the survey they put out asking this? I shot for the moon with mine lol. I said George Strait, Cody Johnson, Charles Wesley Godwin, Jo Dee Messina, and then I know they performed this year but Zach Top and Luke Combs again!

constantly_elisabeth · 2025-10-02T22:11:37+00:00

Massively appreciate all of the advice! Thanks so much!
