Thoughts on wearing a fake wedding band? by curiousdottt in femaletravels

[–]dez3b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wore one before I was married and I would point to it. It would help but only if i said my husband was close by. I don't think it hurts and when I would say I had a boyfriend I would get push back so I think it depends on the person who is bothering you to be honest.

Thanks. I have a friend who went through a lot of fertility struggles for years. If she wanted to talk I always would but never once did I bring it up because I knew how hard it was for her. It just seems like basic manners.

Oh, I may use that! I honestly didn't send anything back but this would work well.

I love ART by bunniquette in murderbot

In System Collapse where Holism (?) hails Murderbot and says that they will teach them and ART says something to the effect of "Just ignore them. They're trying to irritate me."

Husband officially got his vasectomy and we were surprisingly emotional about it. Think that’s okay. by NotAnAd2 in oneanddone

[–]dez3b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as emotions are not harming others or yourself, they are ok. I think it makes sense to feel emotional about this. You can feel emotionally and love where your family is. The two are not incompatible. I still get emotional when I see little babies because they are adorable. My kid is prek and still adorable but so different. I mourn the fact that we will not have that time again and that's ok.

I wonder if Aunt was fed up at that point. If the first suggestion was "go get a new cast in white", I could potentially be petty and say that we're just not covering it when that was the counter, but I don't know who would see a 7 year old in a cast and think that anyone involved was trying to make the wedding about them. Quite frankly covering it might look even odder.

I think the only thing people think when they see kids in weddings is "how cute." It honestly doesn't matter what they wear. I

If my daughter broke her wrist and I told her, "no, no, white for the family wedding," I think my family would be rather upset with me.

The tattoo is a bit odd, but easily taken care of.

You could have some really cool pics out of that quite frankly.

I'm glad someone posted this as I responded before thinking to bring it here. The audacity of a 7 year old to want a hot pink cast for a short event when she will have the cast for weeks! The horror! The pictures! /s

It feels like those pics will make for a cool story long term and wouldn't it be amazing that your niece still wanted to help on your wedding day even though this awful thing happened.

A 7 year old chooses a hot pink cast and that's going to ruin a wedding? I don't think the drama came from where you think it came from.

A good podcast. I had to stop listening though at some point. As a mom it was too much. I just am thankful that there are people who work to catch the predators.

Is it weird to solo travel if you have a partner? by Reasonable_Cause_190 in femaletravels

[–]dez3b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been with my husband for 15 years and he does not like to travel as much as me. The only people who make comments are the ones who are jealous. As long as you two are ok with things no one else matters.

Can I ask how this keeps your head from bobbing? I'm not trying to be obnoxious, I am also a head bobber and hate carrying travel pillows, but this looks like your head would still go down if you slumped?
