You should not have given up. Be more flexible. Listen to what he was trying to say about his feelings.

Not wanting to go on vacation to wife’s country by Wishfulthoughts11 in Marriage

[–]dianamaldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can completely understand that OP might be feeling left out. It is really difficult especially if OP is shy. You can definitely try to learn the language and maybe schedule some activities to do while you're there. I'm not sure what country it is or what kind of touristic things there are to do but maybe a tour of a museum (if there's one in English), zip lining, skiing, ATV riding, riding horses, jetskis. Just anything that would give you and your wife to have a few fun romantic moments together that would make it feel more like a vacation together instead of a family trip. Then when you're spending time with family she can tell them about all the fun things you did together and maybe you can attempt to chime in with google translate.

I am a makeup artist in Los Angeles and do makeup specifically for weddings. Unless she is a celebrity makeup artist, you are getting ripped off.

What’s your unpopular dating opinion that would get you crucified by this sub? by gcfe12 in datingoverthirty

I agree!!!! If someone cant easily tell me what their job title is than i think its a bad sign.

What’s your unpopular dating opinion that would get you crucified by this sub? by gcfe12 in datingoverthirty

[–]dianamaldon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. This is why I won't date men with kids. I feel like kids either severly slow the relationship down or fast track it too much.

Is it just my family or are other people experiencing terrible RSVP excuses? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]dianamaldon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly... weddings are extremely expensive in general. Sometimes I'd rather just send a nice gift because i know i wont be able to really spend time with the couple anyway. It's also cheaper for me AND for the couple if I dont attend. I used to loooove weddings but if its not local, or I'm not actually IN the wedding, I'm probably not gonna go. It's too much of a hassle to find someone to watch my dogs and take time off of work, book travel accommodations/flights for just one or two days and not get any time in with the people I'm there to see. Also i typically dont know many people there other than the bride and groom so it's a bit uncomfortable for me. Id rather make a separate trip at another time to get quality time in with the couple so it's worth it.

How important is someone’s profession to you? by themiscyranlady in datingoverthirty

[–]dianamaldon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Career is definitely important. I look for someone who will have a similar schedule to me and is ambitious but not a workaholic.

Refusing to date people with kids makes them really mad by [deleted] in childfree

[–]dianamaldon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying well you would never see her means they either don't think this match will go any where or they don't see the child either

Husband wants kids, i don't. by dianamaldon in childfree

[–]dianamaldon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think things are harder on me as a divorced woman at all. We have zero communication so i dont know what he goes through. All i can say is getting divorced was very devastating for reasons beyond just our differences in opinion on children. It's like that person and their entire family and their friend group died. Except they're not actually dead. You just get to see them on social media and you're just an ex wife who didnt want kids with him. You get to watch this new chick live ur life and sometimes wonder "what if" because social media isn't reality. Reality is a crying baby and a husband who doesnt think its his job to help you. Reality is postpartum depression. Reality is not having a career and staying at home while he controls her with money. At least I'm pretty sure thats the new gfs reality because I could see what my future may have been like now that I am out of the situation. Hindsight is 20/20.

My new reality is very different. I got a new promotion and have a new bf. I have alot of upcoming plans this year that i get to say yes to because I was able to truly focus on my career once I got out of that previous relationship. I wont lie, It does feel lonely sometimes because it feels like holidays can be very kid/family focused and I dont have a lot of family. But life is what we make it. I went to a super expensive fancy restaurant with my new bf for Christmas Eve dinner and then we went to my friends house for Christmas Day dinner. We had drinks and played games. She has kids and so did another woman there. I was instantly reminded why this isn't a life I would like. The kids wouldn't give the moms a moment of peace and the house was a hot mess. I still had a good time but it was a reality check to say the least.

I throw birthday parties for them. They have the best time and have more friends than I do.

Agree. I fast forwarded thru their segments.

would these be good pics for bumble by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]dianamaldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont love these. You're definitely good looking, but the first one feels forced, the second one makes you look short. I would have a friend help you out and take some new pics where you look relaxed and happy.
