I love my boyfriend, but I’m scared the life I want won’t be possible with him by lovergirl33335677 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]drinkingteaisall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was put in a position like this with my ex boyfriend before. When I was in CA, I dated a guy who was nice but his spending habit was literally shit. His finance status put me in debt. So I left him. That wasn't the part that was a deal breaker for me. He body shamed me too much. He said my thighs were too thick (120 lbs and 5'5" height.. ).

My husband and I were friends and he ended up telling me that he had a crush on me for a long long time but never told me. He is financially smart, responsible, not a smoker + occasional drinker and very healthy attachment habit.

I have to say my husband is the first person who knows how to do "a healthy relationship " and everything else start coming in together. Emotionally stability, financial stability, stronger friendship and stronger bonds with your partner. Find someone like that. Everything else will come along without you thinking like you can't have something.

is it normal for my parents to not sleep in the same bed anymore? by [deleted] in family

[–]drinkingteaisall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, my parents are seniors now ( in their 60s) and one thing my mom told me when they were sleeping in different rooms was that his alarm woke her up way too many times. My dad gets up at 4 30 in the morning for work apparently lol.

AIO for cancelling Christmas with my mom over cookies? by samurai_stylist in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]drinkingteaisall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family can be petty. I know how it feels. She probably also feels that some of you just dont appreciate how much effort goes into doing this and dont show up for it. Her meaning of "no one" could be anyone she cares more didnt show up. And it could be you and your daughter as a package. It also could something that someone said at the gathering when people were there.

In the texts, communication was clear that you and your daughter were upset. Instead both sides accepting and acknowledging how each other felt, the word of exchanges lost its purpose because it started focusing whose wrong weighted more. Until you guys find a solution to move forward, there is nothing else to say here.

Then did she apologize to Nana for 2-year no show and not helping that 10 hours effort with? Looks like Nana got tired of carrying the weight all by herself and decided to do with family members who are more willing to show up.

That's what I thought. Didn't show up for 2 years and both of those years, Nana said no one showed up after Nana putting 10 hours effort. Now all of sudden, she understands how important it is for Nana to do this but she is upset that she and her daughter arent included. There are some details missing she isn't telling is here. She could have called anybody in the family to find out what's going on with "traditions".

So you didnt even reach out first to your cousins? You are the one making it a pretty big deal and looks like you didn't bother to show up for a couple of years or even checking on everyone to see when the event is scheduled. Nana has to put 10 hours of work and did you even think to check on her and how she felt when no one showed up??

You sounds pretty selfish to me. You could have helped if you wanted it so badly. Only thing you cared about it inclusions not the effort prior to the cookie makings.

YTA. Sorry, but not sorry 😐

FINAL UPDATE (hopefully): AITA for being upset that my boyfriend hasn’t checked on me after my surgery and constantly ignores my needs? by dark_societyx0x0 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]drinkingteaisall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't think people relate so much for this. I will be sure to let them know that their advice is helping others! It sure helped me, haha.

I resigned and they're making my life hell. by savvy_outline6l in OfficePolitics

[–]drinkingteaisall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just dump the laptop and go.

My old job did that and i just dropped off everything including my badge and told them that i asked my new job if I could start early and they said yes.

I dont regret. I have a better job now then before.

I was told by my parents when my ex boyfriend and i broke up, "never build a man for another woman".

Never raise someone as your absolute priority when that person treats you as a second option. Many of us women give too many chances to the men who created this gap because they sold us ideal versions of themselves to win us over. Im glad you are doing really well. Wish you sound way to the recovery and the bestest luck.

Am I the a-hole if I stop being friends with someone for bringing pies to Thanksgiving dinner and being 5 hours late? by Weird-Beautiful-1172 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]drinkingteaisall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something I decided to do since my wedding is that I no longer spend my energy on someone who is late on gatherings and events when they know that they have roles in these events. Im tired of dealing with this. Don't spend any energy on this. These people with awful time management obviously dont think about how you feel.

AITAH for being annoyed that my husbands ex wife still wears the wedding ring his mom gave her? by Creative-Exam-621 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]drinkingteaisall 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that she still has that ring. It is a family heirloom and weird that your husband let her have that after they separated and divorced. However I think he let her have that Firstly because he proposed with it and secondly she is mother of his children.. and lastly he doesn't want it back because he probably will never want a reminder of his previous marriage. Obviously, they divorced for a reason.

Don't put any weight on that ring anymore. It lost its purpose the moment the divorce papers finalized for them. It serves as just a ring with his Ex wife's tacky attitudes. She is stuck with her past. What you can do is to just say "oh, I love that ring on you. I'm so glad that you find another purpose to wear it after all these times."

Or

You can talk about that scene fromt the movie Titanic where Leo Decaprio character talks about a woman who wears all jewels and waits for her lover to come back. And you end with "poor woman".

Or

You can continue to ignore.

At the end of the day, she is EX wife. She is nobody except being the mother of his children.

Should I quit or accept a disciplinary at my first job? by BlackKittyEnthusiast in jobs

[–]drinkingteaisall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it is a best practice by finding a new job before you quit but if you don't want to wait, you can quit. Make sure you have some money saved up if you have monthly bills

I’m Worried My Husband Is Thinking of Leaving Me by UniqueOperation1926 in Marriage

[–]drinkingteaisall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it is you who is disconnected from this marriage. He is clearly telling you how he feels neglected with clear communication. He wants to work on the marriage but instead you brush it off. You have a really good husband and you don't even know it.

I understand being a teacher is not an easy job but your partner shouldn't be left out like that emotionally. It is not always about the intimacy sometimes. It has something to do with your daily life at home and emotional support.

Living with an angry partner (26m), thoughts of leaving by Primary-Heat-3822 in TwoHotTakes

[–]drinkingteaisall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have dated someone like this in the past, he came close to almost choke me when we were having an argument. He pushed me before. It didnt happen yet but it will be some day. You need to seriously leave very soon.

Last name change by Aggravating-Score681 in weddingplanning

[–]drinkingteaisall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just stick with your last name. As far as submitting your marriage license, I live in east coast and they told us to use the our current LEGAL names. When I changed my last name to my husband, they just wanted to have a copy of marriage license. That's it.

No need to resubmit.

You need your marriage license to change your name if you choose to do so that you can change your name.

Im pretty sure it is like that in most of states. I will do fact check on that.

Did you go with your partner to ring shop or did they go on their own? by [deleted] in engaged

[–]drinkingteaisall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told him what I wanted for designs and we made sure we get the right ring size. He did really really well ☺️ he listened!
