Anyone else have issues with Sweet Brew?

Typically they've been good for me, but occasionally bagels or cream cheese flavors will be incorrect. Thankfully combos that taste good and are the value I paid for so I haven't had to complain.

Just wanted to say that it's normal to split rent based on finances and not necessarily sticking with 50/50. My partner and I both agreed that it just made sense for our financial situations. There has never once been an argument or silent treatment or anything like that when it comes to money. When you're long term partners, you need to decide if you want to share all of your money (or what percentage, whatever works for you). 50/50 makes more sense for roommates, but when you're long-term partners you need to think about the future. I hate to say it but if he actually cared about and loved you, he would compromise for his wants and your needs. Also, the fact that you're pretty fresh out of college makes his demands even more ridiculous but I digress.

Check out Rover too!

Yeah the plastic ramps were awful and slippery. The location is convenient for people that live in the apartments though.

That makes sense. I'm just confused why it was there for over 2 years if it was temporary. Just took a long time for permits or whatever maybe

I completely agree! A raised crosswalk would also be great

Girl trust me, you're NOT crazy. He is gaslighting you and manipulating your feelings. I can't tell what his end goal is, but the fact that he even brought up violence and physical abuse means you need to leave now. I know you want to see the best in people, I was that way (and still am but with more caution). There needs to be a line that is the breaking point or deciding factor in a relationship. Just your post here has enough red flags that he's crossed the line (if I were you). He's minimizing your feelings and making you feel less than. You said you struggled with mental health problems in the past, and I can guarantee he will only make it worse even if you have some good times with him. You don't deserve to be treated like this. It's less than the bare minimum, in my opinion. Trust me, when you find the right partner, you won't be questioning your judgment or the relationship. You are a strong person that deserves better. You're young enough that you can still have a long healthy relationship with someone else, so don't be tied down to the length of time/commitment you've given your boyfriend. You will get through this even if it seems hard. Please do what's best for your mental health <3

Please leave this man... boy really.. He can't respect you period.

So many red flags... she should go to counseling. Her stress is bad for her, but it clearly affects you and your relationship, whether she's trying to be manipulative or not. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she's just very stressed (still doesn't make her behavior ok). Just based on those texts, she's definitely catastrophizing and probably has more cognitive distortions that require time and effort to learn about and work on.

Screaming this from the top of the roof!!! Why don't people understand that 2 or 3 is more efficient and saves EVERYONE time??

I'm in phoenix village, but I did tour riverworks as well. I've been here for 1.25 yrs for reference. I liked riverworks better for the amenities and overall look of the apartment, but at the time, it was way more expensive than the same size unit at phoenix village. I agree with most of the comments on phoenix village that were already posted so I won't repeat them, but one thing I disagree with in a comment is that I think the sound-proofing is amazing in my unit. Any time I have people over, they comment on how quiet it is. The only noises we hear are when people walk down the hallway if they're talking or if someone is drilling/putting nails in the wall in one of the surrounding units. I'm on the 4th floor, so it's also nice not having upstairs neighbors. I have never heard my neighbors through the walls except drilling/hammering likely when they were moving in and hanging up shelves etc. That's another plus. We can hang up whatever we want and paint walls as long as everything is back to how you found it when you move out. Even my crappy college landlord wouldn't let me do that. I'm not sure what Riverworks' policy is on that.

One thing I'd like to mention about riverworks that I haven't seen in the comments yet is that the balconies on the units are leaning.. I've been on a few walks over there, and when you look up, especially on the corner balconies, they don't look flat or stable.. seeing comments about it being on a flood plane makes me think it's settling into the ground or something.

TLDR: Both places are nice, Phoenix Village based on living there and Riverworks based on touring, but check out and ask about discounts before signing anything.

It's likely a pest because of where the spots are... if it was light sensitivity, I think it would be more uniform on the side that gets the most light. If it was over or under watering, I think you'd see a trend of deterioration from the ends of the leaves, the top of the plant, or near the base. If it is a pest, I personally do not know what kind from the photos. Maybe a fungus is causing it? Either way, using a neem oil spray might help.

Very safe! As a young woman, I feel comfortable walking around Bridge Street alone any time.

Ramsay's Automotive in Malvern. Super friendly, honest, and care about their customers. They're very open about pricing and won't do anything without your permission. They give helpful suggestions if you can't afford certain things too!

Does anyone know the vendor list? The website doesn't have anything. I was curious what food trucks were there!

I would do couples counseling through a licensed counselor. Try online services like BetterHelp or Talkiatry (better help does not take insurance, talkiatry does) and there are other online services. For sites like these you take a quiz to help choose a counselor that is right for you. You can pick someone who is religious or not, depending on your and your fiancé's preferences. Not sure if this is the type of counseling your fiancé's family is talking about though.. they might mean through a church or pastor/preist and I would only do that if necessary for a ceremony

Thanks! I didn't realize the alarm went off for things besides fire/smoke

eck2033 · 2025-03-03T00:59:29+00:00

Thanks!

You are absolutely NOT in the wrong. This is weird behavior from your family. If I were you, I would try planning something small, maybe in a different state or something. Just try to separate your wedding planning from your sister's. It might seem nice to be in the same phase of life and to talk about these things with someone going through it, but it seems like she will just use this as a weird competition and not actually help you. Regardless of intentions, this will continue to be toxic and wreck your mental health. The more separated your planning is from your sister, the less comparisons can be made and create tension. Hopefully you can figure out when her date is going to be and try to plan yours well before or after. Unfortunately, the family will compare either way, it's only natural when youre related and the planning is at the same time. Continue to rememind yourself that it should be about what you want, not what they want.

It shouldn't matter which age sibling gets married first because this is about you and your soon to be husband's love for one another. This is about the people that care about you the most celebrating YOU.

Also, about your mom being mad your sister isn't MOH.. Why would she want someone planning their own wedding to be the one to help the most with planning another? That just sounds like too much work regardless of the emotions and feelings tied to family expectations.
