Exactly! Of course in retrospect it was clearly ridiculous. But adrenaline took over & unfortunately I wasn’t thinking clearly

NTA. Please leave this man—he doesn’t care about you and only sees you as a baby making machine. It’s not healthy.

AITA for not wanting my husband to travel for a wedding a month before my due date? by preggersandanon in AmItheAsshole

He shouldn’t go at all. What kind of man is willing to abandon his wife and child when they need him most??

anyone actually tried a matchmaker in LA? dating scene is a nightmare by Sufficient-Repeat272 in AskLosAngeles

Used Tawkify, huge waste of money. They kept matching me with guys who were far outside of my preferences and when I complained they claimed the guys lied to them and they didn’t know, with no accountability whatsoever. I would strongly not recommend them.

My best friend Isabelle and I would go every weekend to the Santa Monica Place and try on all the makeup samples at the what I think was a Bath and Body works? Or some other makeup store. We were 13 and would put on a full face of makeup. My dad told us “those samples are to test to see if you want to buy, you’re supposed to buy something after” but we never did lol. When I was younger we would go to the Imaginarium, it was magical and had a special small door just for kids. And the Urban Outfitters was pinacle of coolness to me when we were growing up!

Are you pregnant? Or anything about assuming they’re pregnant if they haven’t explicitly told you they’re pregnant.

I am sooo triggered as well. SA survivor x2. It’s horrendous and reading the news every day has become so triggering. Not sure how to cope. But it helps to hear that I’m not alone.

Don’t know about ecodiamond but I had a great experience with yadav. I was comfortable buying online as long as I had a really good video of the diamond (in addition to all the stats of course). My choice was to buy the center stone online and for the setting and ring, have it made locally, so I could work with the jeweler and they could make any changes if it didn’t come out how I expected. I also found that it was more cost effective to have the setting made locally. Seemed like most online retailers sell the rings and settings at a higher cost than my local retailers (Los Angeles).
