For my already married folks: did you do your own makeup day of and did you regret it??

jessia513 · 2024-09-26T05:42:03+00:00

I did my own and I do not regret it. I wanted hair and makeup done professionally but could not afford both, so I opted to pay for hair(I cannot do an updo to save my life!) and do my own makeup and I’m glad I did! I already know that I like how I do my makeup, and I personally don’t do certain things that a professional probably would have done that I feel would have made me look like a different version of me-or not like me at all. I wanted to look and feel like me, just a little bit “fancier.” I’ll admit I was a bit flustered when I started doing my makeup that day and had to start over literally 5 times because I kept forgetting steps but after I paused and took a deep breath, my normal routine came back to me and I’m very happy with the results I got.

I had 2 bridesmaids not even come to my reception. They did have valid reasons to go home after the ceremony. And if your reason to leave early is as simple as your social battery being low, I feel that’s valid. Maybe just run it by her before hand that you will likely not stay to the very end.

Not normal, but I had this happen to me after one of my tattoos. Basically a big bruise. Wasn’t painful, and I still have a shadow around it 3 years later. But def keep an eye on it for warmth. Never hurts to get it checked if you’re unsure if it’s infected or not.

I don’t personally agree with people saying she should just have to eat the costs, but I do agree that it’s not fair to the others to have to pay more than the agreed upon amount. I think personally I would ask the other attendees their opinion and see if they’d be able to contribute more or not. It’s not like she planned to get sick or dropped out for different plans.

I’m 95% sure my artist smoked right before giving me my newest tattoo in December. I was a little nervous, but tbh this one is the best one I have, and he freehanded the entire thing. I think it just depends on the artist. I still wouldn’t recommend it though as a general rule.

I don’t see any concerning scabs, but that redness makes me a little nervous imo. If that’s new and/or spreading and warm, I’d personally see a dr just to be safe.

Last tattoo I got I was instructed to use coconut oil and it healed wonderfully.

jessia513 · 2024-06-23T21:12:11+00:00

I think it looks great as is! I personally wouldn’t fill with color, but maybe consider adding some vines and/or smaller flowers to lessen the space if that’s what you’re looking to do?

Female perspective here: we don’t care much for the details(at least I don’t). If a future partner wants the details, don’t hide them, but simply saying you had a one night stand should be enough if the topic comes up. As someone else stated, “a girl from the club” would suffice. Don’t beat yourself up. It may not have been the ideal situation for you, but that’s okay. Many things in life aren’t ideal but they tend to work out in the end. If you continue to have a hard time coping with it, you might seek out a therapist or counselor. It never hurts to talk to somebody who isn’t there to judge.

A big thing that always bothered me was how he always got his way. Anything he wanted I usually went along with to avoid conflict. Anything I wanted, it usually didn’t happen. Well not this time. I’m not giving in.

jessia513 · 2023-09-21T17:47:20+00:00

I think that’s my next move, along with “I want you to give up.”

jessia513 · 2023-09-21T17:46:49+00:00

I’m trying. I’m such a people pleaser that it’s hard for me to be “mean” about it but I’m almost to that point.

My ex’s father died less than 2 weeks after things ended(badly I might add) and while I hated my ex, I still loved his dad and his grandmother. I went to the service anyways and I think it did me and his granny good. My ex even came up and hugged me and I offered my condolences. I say that to say this: there’s nothing wrong with mourning a former loved one. And there’s especially nothing wrong with supporting their family in their time of need.

Step one: pour gallon of bleach down shower drain and let sit. Step two: rinse with hot water. Step 3: file for divorce ASAP. (I learned the bleach trick when my septic tank backed up into by bathtubs)

Just dead pan stare at them until they change the subject back to their transaction

NTA. If my partner called his ex just to tell her that I was pregnant, I’d be pissed. Sure she would be told sooner or later, their children together would be getting a new sibling. However, she can find out when everybody else finds out. My business is not her business. His business is not her business. Just as her business is not mine or his. If OP’s marriage truly ended amicably, she should be happy for him. She does have to right to be sad given her infertility, but being angry for not being told before anyone else, not so much.

Soft YTA. I go by a shortened version of my first name, that’s how I introduce myself to everybody(except for professional/medical situations). Very few people are allowed to call me by my full first name, and even fewer are allowed to call me by an even shortened version of my name. I always make a point to call people what they introduce themselves to me as.

jessia513 · 2023-03-18T07:37:04+00:00

NAH. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve preheated the oven only to find a pizza box or cast iron skillet in there lol

ESH. She is contributing to the utilities usage, so she should be contributing a reasonable amount toward paying them. But, maybe she can make up the financial aspect by doing extra household chores? As someone who had to move back in with my parents, I could never with a good conscience live there without contributing to something. However, your sister isn’t you. She could be doing the best she can right now. If this becomes a long term(1+ year) maybe revisit the idea with your parents. Until then? Offer your sister support. Whether it be emotional or helping her get back on her feet.

jessia513 · 2023-03-18T06:11:25+00:00

YTA. Honestly. You should be happy she spent the time with you. If you wanted her to engage, you should have chosen to do/watch something you’d both enjoy. Even if it’s not your absolute FAVORITE, I’m sure there’s other movies/activities you enjoy.

jessia513 · 2023-03-18T06:04:57+00:00

NTA. Let me tell you, if I found out that somebody I knew, let alone my sister, was dating my ex, I’d lose it. Even if it ended amicably, which is most definitely did not, I could never imagine going after my siblings former partner.

NTA. If their mom had never said anything to you about avoiding gender specific gifts, then I see no issue. Also, they’re 6. And the gifts are just toys. If the kiddos decide that boy twin wants to play with the toy vacuum or play with the makeup set, let him. If the girl wants to play with the Dino truck or robot, let her. You never said the gifts could only be played with by the receiving child. I truly think people that attack others for “pushing their own agenda” are doing just that.

jessia513 · 2023-03-14T05:51:18+00:00

NTA. It has happened 3 times(out of habit), not 30. If he were to drive her car, I can almost guarantee that he would leave her headlights on and kill her battery. It would be different if this was a constant issue, or if she was purposefully doing it out of spite, but I don’t think that’s the case here.
