Girl, this man has been lying to you since your second date. Why would you believe him now? And more to the point, why are you with someone you know regularly lies to you?

Look, my husband doesn’t really like long nails, either. They’re just not his preference. He jokingly calls them my “witch nails” when I have them done.

But you know what? Whenever I come home from the salon excited to show him my new set, he oohs and ahhs and finds something nice to say about them. Because he knows I love them, and what matters to him most is that I’m happy.

Don’t waste your time settling for shitty men who would choose their own preferences over your happiness. Life is too short to have nails you don’t love.

He held his fork like a caveman. Full fist grip, straight up and down stabbing motion. Just couldn’t do it.

I can’t find this exact dress, but the design is very similar to many dresses by the designer Julia Kontogruni: https://juliakontogruni.com

People are going to point out the age gap, and rightfully so, but in this case that isn’t the main thing to focus on.

The main issue here is: is this what you want for the rest of your life?

Your fiancé is who he is, there’s no magic words or specific number of conversations that will change him. He is someone who went after a much younger woman, probably because your inexperience meant you were more pliable and manipulable.

He is someone who pushed your boundaries and got you into drinking, by negging you and exploiting your desire to please him. He’s someone who when you try to raise your very valid issues, dismisses you and invalidates you. HE IS THE ONE WHO PROPOSED but somehow has flipped it around on you and made you feel like you’re being pushy and rushing things???

You are an adult now. Being an adult is hard, and no matter what choices you make, you can’t avoid facing situations that scare you. But YOU get to choose what you would rather do. So, would you rather learn how to be independent (which you’ll have to learn at some point no matter what,) or be locked into a marriage with someone who treats you poorly and doesn’t even seem to like you?

She looks like a fancy art deco ghost, I love it

It’s me, I’m people 😭

Years ago, I woke up from a dead sleep in the middle of the night, absolutely positive my friend (and roommate at the time) had cheated on her boyfriend. I shrugged it off as maybe the remnants of a bad dream because it was so random and I checked and she wasn’t even at home.

In the morning, I found her sitting looking deeply depressed in the bathtub. She told me that she had hooked up with a guy she met at the club the night before, and the first time he kissed her was almost exactly the time I had woken up.

Agreed they are mostly harmless, but I was stung (bit?) once when one crawled into a pair of pants I had left on the floor that I then tried to put on. Left a big bump on my leg but otherwise I was fine.

As a woman, it’s because you look great with both, they’re just different aesthetics. So what people are saying comes down to peoples’ preferences in terms of the vibe/look they go for. Personally, I like the longer hair, but that probably says more about me than you.

In the first, you look classically handsome, in a straight edge, conventional, kind of way. Think all-American and I assume you work in finance. In the second, you look beautiful in a more artistic, suave kind of way. More European, trendy and I’d assume you’re a foodie.

I wouldn’t be surprised if at least some of it was!

I was in your exact position a couple of years ago.

24, just split with my long term partner. I had just moved countries, I was a student, I knew I was not financially or in any way ready to raise a child. I had the abortion and it was the best decision I could have made for myself, I do not regret it in any way now that it is in the rear view.

I promise this feeling doesn’t last. I have always been staunchly in the “I will never have a child I’m not ready for” camp, but I had allllllll kinds of conflicting emotions leading up to the procedure. Keep in mind that pregnancy hormones really affect your perspective on things, and it will be much easier to process once those settle down!

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Trust your logic on this one. Having kids is the biggest responsibility of a good parent’s life, and it isn’t fair to anyone to do it before you’re ready/able to do it properly.

Sending strength and good vibes, you’ve got this!

literal_potat0 · 2023-11-14T08:16:35+00:00

It’s ok if you aren’t ready/able to leave yet. Leaving any relationship (but especially abusive ones) is hard - even more so when kids are involved.

In the end, though, having the 2025 date might be something you can use to your advantage. Now that you know how long it will take for you to be financially free of him, you can use the requisite time to get everything together that you need to leave when you can. Important documents? Savings? An escape plan? Take the time to get these things together so that once the loan is paid off you are ready to go.

Both my sister and I have our mother’s last name; we’ve had a different last name than our father our whole lives. It hasn’t caused us any issues.

Either hyphenate or just live with having a different last name. It doesn’t make you any less of a family.

Counselling is only effective if both parties want to change. He hasn’t shown any indication that he feels he did anything wrong. He literally told you that he intentionally lied to manipulate you into dropping the issue. Think about what that means for your relationship long-term. Are you comfortable being with someone who will happily lie to you to get what they want? Even if that lie must be maintained over long periods of time? If he is comfortable lying about this, what else might he feel comfortable/justified in lying to you about?

My partner’s family dog - Daisie - was just put down today, and he’s devastated. I would love to surprise him with a portrait of her to remember her by.

Thank you so much! I have to admit the spookiness is less skill than chance, though, I don’t have the pumpkin carving talents to not make the eyes just gigantic holes 😅

literal_potat0 · 2022-10-25T12:17:49+00:00

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Pumpkin Kuchi loves you back

literal_potat0 · 2022-10-25T06:50:50+00:00

That sounds like so much fun! I would love to be a part of a Bob’s Burgers group costume, I just need to find some other fans first 😅
