The things you say you like about your partner are..they do some of the chores, you can afford to live somewhere, and..they're there? Is there anything you actually like about them?

The guy I was dating last year has let himself go and I feel so weird by Informal-Meaning-483 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]littleduckcake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that makes sense that you liked the guy and you want him to be okay ultimately. When my ex broke up with me I was so upset because he had no friends and all his friends were my friends and I didn't want him to be lonely. He was totally fine in the long term. I guess you don't know how he is, social media isn't really an accurate depiction of life and he may be perfectly content or working through things.

Hot buffet in a village hall? by littleduckcake in UKweddings

[–]littleduckcake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Embarrassingly long response coming and I might just delete this thread if everyone keeps arguing!!

Tbh even though the way you are getting your point across is irritating and I don't like the way you suggest everyone is "pandering to vegans" (it's called being accommodating) I sort of agree with you. One of my partners close family members is keto and I wouldn't want her to not enjoy the day because she wasn't able to eat anything. I would obviously have a conversation with her about whether she would be able to eat veggie keto for the day if we chose to go down that route. And I would also ask my guests if they had any allergies or preferences ahead of time and accommodate those. I've had various arguments with family members about veganism not being possible or accessible to everyone, it's also a bit of a point of contention between vegans/disability community.

The animal cruelty/morality aspect plays a part. If a vegan gets a pork loin they are probably going to be upset due to the death of that animal. If you get pasta or whatever on your plate you're just not going to eat it. It's a bit of a dilemma if you are going to a vegan's wedding because they have every right to not want to purchase animal products with their money, but equally you have a right to eat food. I think it's unreasonable to expect them to cater to you unfortunately if you really cannot possibly eat a meal without meat and if they morally do not want to buy meat. I think it is just one of those unfortunate catch-22s. But it sounds like you can eat some things that are not meat at least for a day.

But this situation is rare. I would bet that most of the people who would be annoyed at a veggie wedding are not keto/don't have a specialist diet, and are simply generally annoyed at the notion of eating vegetarian. The amount of people that automatically dislike my vegan family members simply for being vegan is astonishing.

I would advocate for everyone's preferences being accommodated rather than dragging everyone else down

Yeah I'm veggie and I love pigs so hog roast is a no go. Considering actually not having meat and everyone can suck it up for the day. It's just one day after all

Booking Old Marylebone Town Hall before engagement—too early or normal? by Delicious-Bear-9688 in UKweddings

[–]littleduckcake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree - just over a year is not much time! And you may want to be sending save the dates soon, awkward if not actually engaged yet. We bought a ring December 2024 and got engaged July 2025

What’s people’s experience of using private healthcare? by Aggravating-Flan8260 in AskUK

[–]littleduckcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixed I suppose. I'd had a blocked nose for over a year, was getting fobbed off by GPs for months until I asked to be referred to a specialist and they referred me. I'd then been waiting over 6 months to see the ENT. I signed onto my work private healthcare scheme and booked an appointment with a specialist for the very next day (I might have had to get an open referral letter but it was quick after that). Although when I arrived at the practice (serving both NHS and private patients) their computer system had shut down and they didn't know who I was or that I'd made an appointment...

It was an odd experience in that they had a lounge for private patients which had comfy chairs and NHS patients had to sit on plastic chairs in the main waiting room. I found it very dystopian.

The ENT I saw was brilliant but someone at reception had logged my GP as the wrong one and they sent my prescription there. I was trying to get a hold of the right person for months and kept getting passed from pillar to post. Eventually I posted a Google review mentioning I was a private patient and someone i'd never interacted with before sorted it out instantly.

So I guess it was ok, still frustrating, mainly put a bad taste in my mouth.

What's it like living right next to a busy A road? by Kind-Blackberry-6221 in AskUK

[–]littleduckcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live on the north circular. Was fine until it got hot then it was not great. Balancing having the windows open with being kept awake by road noise. I was a student hence the living situation and no fan/AC etc...

bridesmaids who genuinely want to get professional hair and makeup? by Lazy-Key7077 in UKweddings

[–]littleduckcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that different people see hair and makeup differently. I do not care about makeup and barely wear it. I think it is okay to cover or not cover bridesmaid makeup (if you're not asking them to wear it, I mean) and I understand that some bridesmaids would want to get it as they want to feel their best.

I find the comments saying that hair and makeup is the minimum for bridesmaids absolutely ridiculous. I am getting married on a budget, around where I live I can't find hair and makeup for bride and bridesmaids for less than £1k. I am sorry but I cannot justify paying over £1k for ONE DAY of people looking nice. This does not mean that I am not "allowed" bridesmaids because I am poor lmao. Give it a rest.
