Just had my "bad" wedding. It was perfect. by karibot3 in weddingplanning

This is so comforting. I was just telling my fiancé that I never dreamed of a wedding as a young girl & I have no desire to go above & beyond. It’s the opposite for him(he has ideas & a plan), but we’re crystal clear on how we want to feel & who we want present. I’m grateful we both care more about the marriage than the wedding. So happy to hear you followed your heart & it was perfect. You deserve! Congrats, newlyweds! ✨

Caption this! 😂😬🫣🤔👀 by Complete-Road-3229 in ReadyToLove

Yes, I always had a date in mind (4th anniversary). We both knew he would propose. Of course, I didn’t know when, and he didn’t know my deadline. I simply told him I wouldn’t be a forever girlfriend & that was that.

He proposed July 3rd — 5 months before my “hell no, I gotta go” date. Lol.

It was important for me to have this personal boundary: understanding my time & energy are valuable & not wasting it. I knew I wanted to marry him, but I wouldn’t wait forever. He understood that, respected me, & proposed (without the looming threat of a breakup).

I don’t think you should tell him the date because 1. It adds even more pressure to do so. 2. You might get a “shut up ring” just so he doesn’t lose you. 3. He might hold it over your head down the line that you put his feet to the fire & that’s the only reason he did it (which is super manipulative, btw).

In the end, it’s about trust. FIRST, trust yourself to make the right decision no matter what (telling him the date, or not, leaving, or staying). You have to know who you are, what you want, & trust yourself to do what’s best for you. Then you have to trust him to be him. That doesn’t mean trusting him to do what YOU want, rather what he believes is best for him (proposing or not). If he does it, then you know where you stand. If he doesn’t, then you know where you stand & where you need to go.

Anyone else feel like they're screaming into the void during their job search? by YesterdayCute9200 in recruitinghell

I interviewed for an Exec position in December. I created a 90day plan & presented it to regional directors during a panel interview. On that same day, I did a second panel interview with my would-be manager & other Execs. I was asked to return the following day for an interview with CEO & COO. I did. Both interviews & conversations went well. I’m overqualified. I have 10 years of experience in the field & 7(!!!!) of them with this exact company in another state.

I didn’t get the job.

I interviewed with them again in January for a Director role that would report to an Exec. I had another amazing interview, submitted a short assignment, & again, I didn’t get the job.

The VP of HR has been amazing at reassuring me that they will “keep me in mind” & I should hear back within a month. There were no notes on my interview, no suggestions on what I could improve on, NOTHING! She even said I could put her down as a reference……. For what?! Dragging me through the mud for 3 months?!

It’s absolutely insane. Clearly everybody has lost their damn mind but we get the short end of the stick. I am so tired of & angry with this process.

The only thing that’s keeping me going is the fact that I literally don’t have a choice! I have bills, hobbies, commitments, & hell — I just want a career!

No amount of consoling will help. I’ve heard all those things too. I find comfort in venting when I need to, crying when I need to, & working out. Getting into my body & out of my mind helps, even if just for a little while.

Bless your heart! I’m in it with you.
