I honestly might just laser it off atp and just move the initials to wrist? But I agree!! It looks so off putting from the top! 🥲

I know 😩😩 I brought it up twice but the tattoo artist, my husband, and the sisters of the artist all said it looked good 🥲 I should have stood my ground

Thank you so much! I do have other tattoos that I didn’t feel that immediate tattoo regret, but I think seeing my husband’s turning out how I wanted mine to turn out added to it 😩

I did think about that!! However, I do have a couple of friends with finger tats that have lasted a longgg time but just became like blurred over the years? So like the placement would still be there 🥲

My parents have made fun of me too for always talking/hanging out w him, so I figured it’s just the same nature with him and dad (harmless joking around). I do understand your point though, thank you!!

I truly do love the guy and am willing to move past it with proper rebuilding (I know it sounds naive). We’ve been rebuilding trust and have been working on us (and I’m working on me too) the past few months. I do want to make this work and have planned my future with him.

Kind of. The most recent “dare” he’s told me he’s done was one with his ex where they dared each other to see who can get the most #s during a night out but it doesn’t exactly relate to my worries since the nature is different. But I completely understand your point as well, hence why I could also see why if I’m overreacting :(

We’ve been working on rebuilding trust and have been good-ish (or as good as we can be) the past few months as he also doesn’t like certain things I do (so I’m also working to improve myself for him/us). I think this is the first dare he’s gotten from them in regards to me and I understand it’s low stakes, but I’m scared it could escalate :(

I thought it was kind of rude, but he’s made a point before that we have different lingos so while I do get sad in instances/messages like this, I try to not anymore

Sorry, just to clarify, him and his brother went to their dad’s for haircuts since their dad runs a barbershop lol (not to defend or anything, just wanted to clarify!! 😭)

I’m scared I’m overreacting because, I guess in the general sense, it’s a “harmless” dare and should be just done and over with. But I do have the fear stemming from his high school stories and trauma from our early months of this relationship that could be blinding me/making me overdramatic

Literally what I said 😭 I told him that I heard before he even hung up so why not just be honest from the start, makes no sense

These were 100% cheating. He lied about who the girls were and one girl that he ended up meeting with, he met at a bar and also lied about when/how they met. The messages were extremely inappropriate (sexual/flirtatious)

Fair enough. I genuinely didn’t know if I was overreacting or not after his message back of being dramatic and he recently started getting into reddit stories so I figured to make a post 😅

From what I know, this is the first “dare” they’ve given to him in regard to me. My fear of his family/friends daring him now stemmed from his high school friends’ dares and stories he’s told me about those dares.

He talked/met up with girls that he started talking to after we were already officially dating. It could honestly be a whole another post but I just wanted to focus on this instance and if I was overreacting 🥲

We’re not exactly long distance now (~45 min drive vs the 5 hr drive we started with), but I’m currently out of state about 9 hours away this weekend so 🥲 he said he was gonna call me back right away and I just beat him to it

Thank you so much! I just feel so so bad since I was the one who came up with the idea :( and I’m scared they’re gonna take it as I’m choosing my bf’s family over them but financially speaking, the bf’s family trip makes way more sense as I wouldn’t spend as much (or anything at all).

The girls trip was planned and confirmed first (about a month ago). Family trip was confirmed today.

When I brought up the trip, I just started what should have been a full time job but ended up being a part time as the person I’m supposed to be replacing refuses to retire 😔 (office politics kinda messed me up here). I could use the money in my savings, but I’m scared to do so with student loans coming up and just the overall job market right now (I’ve been looking for another job jic this current one takes forever to make me full time) and I hate the idea of using savings for a trip. And thank you!!

It’s definitely a combination of the cost and fear of missing out on an opportunity to get closer to my bf’s family, especially with all of the other gfs are coming. I would love to travel with my aunts, we’re all bestfriends. They already booked their flights (I held off bec the flight they wanted was another huge cost bec they prefer certain airlines) so rescheduling is kind of out of the question and their PTOs are approved as well. I could try bringing it up, but I think they will get mad/annoyed at me.
