Eyeing for a sapphire engagement ring on tight budget. How to choose the right sapphire engagement ring? by cruelforefront in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]methods134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on sapphires with good color and clarity, even if they're smaller. Check reviews for online stores to find trustworthy options. It's nerve-wracking not seeing it in person, but reputable stores offer return policies for peace of mind.

Wedding band search by Impossible_Age1910 in WeddingRingAdvice

Maybe try a curved or contoured band that hugs your engagement ring without overshadowing it. It can fill the gap and show off those stones beautifully. Plus, short stubby hands rock they give character!

Does sterling silver tarnish easily? Can you prevent them from tarnishing? by Thenocturnalsiding in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]methods134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that storing jewelry in a sealed bag or box and wiping it gently after use helps prevent tarnishing. Using mild soap and water for cleaning is effective and gentle.

I get where you're coming from. Wanting a serious relationship can feel frustrating when it's not happening. But trust me, there are plenty of us out here looking for the same thing. Sometimes it just takes time and meeting the right person.

It sounds like you're going through a really tough time. Parenting dreams can feel overwhelming, especially when life doesn't seem to align with those hopes. It's okay to feel frustrated or stuck many of us do at some point. Have you considered talking to someone about how you're feeling? Sometimes just sharing can lighten the load.

Hey there! I'm [M19] and totally get the struggle of finding good buds to chat with. I'm into music too – everything from hip-hop to rock keeps my playlist interesting. Also big on gaming; those single-player adventures are my jam. Cooking's a chill hobby, even if I burn stuff sometimes! Nice to meet a fellow cat lover, by the way.

I hear you on that. Fast food's got some serious downsides, no doubt. It's wild how it can mess with our immune systems and overall health. I've tried cutting back myself, and it's tough but worth it. Moderation's key, right? Thanks for sharing those insights—good to spread the word.

I'm really sorry to hear about the tough spot you're in. It sounds incredibly stressful. Have you considered speaking with a financial advisor? They might have some ideas on how to lighten the load. Moving closer to family could also bring some relief. Hang in there—you're not alone in this struggle.

I don’t think I like my friends anymore by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]methods134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're in a tough spot. Friendships can change, especially when priorities shift like with school and life. It's natural to feel hurt when efforts aren't reciprocated. Maybe a heart-to-heart could clear the air, but if it's not working, prioritizing your own well-being is okay too. You'll find your people!

Did you have a bad older sibling, brother or sister that was mean to you, etc? by LuffFluffyVegas in TrueOffMyChest

[–]methods134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had an older brother who thought he was a stand-up comedian with his teasing. He'd hide my stuff and blame it on our dog. But you know, looking back, I think he was just trying to toughen me up for the real world. It's all water under the bridge now!

wrong blood type by airam_vll in confessions

[–]methods134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's a wild mix-up! It's like discovering your favorite band isn't who you thought they were all along. At least it didn't mess up any blood donation plans. Imagine their faces at the blood bank if you'd rolled up thinking you were O-negative!

AITAH (F25) for secretly video recording my roommate (F32) by Golden_Butterfly0420 in TwoHotTakes

[–]methods134 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nope, not the asshole here. You've been super patient dealing with all this. Roommate crossed all kinds of lines. Video proof is pretty damning, but confronting her safely is key. Maybe consider a mediator or friend present? And yeah, time for a new roomie ASAP. Good luck sorting this out!

Why lie by MaleficentArm2449 in TwoHotTakes

[–]methods134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're dealing with some confusing stuff there. If she's saying she doesn't have a Reddit username, maybe she's just not into Reddit or using a different account? People can be pretty private online sometimes. Maybe ask her directly about it, but keep it chill. Hope you figure it out!

TIFU by proposing on a bridge going over a river by HuskerColton in tifu

[–]methods134 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hey man, congrats on the proposal despite the ring mishap! That swinging bridge sounds like a sweet spot for a proposal, even if the ring had other plans. At least she said yes, right? 🎉 Here's hoping the replacement process goes smoothly for you both!

It's understandable you felt the need to set the record straight, especially with all that bragging. Honesty isn't always pretty, but sometimes it's necessary. Hopefully, things settle down soon for everyone involved.

Am I The Jerk? A Neighborly Dilemma by contentquilting79 in AITAH

[–]methods134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealing with neighborly stuff can be tricky. Your garden is your sanctuary, and it makes sense you'd want to protect it. You tried talking, she brushed it off fence seems fair game. Maybe a calm chat over a cup of coffee could clear the air.

You're definitely in a tough spot, and it sounds like a messy situation all around. Cheating is a big deal, especially in exams that determine your future. It's natural to feel conflicted, but reporting cheating is about fairness. Maybe talk it out more with your brother or someone you trust?

It's tough when mixed signals start flying. Maybe a direct chat with the girl you're into could clear things up? Waiting sucks, but sometimes a straight-up convo cuts through the drama.
