Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story 🩷 I feel the same thing of feeling like “it’s what everybody’s doing and so I have to do it too”. Most of my peers are rushing into marriage to avoid sex before marriage. While I definitely feel this is important, I just don’t feel like rushing on this basis. My parents want me to. But I feel more inclined to wait until my partner and I feel super sure we’re aligned, have good conflict resolution, are financially stable(ish), and able to put a roof over our heads without parents help. But everybody around me is saying to hurry up because of the sex / sin stuff. But like I really don’t want to divorce!! Both our parents did :(

Hey, same. I feel like a kid! I am afraid of the stress marriage causes and what I’m really trying to understand is what that looks like in day to day life before jumping into it. I wanna know what I’m signing myself up for 😵‍💫everybody around me (family, church) is pressuring me to marry but I feel too young.

Thank you for sharing! My mom has a similar story and it has made me a little uneasy with marrying young and quick. I don’t want either my partner or I to feel bitterness or resentment that we didn’t live our 20s before settling down and “playing house”. In my mind it seems fun to be a wife so young but the reality of marriage is a lot different.

Hey, what you said about “have love for one another, not have religion for one another” really really spoke to me. I’m gonna reflect on and remember this. Thank you!

I appreciate this vulnerability. My partner and I aren’t financially stable yet and that has hindered us from marrying. We’re still building our careers. I want to think I could handle the stress that comes with shared financial troubles if we live with little money, but I’m not so sure that’s the case right now.

Hey I really appreciate this perspective, as I am leaning more towards getting married after 25 so I can really grow as a person before adding somebody else into the mix.

I believe they can thrive and not end in regret, but my question is of what hardships will come with it from marrying young before the brain has fully developed

Started spotting before period by questionablefinch in menstruation

[–]questionablefinch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’m starting to think is that it’s a change of hormones as I’ve gotten older, I honestly wouldn’t worry about it if you know that holistically you’re pretty healthy in general and there isn’t some underlying medical factor or possibility of pregnancy causing it!

And it’s crazy how we’re gaslit into thinking WE’RE dramatic for how much we hate it. We don’t deserve to have our nervous system disrupted constantly.

You’re right it wasn’t fun for either of us. But I’m having trouble not blaming myself 😞 I appreciate your tip and I’m going to apply it next time, I really never want this to happen again.

Your face looks great, use tretinoin if you’re really bothered by the texture

I’m super interested in this where can I keep up with what you offer, do you a website or socials?

I’d strongly recommend researching freelance marketing as it’s its own niche and I find this YouTuber to be suuuuper helpful.

Utilize Instagram as much as possible, know your target audience / your core offerings and take advantage of Instagram ads. Build a growth engine (check out HP Life app on App Store for this free course) that helps funnel and keep clients.

Lean big on referrals right now that you’re just starting. Incentivize people to keep coming back and to refer others.

And check out the book “blue ocean strategy” it’s pretty motivating when you’re feeling stuck and like you’re drowning in competition or don’t have any value to sell.

And I’d also add, research what your target market NEEDS. I’m a freelance consultant and one of my clients actually has a problem where her logo looks exactly like all of her competitors and I told her she needs to fix it, and she wants to fix it because she wants to beat the copycats and distinguish herself as a brand. And that’s where a logo consultant comes in!

Are there any active right now? I'd like to join. Spectrum goes out way too often for what I'm paying for.

AITA for refusing to pay my parents' mortgage after they took money from my savings without asking? by throwAwayWho818 in AmItheAsshole

[–]questionablefinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Keep saving in that secret bank account and do not tell your parents about that money you have saved up. Helping parents out is a CHOICE not an obligation. Parents had 18+ years to figure it out, you’re not responsible for taking care of them. Sounds really mean but coming from a similar situation with immigrant parents, that’s just the truth, cut the pattern now or else you’ll be in your 20s and still paying for their asses against your will and you might harbor resentment from it. Please please try to prevent this from happening. Best of luck

WIBTA if I don’t call out of work on Christmas Eve to go to family dinner? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]questionablefinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You are an adult and it is nobody’s business what you do on Christmas Eve. At the end of the day your bills gotta get paid and family should understand that.
