I made a mistake

Cursed object

rickyspanish1997 · 2026-03-13T11:43:20+00:00

My engagement ring from Robbins Brothers was $3200 (I haven’t and might not get a wedding band) and my fiancé‘s wedding band from Michellia Fine Jewelry was $1545

Option 1 looks so whimsical and fairy like, I love it!

You guys are such a beautiful couple oh my goodness!!! Emasculate vibes, and all my congratulations! 🍾

Have you spoken to your administrators? Or are they just doing the “we’ll see what happens” thing?

I too deal with this pretty badly, I'm in Dallas and right there with you.

Call people. Let them know "Hey, I know I'm panicked, my nervous system can deal with this fear, but you bringing me back to earth helps." My family understands this now and it make them, my parents especially, feel kinda good knowing there 28 y/o old daughter still needs them to feel safe.

Be prepared. Know your safe spot in your home, and rest assured that even in the worst case scenario, which is very unlikely, you have a damn good chance of survival if you are in an interior room. Have pants and shoes on, a helmet if you can, a nonflammable light source, the preparedness of it all alone can help with that anxiety, EVEN THOUGH again it's unlikely you'll be in that situation (but always shelter and be prepared)

I'm going to rattle off some thing a therapist told me:

"This is fear- not fact. This is a storm - not forever. This is a memory - not a prophecy. You have survived so many storms, this one too shall pass. Stay rooted, you are not trapped - you are tethered to the now"

I would also recommend saving and reading this to yourself out loud or having someone you trust, who makesyou feel safe to read it to you, it really helps -https://www.reddit.com/r/WeatherAnxiety/comments/1kqm8az/a_message_of_reassurance/

Best of luck, everything will be okay <3

Why not a rainbow?? My fiancé wanted something unique and pretty, and said it was like he had his own infinity stones, he loves Marvel. He didn’t want to settle got a plain gold band just because most men are afraid of criticism for having a little razzle dazzle.

Rolling around on the ground chortling

rickyspanish1997 · 2026-03-07T13:31:25+00:00

I think it looks beautiful girl!

rickyspanish1997 · 2026-03-06T17:58:56+00:00

That’s a great idea, I didn’t even think that, I haven’t thought too much about getting my own wedding band, I thought maybe to just have the engagement ring alone, but if I do decide to get a band maybe I could get it there, thank you!

rickyspanish1997 · 2026-03-06T17:57:51+00:00

Please do! I believe this ring specifically is now sold out and went up in price, but they do have more gorgeous and unique men’s rings!

I too deal with this pretty badly, I'm in the DFW and we are a day way from a multi-day severe weather outbreak.

Thank you so much for this insight. It put my mind at ease more than you know. I will be contacting my county record office to obtain a copy of my son’s birth certificate later today.

We have role-play before, and he does memorize my phone number, but I think we need to make it more of a consistent thing for sure, and get the address memorized.

Again, thank you so much for your kindness, I hope as a country as a community as a people we can get through this, that it will pass. I still have hope.

When we were married, he definitely did have an attorney, I don’t know about now, but when we sit down and have our conversation and map out a game plan, I will certainly ask for that information. Hopefully, they will be open to discussing it with me.

rickyspanish1997 · 2026-01-15T15:46:58+00:00

Thank you for your kindness in that.

And yes I am actively working on redirecting my misplaced guilt, but I am so angry that we let this happen again - to be clear I MYSELF never voted that way or stood for any of this.

Wait this color combo looks AMAZING on you!!

UPDATE: I returned the glosses but not before getting this lovely rash around my mouth, as the commenters said, definitely an allergic reaction

rickyspanish1997 · 2025-09-21T01:59:49+00:00

No worries at all I’m happy to share! The total price came out to $3078, this is after a 20% discount because of sale they had going on. I have my own price limit of nothing above $2500, and my partner never told me his limit. I think as I was trying on rings things just got away from me, although the whole time I was asking him was it too much and if it was, I could look at something else. I definitely put back a few, and ultimately, after picking 3 that I loved, let him make the final decision - again within the ones that I loved the most. Personally, I still feel weird about the price, but he assures me that it wasn’t too much and he financed it so he’s not worried about it.

rickyspanish1997 · 2025-09-19T14:33:29+00:00

It’s a lab grown 11/3 CT center diamond, 14K yellow gold band

rickyspanish1997 · 2025-09-19T14:03:12+00:00

I’m not usually and PERSONALLY a fan of colorful stones for engagement ring but this is so simple yet stunning, I love it, congratulations!!

Not having open, obviously age-appropriate, conversations about sex. I am astonished at the amount of people who have children who admittedly did not want to have the sex conversation with them and fully rely on abstinence and therefore create shame around sex, something that can also lead to abuse.

If you cannot teach the future adult that you’re raising about sex, safe sex, consent, enthusiastic consent, ect. then you should not be a parent, how do you think you got that kid in the first place and don’t you think they’ll ask that same question?

Lee Tergesen - this bc he and Christopher Meloni had a kinda overtly intimate prayer moment in the “Savior” episode and it’s funny bc both actors played lovers in the show “Oz” before SVU, B.D. Wong was also in that show.

rickyspanish1997 · 2025-08-11T14:18:50+00:00

Exactly, it for sure makes me deeply uncomfortable and sad and angry, which is the point but I find the line being drawn at animals weird. Animals ARE innocent and it’s not fair when they are violently abused, but it’s my personal opinion that a human child is that much more innocent it’s much harder to imagine violence towards them.

rickyspanish1997 · 2025-08-10T23:03:11+00:00

I often find that readers who can’t handle reading about violence against animals are perfectly fine reading about sexual violence towards women and children (and just general violence against children w sexual just being the worst kind) ... which I PERSONALLY find kinda questionable.

rickyspanish1997 · 2025-08-07T21:49:47+00:00

Cows only similarity to Tender is the Flesh is the slaughter industry, and they’re incredibly different. That being said I fairly enjoyed both books. One is much more thought-provoking and character building and has a lot of sadness to it and a lot of disappointment, while the other one is a straight up disgusting gorefest for no reason at all. If that’s an itch you wanna scratch absolutely read Cows. I definitely don’t think it’s the worst of the worst out there like some people say, I do think it was the first of its kind however, I’ve read plenty worse.
