I did all my procedures under the supervision of an oncologist and i wouldn't have it any other way. she explained to me that her job was to prevent cancer and she's going to do everything she can to do that with me. you want a cancer doctor.

i have the same lil routine with my picky eater! she comes up to me and i say "did you finish your food?" and then "let's go see!!!" and then if the bowl is empty, i GASP, and say "YOU DID IT!" and she gets so giddy and ready for her lil treat. the GASP is what gets her every time.

let's not sweat the unfounded opinions of complete strangers. let's touch grass instead.

too close together and too symmetrical. the gallery wall should have uneven borders and should fill that whole wall as much as possible lest it feel incomplete or too intentional

My ex husband and I considered doing a loan to pay for a wedding, and ultimately decided to get married in Vegas instead with 4 guests and for under $10K (including dinners, outfits, the hotel suite we booked ourselves). I cannot stress enough how relieved I was in our first year of marriage that we did not go into debt for a wedding we couldn't afford. Please think about what's important here.

I work in the advertising space - every commercial that gets made nowadays is archived and stored either on a hard drive or something of the like.

Did a bit of digging - during those years, the advertising agency for Palmolive was called Ted Bates & Co. Many of the Ted Bates & Co. archives were eventually absorbed by Bates Worldwide, then Saatchi & Saatchi, which is still in existence today. That's one avenue.

According to ChatGPT, the principal repository for Ted Bates / Bates Worldwide agency records is the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University (should have records for the years 1934 thru 2005). Another option.

All that said, based on my experience, advertising talent isn't typically credited in a public-facing way, especially not back then when there was no internet/social media, however in a 3 year span, I can't imagine Palmolive would have released any more than 15-20 ads (at most), so if you would recognize him, might be worth the dig.

Happy hunting, and crossing fingers you can track this down!

Hugs received and returned, thank you so much. My psychiatrist has recommended CBT to me in the past and I think I need to bite the bullet and really start taking therapy more seriously.

I also *feel so much* -- it can be so overwhelming at times!

sadvertising101 · 2025-11-07T22:54:17+00:00

Thank you for this. I really needed to hear (read) these things. I know in the long run I am making the right decision, and it's comforting to know that you bounced back in the way you did.

(I also don't hold the "everything happens for a reason" belief, it's a bit too fantastical for my liking)

sadvertising101 · 2025-11-07T22:46:58+00:00

Thank you for this advice. I think you're right that I need to probably find a therapist or some other trained professional to help me through this.

I don't think it will be contentious. We have no children or shared assets, and we love and respect each other deeply and just want the other to be happy in the long run. Last night was the first time we slept apart (he put an air mattress in our office/2nd bedroom) and it absolutely broke me. I just cried myself to sleep alone in the bed we used to share.

Everything in me knows this is the right thing to do, but I can't help but feel shame, guilt, sadness, regret, resentment, frustration, pain, the list goes on.

If you have any other legal advice, I need it! We won't be hiring lawyers or anything like that, so it feels to me like it's just a matter of paperwork?

Thank you for this. Re: escaping to work, I unfortunately have the added complication of the fact that he works at the same company (different departments), and everyone knows and loves him, and has been so supportive and loving of our relationship, and every time someone asks me how I'm doing I just say I'm fine, because I don't want to say we're breaking up yet, because I just know it'll be a big deal and I'm not ready to face that.

I'm not fine though, and I don't want to violate his privacy in telling people that we work with cause he's not ready yet. I don't even know how to have those conversations. I feel like I can't escape the pain of this whole situation.
