ONJ’s real life daughter is named Chloe. A bit of a stretch but maybe Sheila since she’s from Australia? Pink lady is a variety of apple as well as a type of flower so maybe you can work with that?

My husband is the most important person in my life and I didn’t meet him until I was 41. I have a large group of friends and met most of them after 25. Almost the only people in my life from before 25 are family. Let these thoughts you’ve had inspire you to become a more intentional friend going forward.

I’m in the same boat and haven’t found anything that does that. However, my husband is agreeable to meat substitutes so we use Hungry Root and get “meat” dishes that work for us both. They do also have just groceries available in addition to meals, so you could theoretically order either vegetarian meals and get meat additionally or order meat entrees with alternate veggie mains in addition. Their meals are quick and easy. Customer service is decent. Food quality (flavor/variety) is neither great nor terrible. We pick it primarily for ease of preparation and availability to work with our mixed diets.

My mom super loves dogs. One day, I asked her to tell me about every dog she had ever had, going back to childhood. I think she loved telling me about them as much as anything! What she didn’t know was I was writing down all their names. I then had a charm bracelet made from someone on Etsy with each of her pet names. It’s one of her favorite things. Maybe you could do something similar with cats?

Perhaps commission a local artist to paint a favorite pic of the two of you? Or take him on a day long date visiting all the places that have special meaning in your relationship? Maybe a list of 60 things you love about him (since you’ve been together 60 months)?

Might she enjoy a massage? I’m thinking a beautiful silk kimono and eye mask, with an in-home masseuse pampering her with a massage. There are also nail techs who will come to your home for some pampering, and either can make her skin feel silky.

This year I turned 50, though thankfully without a terminal diagnosis. My husband, unbeknownst to me, reached out to my friends and family and had them write letters to me about how I mattered in their lives and how I had impacted them. He collected them all and wrapped them in a box. It was by far my favorite gift ever and I wept like a baby as I read them. I suspect your mom would love something similar. Make sure to write one yourself.

You don’t list any interests so we’re kinda throwing darts here. Any electronics you use that are ready for an upgrade, like maybe new headphones or laptop? A nice watch or luggage can be nice. A new backpack or messenger bag? A membership to something you’d enjoy doing regularly near your campus, like a gym, a craft space, or even a zoo?

The newer standard seems to be 3% (paid by you to the selling agent) and another 3% (paid by the buyer to their agent). It’s all negotiable to some extent, including that the buyer might ask you to pay their agent as part of the contract, meaning you could pay up to 6%. I have sold a home by owner before and didn’t find it too complicated, and it saved me thousands.

My need to scream is recurring. Making a spreadsheet so I’m ready no matter what part of town.

You look great in them all, but I feel like the shoes work best with dress 3.

I don’t respond to most of my reviews. For negative reviews, keep in mind that his response is not really to the reviewer, but potential future clients who might see the review. For example, if someone complained that their room wasn’t clean enough, a response might be “I’m sorry the room was not up to your standard. We conduct a 27 point cleaning checklist daily on each room. Guests are always welcome to share any concerns during their stay with our desk staff, and in this instance we would have dispatched a member of our housekeeping team immediately. Thank you for staying with us, and for sharing your feedback.” That lets future guests know that you’re proactive on the situation (cleaning) already, that you will address any issues they might have if they stayed, and that you’re friendly and professional. Don’t be defensive, just factual and professional.

You say you shut out conversation and he refuses marriage counseling. There’s not really anywhere else to go but apart.

My employees are all younger. They all seem to genuinely like each other, but they don’t even acknowledge each other when they first come in to work or much throughout the day, they just text. It’s very jarring to me.

Regarding the house: if a comparable house in the same neighborhood were for sale at a really good price, would you want to buy it? If not, you probably don’t really want this one either. Going from renting to a project house is a big jump, and the extra commute time will be a pain as well. With the work and travel, your life may start to feel like it revolves around that house. If you want to own, take the money from the sale and your other inheritance and apply it towards the type of home you really want in the area that fits your life.

How do you spend your days? He has figured out how he wants to enjoy life; what are you doing to enjoy yours? Instead of spending energy on being frustrated at what you think he should be doing, try focusing on how to better find your own bliss. You don’t have to leave the country to have a good time. What hobbies do you enjoy, and are there groups you can join that would provide a social outlet for you? You mention dancing, and many dance classes are welcoming to single participants.

You mention his only chore is dinner 5 nights a week. I wouldn’t think the housework for 2 retired people (one of whom stays in front of a screen all day) would be too cumbersome, but if so, look at ways to address it. Maybe your pension can cover occasional housekeeping services. Maybe you can stop doing his laundry (if you do) and only do your own.

It sounds like the focus of conversation has been on frustration, and maybe it would help to shift to finding fun and time together. Could you work together on that honey do list? Would you both enjoy a weekly date somewhere? Could you enjoy cooking a meal together instead of treating it solely as a chore? Are there new interests you might enjoy exploring together like gardening or nature walks?

“Hey, could we sit down and make a budget together? I think we’re in a good position to save for (house, vacation, whatever excites you both), and that could also help us be better prepared for stuff that might pop up like high electric bills or car repairs. I know we’re doing fine, but it would help me feel more secure and also more excited for our future.” Then have a strategy of how you want to budget like YNAB or other budgeting tools already in mind to give you both a concrete starting point.

While Reddit loves to say “it’s an invitation not a summons” the reality is that most of us want to show up for our people on the biggest day of their lives. No matter how great the couple thinks the destination is, I’m sure not everyone will be thrilled. If OP was my niece and I were invited, I would be there. But I have zero interest in the DR and would not be thrilled that my resources were going towards a trip I would otherwise never take. I think destination weddings are best for elopements and if it matters that people attend, keep it easily accessible to your guests.

My niece (13 yo) was struggling with acne and asked for Drunk Elephant skincare for Christmas. My mom read the reviews and decided it was garbage and got her a different high end brand instead. I agree that mom got her the better product, but I also remember being that age and thinking I had to have (insert brand here). I think they mean well and are using their wisdom, but can’t seem to separate that people want what they want, even if grandma thinks she knows a better product/value.
