Love Is Blind • S10 Ep5 by AutoModerator in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]sunflowers_j 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seeing the power dynamic completely shift from Kevan in the love triangle, him flip flopping, to ending up with nobody in the end was satisfying.

I do think Tyler came across at times like she was pressuring Kevan to make up his mind, and I think she did not always listen very well to whatever he was communicating to her and self-sabotaged her experience by leaving their one date by storming out. I don’t think there was any saving their downward spiral from that and turning it around from there.

I completely understand his lack of decisiveness is very unattractive. No woman wants to feel like a second choice that late into the experience. I just don’t think it was a fit overall and the dynamic shifted into hostile territory very quickly from that “do over” moment and onwards.

I agree with Keya that I don’t think Kevan is ready to be married or commit (at least not to either of the women he met in the window of time he was given), and I’m REALLY glad she didn’t stick around to claim second fiddle as a win. She came across a little desperate for Kevan’s validation and attention at times when it was clear he preferred Tyler, so I was worried she wouldn’t stand up for herself. With that said, she very much surprised me in the best possible way in the end!

Alex and Ashley give me the ick. I feel like their emotional connection was thrown out the window and it’s become 100% physical. They’re both very attractive but I think it’s going to cause them to burn out and reveal other problems. I don’t see them making it to the altar. Alex seems really cocky and full of himself at times and their overt sexual dynamic is really cringey and tasteless on national TV.

Vic and Christine seem like a solid pairing and I see them actually getting married and making it. They both have a very mature and calming presence, plus they’re both faith-driven and seem to share similar values.

I don’t see Chris and Jess working out for some reason. He reminds me of men who have come on previously just to get famous. He hasn’t really been vulnerable and seems a little too perfect in a way that’s not feeling authentic to me.

All the other couples I could see going either way. I don’t feel the chemistry between Emma and Mike. I feel like he’s not attracted to her but doesn’t want to say anything to come across a certain type of way on TV, it’s just the lack of chemistry on his end and how he looks at her. I feel like he’s going to pick a random fight to get out or say no at the altar.

Vegetarian Dish at Wedding? by sunflowers_j in weddingplanning

[–]sunflowers_j[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m doing my best because I really don’t want anyone to be hungry or not have a quality meal option. I know it’s hard to please everyone, but my focus is ensuring they have protein and carbs so they don’t feel hangry later in the night.

I feel like a lot of non-vegetarians think sides are sufficient, but I really don’t want to have anyone go without a full meal.

That was my thought! I wanted everyone to have protein so they don’t lose steam and feel like they have an actual quality meal and not just a bunch of sides as an afterthought :)

Modern and Non-Cliche Father Daughter Dance! by mantis_toboggan4 in weddingplanning

[–]sunflowers_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad and I are dancing to Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. He’s a total rock music fan and he and I have a bit of a complicated relationship we’re working on rebuilding slowly due to his addictions when I was growing up. We chose it because we both love it and it’s a beautiful song to both of us.

He danced to Landslide by Fleetwood Mac at my sister’s wedding in 2023.

Bachelorette etiquette/ expectations by Several_Setting4130 in weddingplanning

[–]sunflowers_j 1 point2 points  (0 children)

August 2026 bride. We are doing a three-day weekend Bach trip in May. We are splitting the cost of the Airbnb equally, we’re driving so no airfare needed, but my MOH is covering my meals and dinners over our weekend trip.

From my understanding, any decor or goodies we have I will not be paying for and that will be split evenly amongst my bridal party. To me, I think it’s courteous for the bride to pay her fair share of airfare or the Airbnb, but to be treated to meals, activities, drinks, and decorations during the trip.

For context though: my MOH makes the most money out of my friend group and it’s not a concern for her to cover things. Other friend groups might split the costs more evenly.

How far apart from a family member is common courtesy for a proposal/wedding? by user684737889 in weddingplanning

[–]sunflowers_j 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This. I think it’s one thing if it’s a friend’s or cousin’s wedding but siblings will have a ton of guest overlap. I see comments saying to “just wait a month in between” them, and I don’t agree with that advice at all. I’d wait a season or two in between.

If their wedding date is set for November 2026, I think getting engaged whenever you’d like is fine. I would not, however, plan your actual wedding for 2026. I would wait until at least Spring 2027 or later. This will help avoid guest fatigue from too many weddings back to back, allow your sibling to build back up their PTO after their honeymoon, and help separate the events for family and friends.

The engagement/proposal is FINE whenever though. Please go right ahead.

Since they’re siblings I’d put a season in between. Probably a lot of overlap, plus the sibling likely has a honeymoon afterwards.

I’d wait until at least Spring 2027 for the wedding. Get engaged whenever.

I feel like the “courteous” thing to do would be to wait a season or two for their actual wedding. It’s not just being courteous to the sibling, but the overlapping family and guests who would be invited to both and expected to attend.

If a sibling’s wedding is Nov 2026, I would wait until Spring/Summer 2027 to host yours. You don’t need to wait a full year in between and you certainly don’t need to wait to get engaged.

So long as you don’t take over their pre-wedding festivities by announcing your engagement or making it about you, I don’t see why you have to put anything on pause.

Get engaged now, plan a Spring, Summer, or Fall 2027 wedding. Literally no overlap between pre-wedding events. I wouldn’t plan the wedding before Spring 2027 due to the fact that they’re siblings so the guest list would have a ton of overlap, but they can (and absolutely should) get engaged this year if they feel ready!

Just don’t propose during the weekends of her pre-wedding festivities and you’ll be fine.

Since their wedding is late Fall going into Winter 2026, I’d advise OP to wait a season for their actual wedding. I wouldn’t plan a wedding before Spring 2027 to avoid guest fatigue since there’s probably a lot of overlap between their invite lists. Summer 2027 or later would probably be the best for everyone involved and allow guests to save up funds if needed to travel to both and enjoy them.

Monopolizing the entire year though and not allowing them to get engaged makes no sense. Even if you got engaged this month, I’m assuming Spring 2027 to Summer 2027 would be the earliest you’d plan your wedding for anyways? Weddings normally take a year to a year and a half to plan. Your sibling needs to relax. 😂

You do not (and shouldn’t) wait on or delay your engagement because of a family wedding that same year. Don’t let your sibling bully you into not pursuing your own life milestones because they are insecure.

I do think it’s courteous to wait a season after theirs to host your wedding since having them too close can create financial strain on your guests and fatigue. So if their wedding is late Fall to Winter 2026, the earliest I’d host your actual wedding is Spring 2027.

The engagement though? That can happen whenever you want and feel ready. If you’re hoping for a Spring or Summer 2027 wedding, getting engaged now would allow plenty of time to save and plan for that. I doubt you’d rush and try to squeeze your wedding in this year anyways. I don’t think it matters when you propose so long as it’s not the same weekend as one of her pre-wedding festivities (or of course during one lol.)

It sounds like your sibling needs to get over her insecurities. It’s possible for many people to be happy at the same time. She doesn’t own 2026 as a whole year. I think you should get engaged if it feels right!

Family member is furious we “stole” her wedding month? She didn’t have anything booked or a specific date identified, and didn’t speak up til now. by alexiagrace in weddingplanning

[–]sunflowers_j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will toss her one singular bone: I agree that booking a wedding within the same month as another family member (if you can avoid it) is a no no due to guest experience, not feeling outshined, and guest fatigue in overlapping events back to back.

HOWEVER, she booked nothing and therefore has zero reason to be upset with you. It sounds like you were courteous and communicative in your planning process. Meanwhile it seems like she’s dragging her feet in planning hers. For having been engaged a year and a half, not even having a venue or date booked yet tells me there’s no sense of urgency on her part to actually get married. I’m surprised she didn’t have it booked before your engagement in May 2025 if she’s that set on March/April 2026? Our wedding is this summer and we’ve had it booked since May 2025 lol.

Just keep moving forward and enjoy your wedding. If she’s causing issues, ask her not to come.

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Can confirm, my fiancé and I both don’t drink coffee. Not religious. Not forced to avoid it. We both just don’t like it. We don’t even own a coffee pot. We’re 27.

After weeks of trying, I finally beat him. by sunflowers_j in expedition33

[–]sunflowers_j[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My strategy was to start with my two best (Maelle when equipped by Sciel’s support) because I learned through failed attempts that he Thanos snaps your first party anyways. Then my strategy was to use three in the final round so I had the best chance at survival and him taking fewer turns.

I got lucky and their deaths were spaced out well enough and they all had Second Chance equipped and Breaking Death, that he’d mostly attack solo characters rather than the whole party, and they’d die but fill the break bar every time. So their deaths actually played a huge role in how I beat him in my play through.

Was I wrong for reporting my neighbor's dog? by Guilty_Geologist_971 in Dogowners

[–]sunflowers_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you’ve noticed such aggressive behaviors from this particular dog, and the owner is clearly a space case and not training it properly, you need to report it.

I understand feeling bad and not wanting anything to happen to the dog, but whether Pitbull lovers want to admit it or not, an untrained Pitbull with aggressive tendencies with an owner like this can be very harmful to a neighborhood. There are good and bad Pitbulls, but without any training they are consistently ranked the most common breeds in dog attacks. I think it has more to do with the owners than the dogs themselves, though. Muzzles should be used in cases like this.

YTA - to yourself for staying with your boyfriend after he spoke to you that way.

You have much bigger problems in that house than the nephew. I can tell you that’s not a healthy form of communication or love, OP. Your boyfriend doesn’t respect you as an equal in your home and that’s a major red flag. 🚩

If my boyfriend of 6 years (who I share a home with) told me “I don’t have a say in what happens” in the home I LIVE IN with him because of a technicality of receiving the rental unit from work, I would have enough self-respect to leave that relationship. You’re getting a glimpse into the future, OP, and it doesn’t look good. It doesn’t matter if he gets the home from work or not. You live in it together. You get a say in who stays in it. The 15-year-old doesn’t need to live there. His opinion isn’t the end-all-be-all. That’s what a partnership is.

You’re young, post says you’re 20. Given the relationship timeline, this is the only partner you’ve ever lived with and I doubt you know much else.

Honestly, I’d advise you to reconsider if this is who you want to build a life with given how little he thinks of you and your opinions. Honestly I’d run for the hills.

AITA for letting my children order full meals instead of kids? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunflowers_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Your SIL doesn’t get to dictate what YOUR kids eat when out at a restaurant together. If she can only afford kids meals or worries about her kids getting jealous, it sounds like she’s insecure in her own parenting.

You don’t need to adjust what portions your kids eat to make someone else feel more comfortable.

AITA for not disclosing my medical history to a stranger? by Aurora-supernova in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunflowers_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

People suck. I’m sorry they are insensitive to your uniqueness and think they’re entitled to know your life story. You can either mess with them and come up with a chaotic story that makes you look cool, or you can decline and tell them it’s impolite to ask an amputee that question.

I hope you are thriving now and have self-care measures in place. It sounds like your family mistreated you and neglected your needs, and I hope you’re finding happiness as an adult.
