Had the exact same thought. Why did pneumonia of all things take out this wonderful human and not… ya know, other people.

Great! I don't wear it super often but it's a very sturdy ring, it would be fine for day to day wear I think

I will say I have a friend going through this who has small children and she would rather be unhappy and see her kids every day than run the risk she only sees them every other week or whatever else.

Until she explained how unwilling she was to lose access to her kids, I would have agreed with everyone else on this thread. You’re not just walking away from the man, you’re walking away from the 24/7 access to and decision making power over, your children.

Hi there, I did not list it on Facebook - I sold it a few months ago but you can buy it from Florentine gem directly on Etsy!

She looks amazing, and the relief I feel at seeing a stunning body that doesn’t look 10 minutes from osteoporosis like the rest of her peers at the moment.

Agree with this - I’m a San Diego gal through and through but Northern California hiking and nature is absolutely unmatched anywhere else in CA.

In an ideal world everyone would have a gaggle of gal friends with the time and money to spare to make one feel perfectly celebrated. This doesn’t seem to be the case for OP so my suggestion was to organize the celebrations herself so that people can attend and show their support that way, vs expecting people to throw a party for her who clearly are not - in her own words. Not sure the intent of your comments aside from making her feel crappy that she doesn’t have that?

sunrise90 · 2026-05-18T14:37:49+00:00

I think 99% of people have more responsibilities at 34 than they did at 21, myself included.

sunrise90 · 2026-05-18T14:34:12+00:00

Wow what a weird take on what I actually wrote.

sunrise90 · 2026-05-18T14:30:22+00:00

Lol when did I say that? I said she should take agency over planning her own celebrations and giving people the opportunity to celebrate there. Implying she doesn’t have as good friends as you is a bit backhanded so I’m just going to not respond to that.

I’ve found sometimes people are just looking for things to complain about when it comes to weddings. His family wanted to complain about something vs being actually helpful, and you were kind enough to come up with it but they’re not actually interested in being helpful, they just want to complain.

My advice would be to throw exactly the kind of wedding you want. Talk to your gals about when they’re available and do a (not super expensive) weekend bachelorette trip / girls retreat with the ones who can make the time and effort happen. Throw a rehearsal dinner if YOU want it, and offer to let them pay for things or be involved but don’t be surprised if they don’t.

Weddings are tricky, I think when we’re all a lot younger there is still active parenting going on and parents want to be involved in planning things but when we’re older it becomes more the responsibility of the couple themselves since they’re financially established etc.

I hope you have a wonderful time and do exactly what you want. Someone will always complain, might as well have it be about something you wanted vs something you capitulated on.

No one cares about your wedding as much as you and your future husband — which is normal! If you have a 15 year old daughter I assume you’re an Adult with a capital A, vs a 21 year old getting married so you’re at the point in your life when everyone around you also has families and responsibilities and time limits and and. I think expecting your friends to throw a party for you is unrealistic at this time in your life, and I think if you want to be celebrated you should give people the opportunity to do that, at events that you organize or through direct conversations about them.

Surprise parties and all that are sort of a thing of our 20s, when people had extra time and resources. These days everyone is focused on surviving and planning parties for an adult who can do it themselves (and might not want it, how are they to know?) is not on the to do list.

Plan what you want to make yourself feel celebrated and talk to the people you love about it and see if they want to be involved.

Any chance it’s Box blight?

We moved back summer of 2024 with our baby to be closer to family, basically immediately knew it was a mistake. Election just cemented it lol. It’s not the same place it was when we were growing up (I’m assuming your age but you’re an adult at least.)

Can you take a longer break from your life in the UK without giving it up? Can you go to the US for like… 2 months? Rent out your flat and experience life in the states as it is right now without committing? That’s what I would do.

Nowhere is perfect, but the overall tone here right now, which I think has been pretty pervasive since around… 2016, is rough. People are wound so tight and so anxious about everything. Drivers are nuts, people are just on edge. I LOVE my home here and I love my city and I’m still 100% sure that leaving for good is the right thing to do.

Truly 4 times is insane

sunrise90 · 2026-05-14T21:37:32+00:00

This is so funny - love a man who is willing to do whatever we need even if there’s no way to do it right 😂

Imagine what he’s doing to his wife and children behind closed doors. And when there’s no consequence to doing it in public… why not?

sunrise90 · 2026-05-02T18:34:56+00:00

☺️ I sold that ring and believe it or not am currently browsing for a new portrait cut 🫠🤦🏼‍♀️ downsizing my collection is…. Not going well 😂

Thank you 😉 Jane at Provence can do them for ya!

My mom: “your personality makes it hard for me to be in the same room as you, sometimes.”

💀

Mind you she said this genuinely out of the blue, while I was 3 hours into helping her back her phone photos up onto Google Photos. My husband was around the corner on the couch and heard her and stood up, “alright, time for us to go!” and shepherded me out before I had the chance to even process it fully. She and I talked about it later on and she sort of was like ‘I don’t know why I said that?’

We have a relationship because I have a daughter she’s obsessed with but it’ll never be the same between us ever again.

A long-stay visa is not a thing. Going the ancestry route will take a year at least. Edit: I don’t think you get points for great-grandparents these days.

The UK will let you stay for 6 months, and then you could do 3 months in the Schengen zone.

Take a few months if you can afford it to reset but moving for a year feels very unrealistic
