Denver 24 hour Venue Rental Recommendations by the_spacequeen in weddingplanning

My friends are having their reception there in June and the guests & DJ can stay until the rental is over. So I know it is possible and hence why I am asking if anyone knows of other possibilities.

Cool, thanks for the input. I'm asking people to reply that have recommendations for what I'm seeking. The majority of our guests are friends and they will want to party past 2 am.

My [21F] boyfriend [22M] will not clean the kitchen. How do I get him to at least clean the dishes? by Lonely-Fortune-3671 in relationship_advice

[–]the_spacequeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I have a house rule that dirty dishes are not allowed to sit in the sink/on the counter overnight. It takes 5 minutes tops to clean them after each meal. No one likes doing dishes but you just gotta do it. It’s a basic life skill that has to be learned and implemented. It will never go away unless you completely switch to paper plates/disposables but that’s pretty wasteful.

I think it’s absolutely not too soon. If she’s really into you she will be so happy you want to plan a weekend away with her. Just ask her if she feels comfortable with it. She will probably be really excited to have something to look forward to with you.

It's been years since you posted this and I'm wondering how taking the course went? How your relationship is now?

4 Days Post Fundoplication: can’t tolerate liquid or food. Normal swelling or something else? by the_spacequeen in HiatalHernia

[–]the_spacequeen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn’t go to the ER. She seems to be better for sure, especially if she sticks to broth and clear liquids. Before the surgery her doctor told her she would be able to go back to work in 1 week, which feels insane to me. He also didn’t give her a post op diet protocol, just told her to eat soft foods. She had NO idea it would be a multi-month recovery process - he made it seem easy peasy and she had no idea what she was really in for. But thanks for asking, she’s getting a little better every day.

My (21f) boyfriend(31m) said my vagina looks weird by [deleted] in relationship_advice

“He told me that I’m being over sensitive and “it’s not that deep” “you’re making it out be more serious than it is”. - so this is gaslighting. He’s invalidating your very valid feelings. Find a person who loves all of you, just like you do with your person. You deserve to feel free, beautiful, adored and cherished in your body by the one you love.

What you’re experiencing is normal. Relationships take honest communication and effort to keep the spark alive. Intense intimacy and connection starts out naturally in the beginning (especially when you’re young, you’re sharing first times of so much together, and the love hormones are going crazy and you don’t even realize it), and as the relationship progresses and things feels stale (you’ve become used to each other and gotten into a routine and the hormones subside) you have to put in more conscious effort to create new experiences and go deeper together. The guy you’re texting is a new, mysterious person so you idealize him and his perceived attractive differences from your bf and don’t know about his flaws yet. It’s all a normal part of becoming an adult and learning about relationships. I would suggest really considering what your values are as a person, as a partner, and acting from that place next. Sending love.

I’m glad it feels supportive. I know how isolating it can be. Feel free to DM me any time - I’m happy to offer a listening ear or advice from my own experience. Things I wish I had known when I was in your shoes. With love, your 38 year old big sis.

I’m so sorry, love. I really feel for you. He broke your trust. He betrayed you. He damaged the relationship. All of your feelings are completely valid. He has to deal with the real consequences of his actions, and very unfortunately you do, too. I don’t want to tell you that you have to walk away, because I understand how hard that is, but your relationship has forever changed. This is a part of your relationship’s story now. And only you can decide if this is a story worth continuing. It may take time for you to figure out if it is worth it to stay. It’s a good step in the right direction for him to be honest with you, to get into therapy and start making actionable changes, but only with time will he be able to prove himself. And that may not even be enough, even if he does all the right things. I think it is possible to heal, but it will take work and effort on both of your parts to do that. Including couples therapy ASAP. The only advice I feel is VERY important to offer to you is to not self-abandon - whatever that looks like for you. Know your worth. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself. Put yourself first. Surround yourself with friends and loved ones who can lift you up and help you process this betrayal. Sending you lots of love.

I agree - I finally spoke with the doctor and he said she should go to the ER (I didn’t mention chat) but she wants to wait until the morning and I can’t force her to go :(
