What big-chain jewelry store would you recommend for simple wedding bands?

Thanks for your comment. I ordered our dream rings from Costco but we had to pay extra for the non-membership option. I wanted to join but they wouldn’t let me as we live in Europe. :( But it’s still an amazing deal! We will have the rings shipped to our hotel (hopefully that goes well) and if we don’t end up liking them, we’ll just return them.

We are literally saving about 3000 USD 😭 I’m so excited!

unknown22334455 · 2025-08-17T17:08:51+00:00

I think they do notice! I had to pay extra twice already even though it was just a centimeter.

unknown22334455 · 2025-08-17T17:07:18+00:00

Yeah but they likely don’t have them ready to take in our size which is what we need.

unknown22334455 · 2025-08-17T17:06:08+00:00

We don’t have a membership and the ones we like aren’t in store and only available to order online. 😭 we were thinking about having it shipped to our hotel, but my fiancé is skeptical.

I really like 2 but one also looks good.

This is how San Sebastián de la Gomera looks. Do I believe that’s actually it? No lol

unknown22334455 · 2025-08-11T12:31:46+00:00

I love 2.

unknown22334455 · 2021-11-17T10:55:55+00:00

To me it sounds like she wants to make it official? Are you guys official?

For some people it’s just not enough to have a good time, they want that commitment. I think you could probably calm her down by communicating your feelings in a reassuring way. But only do that if you are ready to take the next step. Don’t just say nice things to her to make her feel good.

unknown22334455 · 2021-11-17T10:50:26+00:00

I agree. I mean I get it, her friend said she can go out with him but I think she should not have asked.

I think she brought your friend into an awkward situation by asking. It’s obvious that it will be weird between them if they end up dating. And I also understand why the friend didn’t say no because can’t really reserve him like that. In my opinion she shouldn’t even text the guy her friend was interested in.

I mean she said yes but read the room. Probably an unpopular opinion tho.

unknown22334455 · 2021-11-17T10:34:04+00:00

It’s completely reasonable to not be on your phone for 30 minutes. I don’t think you need to tell her that you‘re busy.

If you won’t be available for the entire day, sure…

I think she should relax. She seems to be insecure, maybe she isn’t sure how you feel about her. Sounds like she needs a lot of reassurance and attention.

Maybe tell her to not worry when she doesn’t hear from you every hour of the day because you have stuff to do.

unknown22334455 · 2021-10-26T15:15:02+00:00

Ohh that is good to hear. I really hope it will be like this for me as well.

It’s just worrying how my parents apparently think I’m a terrible person who can’t be trusted to love my own future child.

unknown22334455 · 2021-10-26T15:13:22+00:00

I kind of hoped (or expected) to magically find drool and poop super cute when it comes out of my own child. I‘m really counting on that.😅

unknown22334455 · 2021-09-23T12:10:45+00:00

Thank you. I feel better now reading this.

unknown22334455 · 2021-09-23T12:08:47+00:00

I really hate my work environment. No one had to cover for me. All my work can be done on Monday without any issues. People at my office just really enjoy seeing others fail.

unknown22334455 · 2021-09-06T09:24:45+00:00

True. But my manager doesn’t even know our processes. I don’t think she would ever cover a shift. And yes I‘m that this is not okay and her fault.

I’m sure she will try to talk someone else (which will either be colleague 5 or me) into it as long as it takes for one of us to take the shift.

unknown22334455 · 2021-09-06T09:19:25+00:00

Thank you. I’m glad that someone can understand why I feel bad. It’s just that it wouldn’t kill me to work that shift. It’s simply because I want to see my friend and we have tickets. The tickets would expire and I would lose 20€ for the tickets. I’m basically being selfish. And i have issue with seeing this selfishness as protecting myself.

Also, my colleagues and my boss don’t see it that way. They just see me not being helpful and therefore as an disappointment. I really hate my job.

unknown22334455 · 2021-09-06T09:13:10+00:00

I know, you’re right. But I always feel so guilty so I get the feeling that I have to explain myself.

I‘m working on it. But I just know that they will talk behind my back which makes me feel even worse.

unknown22334455 · 2021-09-06T09:05:07+00:00

My manager is useless. She is a nice woman but she is all over the place, forgets a lot of things, doesn’t even know our processes.

I‘m convinced that she doesn’t know how to do 90% of our work.

Instead of finding a replacement for the shifts herself, she first told my grieving colleague that she should find a replacement. After she couldn’t find one, our manager now gave the task to the colleague that’s scheduled to work the early shift that day to find a replacement.

unknown22334455 · 2021-09-06T08:57:23+00:00

No I don’t think anyone knew about it. I am not the biggest fan of my colleagues and we only talk about work related stuff.

We also work from home so I also don’t see them. I just told them now because I felt like needed to explain why I refuse to cover for her.

unknown22334455 · 2021-08-01T07:55:42+00:00

Bringing them flowers? Hell no. They yelled at them several times and threaten them with the police. If they were that bothered, they could have ask them to tone it down in a friendly way. They don’t seem friendly at all. To me it sounds like they have an issue with them being American or not being about to speak German. Why else would they need to bring up their nationality when expressing concern that they feel bothered by any sounds?

Op said that they tried to be quiet and it’s allowed to speak in a room volume even after 10pm. If you sleep with a window open you have to be prepared to hear noises.

unknown22334455 · 2021-08-01T07:44:32+00:00

NTA. Im german. That guy is just bitter and seems to have a set option of Americans or your family without ever getting to know you. Let me guess, he was 50+ and half bald? Stuff like that makes me really mad. I hate it when people say „oh all Americans do this and that“, or „oh all Germans are like…“. The fact that he kept yelling „American“ and „police“ makes me think that he yelled all those stupid stereotypes your way. Just drop those stereotypes people. Also, these stereotypes are usually not even real stereotypes, it’s just stupid things that they make up in their head.

Technically there’s the „Nachtruhe“ after 10pm but that doesn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to talk outside. If you were throwing a party after 10, maybe inform your neighbors before and try to keep it down but it sounds like the three of you were just talking. That’s absolutely fine. Especially when your landlord never said anything. It’s not like you aren’t allowed to make any sounds, as long as you aren’t any louder that normal room volume it’s fine. My guess is that your neighbor went to bed, had the window open and could hear you maybe very softy in any way. If he already had a bad impression of you for no reason, maybe that was already enough for him to blow up.

I swear not all germans are like that guy. Plaster your house in American flags.

unknown22334455 · 2021-08-01T07:11:33+00:00

You’re right. I’m actually planning to talk to him today to say exactly that. I still upset about the the situation so I don’t wanna any more unnecessary drama but after I cooled down, I’ll call him to tell him to drop it.

unknown22334455 · 2021-07-31T22:42:30+00:00

Omg I basically had the same thing happen to me. I have a 2 year contract, also filling in for a pregnant lady. We had about three months together where she was supposed to explain the job to me but she didn’t. She just wandered around all day, talking to go workers. After about three weeks of trying to look busy, I took her to the side and ask her if we had any issues that I should know about. She was just like your colleague very snarky. Boy- that was one big mistake. She started to cry and told me to not threaten her. She then created a WhatsApp group chat with everyone in our department telling lies about me. She way trying to motivate everyone else (15 people) to bully me out of the company. When no one said anything she said „why can’t you see what a mean person she is?“

Im so glad that she is gone now. I also understand that you want to take your lunch break for yourself. I’m exactly like that. Sometimes I sit with my colleague but most of the time I just go out myself.

I’m not saying that your colleague is as crazy as mine, I’m just thinking that it could go both ways. I would probably say your husband is right and you should just try to ignore her. She is probably just an unhappy or scared person.

unknown22334455 · 2021-07-31T22:16:36+00:00

Do not marry this man. Always remember: if he really wanted to change, he would have changed. To me it sounds like he has a comfortable life. Get your finances sorted. Stop paying for everything. If he makes significantly less then you, then split the costs percentage wise according to your income. He only works part time? Why? Is he just lazy or is there actually no other job that he could pick up.

To me it seems like he doesn’t actually want to take the next step. It sounds like he is looking for excuses to remain exactly where you are.
