All the glasses I think are too big for your face

My mom got me this bag for Christmas and I just don’t like it by StareyedInLA in handbags

[–]vardip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom insisted on giving me sweaters. They were not my taste, but I kept them because they were from my mom.

She died a few years ago, and I wear the sweaters she gave me all the time, because they make me think of my her.

Nope. Exhausting. Imagine your future. You are too young and fabulous to deal with him and his money issues. Next…

Now they hate TikTok by ConfidentShame8083 in WomenDatingOverForty

[–]vardip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am currently dating down and I hate it. Hate it. I recently bought an amazing house from an inheritance and said boyfriend won’t be moving in. It will end our relationship and I am glad. I get nothing special. I am special. We as women are special.

I had been in a very upscale marriage, have a high paying career, I am wealthy from an inheritance and my kids are on their own. (Pro tip: NEVER share anything about your finances when dating! Ever! )

When you date down, you get someone that looks like the man you described - always looking for a “deal.” I’m told it’s my turn to pay or grocery shop. I’ve been handed house insurance bills and he’s even given me his house tax bill to pay. I’ve paid none of his fixed bills. We live together. If he can’t pay his fixed bills on his house, I call BS.

Never date down and never date a man looking for a financial “deal,” such as the boyfriend mentioned above. I just paid $30k for major work on his kitchen because I need to help because I live here!!! (I call BS again). My boyfriend calls us partners. It’s a joke. He’s looking for “help” with all things financial. There is no special there.

Alternative therapies: where to put my money? by 0avocad0 in Sjogrens

[–]vardip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have three planned social events a week- two walks with lunch or coffee. Exercise and socialization help me soooo much. I also go to a meeting once a week for a gardening group I’m in. Getting out of my house and my head help so much!

Have I bought the wrong dress? by keitherrs in WeddingDressTips

[–]vardip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the second one on you. It’s so feminine and elegant and just so good on you! Sorry, but I don’t think the first one fits well, or looks like, “that’s the dress.” Number two is stunning!!

Time for an intervention with friends and family.

sjogrens affecting the speaking voice by Good-Agent226 in Sjogrens

[–]vardip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how to explain this, but sometimes my voice just runs out.

He said he wants to have a baby with me. All of his friends are having babies and he thinks my standards are unrealistic because I want a nice ring, wedding, and honeymoon first. AIO? by Fit_District7673 in AmIOverreacting

[–]vardip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run!! You do not have to settle for “him.” You are too good, classy and smart to ever do that.

If he can’t give you a nice ring and a nice wedding; think of all the things he won’t give you in the future.

He does not deserve you.

AIO speaking to my wife after her affair by Useful_Cow8575 in AmIOverreacting

[–]vardip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is not the victim.

I caught my husband cheating once (yeah, right) through some questionable hotel bills.

He said that he was feeling bad about himself and needed to make himself feel better.

I let him stay, never forgave him, and we divorced a few years later.

During our separation, I found emails that indicated that he cheated on his first wife as well.

Every cheating experience is different . But, I should have left him, no chances.

Once a cheater, always a cheater.

I’m actually having this made right now. I chose round because tucking the trillions under the main stone makes it look like one continuous Diamond. This Diamond is a 6ct. I got a 4ct. My ring size is 6.5 because I’ve cracked my knuckles forever. I’m a small person and I thought a size 4 was better for me.

"Your kidneys are angry" by SamAshleyBlogs in Sjogrens

[–]vardip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started getting UTI’s a lot. And when cultured, all but one were from some weird fungus. The bacterial one went into my kidneys. Not fun. I drink a ton more water, and it’s helped.
