Belated congrats K! Italy sounds like a perfect honeymoon destination. And so happy for you @theladye. He sounds like such a sweet and thoughtful guy.
Soo my friend and his girlfriend broke up on the last night of their trip. Then they had to fly back together. Then because they drove to the airport together, had drive home together. Then because her parents were dogsitting their dogs they had to pick up their dogs once they got back. There’s never a good time to break up with someone but there are certainly better ones.
Similar to copa, my boyfriend finishes up his 9-10 months long project tomorrow and he will be back to his local “regular job” next week. He was more or less away for two weeks (work) and then back for two weeks (off). It was harder than I expected. I missed him. In a way I think our relationship grew more because we made the most of his time here. I also liked having time to clean, do laundry and meal prep haha.
So now we have to find a new routine. I think before we saw each other once during the week and then spent most of the weekend together. I’m not sure if we will do weeknight overnights. But I’m glad he’s back!
Just saw this now, I am so sorry Cleo to hear that. You made a tough but what seems right for you decision. I hope your new apartment search goes well. Agreed to focusing on school and making new friends that way. *hugs*
I never got used to after work dates since I’d be so tired, but the Friday or Saturday night dates would also be a bit of a signal for a first date too, because if it went poorly then it’d be a waste of the night. My favourite first date time was an afternoon Saturday date at a bar/restaurant as there were some light libations involved so it’s a little more date-y than coffee (yay daytime drinking). Of course that’s how I met my boyfriend so maybe I’m biased 🙂
I’m glad you had fun Ale with the past date. I’m sorry about your ex.
I guess he is living up to his namesake! AT stood for Awkward Texter right?
When I was single and still had Tinder on my phone, one match and I would message each other when a big sports event happened in our respective cities (matched when I was traveling but didn’t meet up). It was kind of pointless but fun and fizzled out.
I feel guilty even though I shouldn’t? My friend (well her friend) invited me to her bachelorette. It was a bit impromptu (two weeks notice) because my friend is having a very small wedding abroad. I knew it was an afternoon tea and dinner and I said I could go. When I got the email with details yesterday for the bachelorette this Saturday, turns out tea is at 1 and dinner is 8:30. Also the tea is more than I’d be comfortable paying. I guess people are going home to change but it’s basically a whole day affair. I know compared to weekend bachelorettes it’s not bad but it wasn’t what I was expecting (I guess more like 3-4pm? But I suppose we’d be full for dinner). I have a car appointment that I can’t really reschedule in the morning which is the lamest reason ever, but since I have to travel a bit, it might be tight timing wise too.
So I am going to the dinner and happily so. But I should want to celebrate my friend? I don’t think anybody’s in the wrong. The tea will be fun and it’s nice to have different options for people. But is it ok if I don’t go? I just feel bad now.
Ah interesting. Glad it went smoothly too. Are you nearing your one year anniversary? My bf and I actually did our first weeknight sleepover at his place too last week. It’s always been my place because of his work schedule being off. I took a long weekend off last week though so I stayed over the night before. He wakes up early so it’s probably a good thing for me haha. It was nice to “test drive” the route. It was obviously longer but ok. His place/neighbourhood is equidistant from our work places and the further he moves to where I am, his commute will “exponentially” increase whereas mine won’t. I really like where I am though and my commute is a breeze. Things to think about. We’ve never done a weeknight sleepover where we were both working.
How long ago did she set her date again? For what it’s worth, changing your date won’t set a precedent in the future. If you get pregnant before her, what is she going to do. She will be the irrational one if she is annoyed about something you more or less can’t control (like depending on fertility). But you can control the date, if you can use your deposit etc.
My brother is 35 and the woman he’s been seeing is 37 so I think all this is in the realm of possibility. I kind of think he wouldn’t even think or ask about getting married two months before me if I had the date set. Even by asking you’re hoping she’d say she was ok, right?
I’m not sure why I’d be annoyed but I would be. I think I’d be stressed out from wedding planning even if I had no role in his wedding. I’d get over it if need be but sure, I’d be miffed. (Also I think there might be cultural reasons that I couldn’t go to my brother’s wedding as it is too many good things—but that’s kind of silly).
And yet it kind of sucks if you really want a spring wedding, which I get? Just from an outside perspective, yeah, 6 months before or after does make things look better than two. Given the differences in the weddings I don’t think it’d be unreasonable to keep your date. But I do understand where the future SIL is coming from.
I’m not going to lie, if I were in her shoes with my older brother I wouldn’t love it but I’d get over it. But since that date has a special meaning to you, her wedding is a destination wedding so relatives wouldn’t be traveling twice to the same place for your weddings, those are extra reasons not to change the date even if it is irrelevant. How many relatives is she inviting to go to to Florida? Are you inviting the same people to your small brunch wedding?
Also—congratulations!
The sister in law… did you get married MissDre? Or did I just miss something? Oh is it your partner’s SIL? I think the photo gift is nice.
My boyfriend met my boss for the first time this weekend. It was actually pretty nice, heh, but we were a little nervous I guess.
Belated congrats Hizzy!! Just MH now?
Also congrats Cleo!! So excited for you!
That is beautiful Ver. Congrats!!!
The thread is four years in July I think? What is that human tears? A toddler or small child?
So happy for you MissD!! Is September the first time your mom is visiting you?
