Anyone who says you are selfish for not having kids is insane…What’s selfish is them pressuring you to do it just so they can have a kid around but not have to be responsible for it. (Note that I don’t mean moms innocently wanting grandkids and being excited for the prospect…there’s a fine line between that and nagging about it/bring it up repeatedly after you state your wishes.)
I’d assume he’s either not a close friend but a hell of a good time. Either that or someone the future Mrs. disapproves of (which also probably means he is a hell of a good time.)
So last week I tried Smores (awesome), Cake Batter (also awesome) and Chocolate Almond Crunch (very meh.) Last night bought Salted Caramel (tried it and love it), Cookie Dough & Oatmeal Cookie (haven’t tried either yet. Very excited)
I wanna note that the BF ran out of his real ice cream and shared a good bit I promise I’m not housing 3 of these a week on my own.
First off–congrats on the weight loss. Over 80 pounds is a huge accomplishment, so that’s awesome. Second–screw you for getting me addicted to Halo Top. Just bought 3 pints last night.
May I ask how it was supposed to be interpreted? I’ve been trying to figure out in my head what the right way it was supposed to come out was, but I’m truly at a loss.

This still ended better for you than I expected it to…with the never blacking out usually and not remembering anything when you woke up I was scared this was roofie story.
Double date–once you start meeting each others friends and friends SOs it’s bound to happen. Try to sway her towards friends you find tolerable and aim for your friends she feels same way about (you will know.)
Sleepover–definitely don’t drastically cut back, that will seem shady AF to her. Nobody is the same so I don’t think there’s necessarily a normal, just do what feels right. Sometimes it takes a bit to get into your groove with that also. 5 days a week could be normal for you guys and stay that way, but most likely at some point 2-3 nights of those you won’t be necessarily hanging out the entire time, but just existing in the same place and doing your own thing quietly.
Sports–Pens/Crosby is absolute deal breaker for me. But that’s because I’m a Philly fan and we’re not going to talk about the Flyers right now…
Toothbrush–just do it, definitely not nearly a big deal as some people say. It’s gross to not, and you’re already there 5 nights a week…that’s a lot of transportation for your regular brush to go through.
Female friends–depends on the couple. I’ve always been honest about this and respected the honesty, but some people can’t handle that. Think about how open you are about past experiences if that’s even come up at all and just make sure to not be clingy towards any of these females from the past as to make it very clear there’s nothing to worry about. Whether you outright tell her or not, definitely don’t lie. You never know what a drunk friend at a party will decide to bring up not realizing who all is around.
Parents–I think it’s more pressure to plan an event that is solely for the purpose of meeting parents, that’s why so many people use holidays and such as excuses for introductions. She will obviously be excited to go on beach trip and you can mention the parent thing as a small detail so it won’t seem like a huge deal to her.
I work on campus of college I graduated from (only 3 years ago also–I’m 25) and my employees are all current students. Not the most mature person in the world so always felt pretty on par with them…until one of them asked a question that began with “so, in your generation…” and I died a little inside.

Was really hoping Dismissed was the MTV show from back in the day.
Came here to say the same thing. Seems like more of a big picture issue, here…

I’m about a month out from first semester law school finals, and decided to catch up on PGP during study break. Not sure it was best idea.

You’re wrong. We don’t poop. We hold it all in and it turns into drama.

That’s what she said.
I get it now, and I have also been a victim of my drunk brain putting texts together in an unfortunate way, so definitely don’t feel alone.
Everytime I read “Miss Mackay” I thought of Mr. Mackey from South Park.

Or if there wasn’t always [at least] one girl who needed to be in contact with her boyfriend worrying about what he is doing while she is away.
Anyone with me on firmly believing that if you microwave a pizza lunchable you might be a sociopath?

Either you’re more tolerable than her or your boyfriend has more of a backbone. I’d say either way you win.
