I was like this after my 9th time being a bridesmaid but its been about a year since I’ve been in a wedding and I’m finally starting to feel excited about being a bridesmaid again when my last few friends get married.
I was worried about the same thing and never would work out at lunch but I just set the treadmill to 3.5 to 4 mph and read on my kindle for 40-45 minutes and tell myself that it’s better than nothing.
To the guy in the 4 year relationship losing the spark- I agree with everyone else saying switch it up and travel but I also think you could talk about taking a break. I wouldn’t reccommend this if you were older but early 20’s is when you should be figuring out what you want. I know at least 3 or 4 couples who mutually decided to do this right after college and are all happily married and having kids now.
Having everything work is something I never thought about until living on my own. I always lived with roommates in a house, with the owner so now living alone in an apartment where things work sometimes is taking a long time getting used to.
I’m similar- 9 times bridesmaid (2 of which were MOH so I spent more) and I’ve gone to 30 weddings in 4 years. I only went on three bachelorettes that had flights but the other 15+ were 3-4 day trips to other cities. Absolutely have to budget a grand to spend each time.
One of the best realizations in my relationship was when we knew we could spend time together while doing our own things. Sometimes you just want your SO to be there even if you’re not given each other any attention.
It’s pretty common though. I would never ghost someone but these back and forth texts reminded me of how many times I rolled my eyes during these exact same exchanges.
Completely agree with having to be comfortable and not embarassed to communicate about it! The more you can talk about it the better it gets.
Also, girl with vague anniversary date- we decided to just say the date we met because we’ve talked everyday since. Anything meaningful to you both could be used.

I was scared at first, but now I love him.

I thought the same thing! Did Rachel not go out for his birthday last year?

I am so confused about this too- that guy has a backpack.
This sounds like the OD in Sea Isle

This was my opener for a long time and I got some real interesting picks. Some good, some bad.

that sounds exactly like my 26th birthday.

Loved the “Go Birds” to end the comment.

I hope the guy from the mailbag is hated by his ex GF. He deserves it.
The opposite of love is indifference is a line from The Lumineer’s song- so now I have Stubborn Love stuck in my head. Thanks, Bill
that’s make me sad! I loved my craigslist roommate we got along great and I wish I could have bought her house when she sold it.
