I think these points are more accurate for naturally big chested ladies. My best friend went from a AA to a small D. One of her favorite things is that she now doesn’t have to wear a bra for a lot of her clothes because her boobs basically support themselves. Sure, she needs a good bra for working out. But if she’s wearing something backless or lowcut, she just wears pasties.
When you’re in the not-quite-exclusive limbo, I find it best to give “experience” type gifts, like tickets to a game or a show. You’re basically just pre-paying for a date that you would have gone on anyway in a few weeks.
My favorite is signing up for one of the cooking classes at Central Market, Sur La Table or somewhere similar. They’re a really fun date night, they give you lots of wine to drink during the class and they’re in a group setting so it’s not an overly romantic gift. I’m a terrible cook and I still have a blast at them.
Agreed. Total nightmare. I’m 9/10, but that’s because I disagree about no plated dinner. As a lady, if I’m in a nice dress and heels, the last thing I want to do is try to navigate walking through 150+ guests to my seat while carrying a full plate of food and a full drink. I’ve seen one too many spills happen. A wedding is a nice event and your guests probably spent a lot of $$ to be there. I think the move is to serve them rather than make them serve themselves. Just my two cents.
I’ve been an avid spray tanner for years before big weekends/events/trips, and it makes all the difference. I’ve got a tropical vacay coming up. Have I been working out to prepare? Nope. But will it matter once I get my spray tan the day before the flight? Also nope.
Serious question though: Do you really need to live with someone to find out something like that? I’ve honestly never seen a situation where it didn’t work out after moving in together when there weren’t already some pretty big red flags beforehand.
Agreed. Are people really able to hide crazy, deal-breaker habits from their significant others that they’re spending multiple nights a week with? I spend about 75% of my nights with my boyfriend of 3 years. We’ve traveled together extensively and spend holidays with each other’s families.
We don’t live together, but I’m hardly ignorant to his snoring or other unfortunate habits. Nor is he ignorant to mine. For now, I’m enjoying my last few years living with my best (girl) friend. I look forward to being married as being the big shift in our relationship where we actually share an address. Otherwise, as you said, what’s really the point in getting engaged/married if you basically already act like you are?
GroupMe or no group texts at all. I can’t stand using iMessage for group texts. When you’re trying to catch up on a particularly chatty day and new messages are simultaneously rolling in, it keeps pulling you back to the latest message and you lose your place. Plus, I like to keep my phone on vibrate. I can’t do that without my phone vibrating every .6 seconds with a group iMessage. GroupMe messages still come through as a notification on the home screen, but if your phone is on vibrate, you can make the notification silent.
First, congrats! Despite this awful woman, it sounds like y’all are very happy and had an overall great time.
Second, once you get that partial deposit back, I’d have my wedding party do their best to Yelp/Google Review her out of business. Lots of cities also have a local news segment where they do stories on local businesses that have taken advantage of customers.
As someone who just dropped a cool $1,400 at the dentist this morning, I cannot support this take. I’m a religious brusher/flosser/mouthwasher, but I apparently have “soft teeth.” Just looking at candy gives me a cavity. And your standard dental insurance doesn’t cover much for those with chronic problems.
I hate the dentist not because of the experience, but because she takes all of my money.
I nearly passed out from the pain, and then I had to get it removed and re-inserted due to some other fun issues. I get what you’re trying to say, but you’re wrong to call any of that experience “amazing.” It was pure hell and it was at least 75% for the benefit of my boyfriend. Props, Duda.
Agreed that a boys NOLA weekend will probably be more fun, as the same can be said for girls weekends. However, the timing may be off. If my boyfriend took a trip without me surrounding a holiday of which the point is to kiss someone, I think I might be a little less than thrilled. She’s going to assume you’re kissing a rando at midnight. So just decide if the boys weekend is worth the fight that will take place before/after. If it is, then go for it.
Can confirm it’s really weird. We had a family cat for 17 years who died in January. I’ve been home 10+ times since then (I live close), but it’s still a little weird every time to not be greeted by him demanding head scratches and treats.

Same. Total shoe in for Paradise this summer.

You’re overthinking it. Go for it.

Was referring to friends’ relationships. I personally haven’t ever lived with a significant other.

Roommate works for AT&T HQ. They have to pay for the shitty breakroom coffee. Could always be worse.

I soberly bought a box of the Little Debbie Swiss Rolls last week. Not ashamed. Still love those things.

I think “repetitive” would have sufficed. Guy sounds mean.

Will is just trolling his girlfriend at this point.
