She clearly didn’t have THAT great of a time. She probably texted you that to relieve some awkwardness, but if she was really feeling it, a kiss woulda for sure happened, especially on the second date.
You didn’t discuss finances (her college debt) before getting married? Yikes man.
This is gonna sound sexist AF, but I would do your best to subtlety take over the managing of the money for your family and work that budget out with your financial goals. Keep her in the loop, but be firm in that the debt has to be paid down and some sacrifices need to be made for now, but you will take care of it. This means managing her spending, debt payments, raises, etc. My wife is better with money than me, so I have let her do it, but it wasn’t without some disagreements along the way. Maybe you can just offer to do it “for long term planning for the family” and hope she doesn’t want to add it to her list of duties if that makes sense.
Agree with you. Not a headphones guy while in transit, gives off a “hey, we could talk if you want, I’m not blocking the world out.” Never know who you might meet just by being more open.
While September is football season, the parks will also be very calm/not busy with school just starting back up. When I was in third grade, we went to Disneyland in September and people thought my parents were crazy for pulling my bro and I out of school, but looking back they were just pulling PGPMs.
While shitting on Seattle people is a hobby of mine, I think that you see more people being assholes to waiters at brunch because they are in various stages of hungover-as-shit to still-drunk-from-last-night. So that magnifies all the issues that could come up at a meal out and they become a bigger deal than they really are.

Sup sup sup?
How do you not shit your brains out all week if you are just eating chili?
People in Seattle have no clue about this thing called “timezones”. They are completely oblivious to it.
Your ex just paid for “tickets to poundtown”. NBD.
What if my 20 year mortgage is less than that?
Name checks out.
I still mispronounce “charcuterie.” PGP.

“Five Things I Said Over the Holidays While She Was Expecting a Ring”
Big fan of the sorority “hazing” ones!
While home last week, my mom commented that I “seem to have gotten a bit fuller over the last year…”
Given the three categories listed, this headline should read “best stories from the weekend”.
That’s still a wonderful plan tbh. Not the most “creative”, but still a great date.

I need to know the results here. Hopefully the winner just says “scoreboard” to the loser whenever they see each other these days.

She doesn’t have the iPhone X yet?
Entourage is not a stupid show!
