Seriously. Don't we all think these two ARE Fifty Shades of Grey meets Pride and Prejudice?

I don't like it either. Not at all.
Thank you. I dislike everything about this dress. That fabric, that bodice, and the scrawling all over it? SUPER UGH.
I am very anti-this veil. Okay, you love your kids. WE GET IT.
There. Fixed it.
Well, that's interesting, I guess.
I feel like they took the "we're just getting married because our kids want us to" angle a little far with the drawings scrawled all over the dress. It's a bit "well see, I only care about my family not weddings" I feel like it's supposed to be an inoculation against those who would comment on them not making good on…
This will be an controversial position, but for some women hormones do play an obtrusive role in their lives. I know because I am one of them. I suffer from a severe form of PMS called PMDD and it is a real disorder. One does not just "rationalize" their way through it. Part of being a feminist does not mean denying…
Also to both of you: telling people it's okay to not be okay is SO refreshing to hear. I have been dealing with a lot of shitty shit lately and people keep asking me if it's "better now," and I feel like an ass if I say "no" and a liar if I say "yes." It's okay to not be okay sometimes.
For the Spock-like logical part of you: do some research on the brain chemistry behind anxiety disorders. That might help you be less frustrated by her, which will in turn help you help her.
It's possible that her anxiety is triggered by thinking that you or other people might judge her for dressing the wrong way or looking a certain way. Don't beat yourself up about it too hard; some people have a harder time understanding other people's experiences than others. I've been pretty receptive to other people…
Someone left good advice on here, and I followed it. Here's what he said- get an avatar. Post frequently. Try to post early. Don't just respond. Start your own threads. Be witty and/or knowledgeable. Make sure you are adding something. So don't just agree, but don't argue, if that makes sense. I really do hope…
This is probably not the case for everyone, but when I'm in panic mode I do NOT like people calming me down because in the moment it feels like the panic is not justified and in the moment that is offensive. I told my husband to put on the kettle and make some tea. I had to develop calm down techniques for myself that…
As someone with intense anxiety, it's almost impossible to get other people to understand what you go through on a daily basis. Because it's an invisible illness, many people underestimate the actual suffering it causes, and this invalidation and isolation contributes to making that anxiety worse.
Hell, man, I don't even know what the good vintages are for Bud Light. I don't want to get you an off year.
The thing is, if I'm paying the calligrapher, they should be willing to write "you wanna done come on down to this here wedding", if that's what I told them to write, regardless of what's correct, grammatically. And if they aren't willing to do that, they should decline to do the work, not just send out invitations…
I'm all for bringing back the greys, with one condition:
You guys, I quit my soul-sucking but well-paying teaching job. Temporarily, I'm teaching somewhere else where I make half as much. Today was my first day, and after I finished class, I went home with a smile on my face. 7 out of 10 times at the old job, I'd come home and cry.
You need a durable/health care power of attorney for your old man ASAP. This woman should not be in charge of his finances and she should NOT be taking care of his medical stuff, especially if your mom didn't trust her. If things are really bad with his health, you need to get a POA as soon as humanly possible. …
