sigh, DH. His family is coming up tomorrow for something and he asked if I'm free. I'm truly not, but then he said that "she's going to watch the Bachelorette with friends".

DH, seriously. Just say she was going to a thing with friends. Because that's what I'm doing. I don't even care about the show but I care about making friends. And your parents already think I'm an avoider so let's not go with "she'd rather go watch a trashy reality show than see you."


Stalking our neighborhood a bit and a VP at DH's company is two houses down the street. Welp, guess I need to play it more normal now :jimlad:


It's ok though, it's a different part of the business so he doesn't report into them at all.

Oh, man...that'll be even more embarrassing to try and explain when one of DH's gamer buddies thinks it'd be totally hilarious to SWAT him at his new house for a housewarming gag.

Sounds painful.
 
This what I felt like going into Taco Juan's, waiting for my nachos

PapaLew's done that to me before...sometimes they "over-inform". :)

over-inform, that's exactly it. He's like they don't care but I asked for future stuff just keep it to she's doing something with friends. Now they want to see the house too - and we are doing our final walk through before I head off to do that. I'm like yeesh, way to not make things even busier.
 
brother's GF is pinning things like "how to prepare for engagement photos" and "affordable engagement rings that actually look like engagement rings"


what does this mean?????

I ask the same thing. Is an affordable engagement ring not actually an engagement ring? Should it say "affordable non-engagement ring?" Granted, you don't want to go cheap there, but how does cost make it any less of an engagement ring? Isn't an engagement ring just an engagement ring?

If I had my druthers, I would have went with a Ring Pop.

Really, technically, as long as it's accepted by the woman as an engagement ring, it would still be an engagement ring, wouldn't it?

While recent tradition says it should be a diamond, I don't think there's anything that actually says it has to be one to be an engagement ring.

And yes, I realize I'm over-thinking this. Slow day in the office.
 
CG, I somewhat sympathize about the MIL, but mine hated me from the start and takes very little interest in my husband and kids compared to the other children and grandchildren. Of course, she is also the daughter of the idiot grandfather, so it is probably a blessing. Yours at least is interested in seeing you and DH and your new home.

yeah on one hand you've got my grandma who was/is the MIL from Hades. Mine isn't nearly anything like that, though they can be pushier and judgier than is preferred. Including judgy about me not liking that grandma (and much of that side of the family). Which is not cool when they don't know the situation but just kinda assume it must be that I'm just anti-family.

But it's probably balance out by my lack of Catholicness and lack of comfiness with being around them.


ah, so it's the daughter of the a-hole. Well it makes more sense then.

I have no idea how that comment got into the middle of your post!

means my brother ain't got money for a ring so she's looking at cheaper options, I believe. Or she doesn't want an expensive one. Probably both.

Oh. Reeks of desperation.

she's the type that probably wouldn't want something super fancy, so it seems appropriate. Just weird. Can't see my brother wanting to get married yet but I also don't think he's old enough to date so my judgement and perception is off.




(he's 25, I'd been married for two years by then)
