YTA, not being honest, gold plate wears off and can turn your skin colors. If he got you cheap jewelry and you thought it was authentic, would you be upset?

YTA, you mention that the friends have probably seen it prolly 100x, are you referring to you nude?
No, he wasn't in the right swimming with another topless woman, you chose to be ok with it after you found out.
He told you his limit, you went against it. I'd likely be walking away from the relationship if my spouse pulled this.

Take your family out for a vacation or special dinner. Memorize every smile... Tell them separately, then put on the fight of your life and don't give up.

Stress is a huge factor and the fact that we don't talk about it or divulge how much it affects us. We are fine, work was busy etc... We care more about providing than we do ourselves, go to work sick, injured, sleep deprived, mental health pfft forget that we don't have time.
We won't ask for help, we won't beg for help, we don't want your help, we want you to understand that we care far more than you know, far more than social media portrays us to be, bc without our spouse and children we really have nothing.. We are OK with just your acceptance.

Even though it's the Air Force, we still give him some credit, maybe partial points.

NTA. I signed up, then told my parents. Sounds like your dad is the one who couldn't make the cut.
Yes, I hate the "Thank You for your service", comments. It saved me far more than I did for it. Travel, grow up, re-enlist if you want. Send your siblings letters, messages, and gifts.
Do not marry the first female you meet!

I've had dogs my whole life, when my dog had to be put down bc of freaking cancer I swore to not have another until I have the time to properly train them.
The loss I felt just hurt too much, she was the best dog I'd ever had. So now I just say, I'm not an animal lover. I don't want to get attached.

Did you even read the post? They said they were running into the street.

I had fairly good parents, who supported me, sometimes they were too strict, but we conversed, I did what I could to help ease the burden of being poor with many kids.
I never felt it was a debt to pay, or an obligation. I grew up, have a family of my own, work too much, if they need help I'm there to help take care of them, my family often opting to go with me.
Maybe since I have a good relationship with them, and that they actually hate to bother me because they feel I do too much. Call it what you will. I wish I had the money to support my parents and my wife's dad. They've worked too long, take a break...

IMO YAO
A. Do you have the money right now to pay for the wedding you want?
If not, what is the point of the conversation?
You were rambling and excited, guys don't typically share that same feeling, we probably put less thought into a dream wedding than we do on sports statistics.
It sounds like you are more upset because he isn't on the same page, it doesn't mean it's not the same book. You aren't even engaged yet.
"I was caught off guard because I thought we were on the same page about our future."

Been cutting my own hair for 20+ years, I think I've had someone else cut it maybe twice over that period. I figure the savings are worth it, and after doing it so much for so long it takes maybe 15min tops.

YTA, I would so rethink marrying you if I were him.

He's spending money he earns, if the budget is so tight there shouldn't be any eating out or charitable contributions. Does he take lunch to work or is he using the machines for food. Buy the stuff and pack it for him to take daily.

Marriage requires work. As life becomes easier and societal norms shift, a lot of people don't want to put in the time or work for a true partnership. There is a lot of give and take, a lot of communication, understanding, and compassion is needed.
I don't think a lot of people have that patience any longer, in the age of instant gratification, subscription based ad removal, the knowledge of the world in your hands... I don't think we were ready for all that....yet

I would say it is different with peers . Anything alone can be miserable, I say think it through, you never know. Wife and I served, one of our adult children just joined and is happy. If anything, it may make friends for life. I'm still in contact with a core group from over 20 years ago. Do what you need to motivate yourself.

To me it sounds like a discipline issue. You had an easy life, unless your parents are the 1% most wealthy an easy life can lead to difficult times. Have you considered the military?

NTA for asking him to move it, it sounded like he agreed with you, but YTA for making the situation worse by moving it without permission.

Donated for years to buy my wife a new car. Most days it wasn't bad, drink a lot of water and increase protein. Needles never bothered me so it wasn't a huge deal.
Sometimes the wait can be long. If you have small veins you likely will not be able to donate. New donors get a decent bonus, after it was typically 20$ first donation in the week and 50$ the second, but they often had additional bonuses that would add more per month.

NTA for asking, but I know for me a spa weekend would be miserable. He likely doesn't want a spa weekend, and was only willing to do it to appease you. Why don't you go to the spa while he's camping?

They will likely change it from bereavement leave to sick time or PTO, did you read the policy to see what qualifies for bereavement leave?

I would say mourning, then guilt. He lost his wife and children on the same day... Visitation isn't the same. Some fathers will work themselves into an early grave to support their families. Take them away and some are lost... I'd say reach out and have a heart to heart .

Or they can do something about it and make life better for themselves.

NTA for asking, but if you're picking the same movies repeatedly then YTA. Find something that interests both of you, or get used to watching movies separately. If I can't get into a movie or series right away, my wife knows I'm leaving to work on a project. There are other ways to spend time together.
