Thursday confessions:

Part of me wants him to tell the truth and part of me likes the fact that he is telling me what I want to hearOf course, there's the distinct chance that he is telling you the truth :)Seriously Jade, I know that you struggle w/ body image issues, but you're a beautiful girl.  You need to learn to accept yourself for who you are.  (easier said than done, I'm sure)  But, really.

crfische

I am, at times, embarassed of my rings. I love them, but yeah.

jadebaby

Aw, Tide. I love you for that... You made me tear up!

aimerzkd214

Fish I was wondering why sometimes you are embarrassed by your rings?

cmhershey

aimerz- I'm thinking is something torn.  I've had shin splits before,and this feels much different. cew- I'll let you know what happens.  Then you can go to the doctor, and say 'I think xx is wrong, give me xx to fix it'

crfische

Gah. Because it's huge and sparkly and I work with people who typically can't afford nice things and it makes me feel like a douche.

mandysmear

Sometimes I am too fishy.  More ashamed that it cost as much as it did.  It's kind of ridiculous actually.  But, I love it. 

kikibaby

Mandy- don't feel bad at all!  My parents always said it was because they want me to be safe, and they know that if I had to pay for the car myself I'd be driving an old beater.

BecW2be

I confess that I worry about my weight in FI's eyes too. When we met I was 20, 5'4" and 110lbs. I looked like Winona Ryder, and it was pretty awesome (I didn't have boobs though). When we met again almost 11 years later, I was 5'7", 165lbs. and definitely NOT Winona. And I've gained about 15 since we met. I do have fabulous boobs and a great butt though. He swears he always thought I looked like a 12yr old boy when we met and he loves how I look now, but after meeting me he also always went for the tiny brunette, short hair look alike to the 20yr old me. So, which is it?

TheSaltyPeanut

I confess that I gained 8 lbs since the wedding. I went crazy and have literally been eating everything in sight! I just started logging my food in sparkpeople.com again. It's a great tool and it helped me lose 30 lbs 2 years ago that I've keep off

crfische

I'm a little jealous of all you ladies who can be so open about your weight and own it. I just get embarrassed by it and hope that wine will make me lose it and ignore it. That's bad logic.

julezlee

I'm just a big cranky biatch because of work right now and I'm annoyed at myself for letting it get me so cranky.  Especially when I really just want to be happy and basking in that fact that it's 8 days until we get married. 

danieliza1127

cew - that's why I don't knot in the evenings.  It's too addictive and I know I hate it when my H sits on the computer and ignores me, so I try not to do it to him too. 

Nebb

My e-ring isnt real, and only one or two people actually know that. I dont know if I would be comfortable with a real diamond ring, because i never ever wear jewelry and have almost lost this ring a couple times already. It doesnt fit me properly anymore because ive lost weight and I just wear my wedding band over it rather than go into a jewelry store to get it sized. I feel like they will make it into some big scandal because its not real diamonds and I dont feel like dealing with it.

crfische

I wish my husband's work hours weren't so lame so he WAS home more in the evenings. It's the one thing we fight about.

kikibaby

I feel ya fische- I just hope that the weight will go away on it's own, too.  Or that I could learn to live with it.  I also confess I'm scared to be a "fat bride".  And I'm mad at myself for feeling that way.

BecW2be

*Tossing my confession in the direction of rings* I confess that I finally looked up the things my daughter told me about my ring (she went with FI to pick it out and became a tiny little diamond certifier in her mind that day) and I was FLOORED. I've never priced diamonds, and kind of wish I hadn't now. I know FI got a huge discount b/c he worked a trade, but my ring cost roughly enough to get rid of every cent of debt I have. I know that's not how you should look at it, but I still do anyway.

vicmo5

I confess that I'm enjoying these confessions.  I also confess that I hope my brother's disgusting gf breaks up with him because he's even more disgusting than she is.

crfische

Agreed, Bec. I had no clue how much it was, and I don't think he intended for me to know, but when I put it under my insurance, they needed the appraisal and I almost swallowed my tongue. So I called him a little freaked out and he was like, well, I didn't pay THAT much... and it didn't make me feel better.

cew - that's why I don't knot in the evenings. It's too addictive and I know I hate it when my H sits on the computer and ignores me, so I try not to do it to him too. I'd really like to stick to this. I figure if I'm saying it on here, then it's real. I'd like to cut myself off at 7pm (Ben likes to unwind by watching his shows for an hour anyway) and spend the rest of the night with the family. So if any of you catch me on here after 7, tell me to get the hell off.

Our entire wedding budget is only twice what he paid for the e ring. I love my ring (love love love!) but sometimes when FI gets upset about wedding budget woes I wish we had gone with a less expensive ring. But it should be noted I have enormous money guilt issues. 

saschaduran

I confess that I never fell asleep last night, not even for a second.  Even though I took half an Ambien and laid in the dark for 6 hours.  It happens once every few months due to anxiety attacks for no reason.  I have a feeling of doom today.I really really want to call in to work but I feel like I should save it in case I really do get sick.  And since my husband is really sick and actually went to work last night I feel like he would be annoyed.

I hate our jeweller in town who had to size my ring for me. The lady says, "you know there's a noticeable flaw in the diamond, right?"...Mark said, "yes ma'am, I'm aware". She says, "if you had bought locally we would have never sold you a diamond of this quality". Mark was upset with her at this point and said, "if I had bought locally you may have sold me a better quality ring, but at 10x the price, which I couldn't afford, and Jaime would still just be my girlfriend. This was her dream ring. Maybe someday if you're lucky, we'll come here and upgrade the diamond". Yeah right. They're terrible for customer service. I'm not going there again. I got my wedding band sized in Winnipeg the last time we went. Much more pleasant.

opalsky007

I confess that I was a giant douche the day FI bought my ring. We'd picked it out a week or two before, but he refused to buy it in front of me. So he snuck back to the store (an hour drive each way) after work. He was really late picking me up from a rehearsal that frigid November night, and of course couldn't give me a reason why. I was pissed and let him have it, in front of FILs.

vicmo5

I'll admit that he spent way more on my ring and the honeymoon than we did on the wedding.  We decided from the beginning that we rather have a gorgeous ring and an awesome honeymoon than a big wedding.

danieliza1127

swift - you are really feeling this way over 10 pounds?  That is sad. 

aimerzkd214

This one probably makes me a hypocrite but oh well.  When Fi proposed he basically just handed me the ring and asked if I would marry him.  He is not really a romantic person so it was not a really big deal, although I would have liked a little more, like flowers or something, but I figured the important thing was that we were getting married.    Well around the same time another couple friends of ours got engaged too.  When I told her how we got engaged she was like oh and  I could tell she was looking down her nose at us.  I really wanted to defend how he propsed to me even though I was a little dissapointed in the way he prosposed.  but i should not be suprised that she felt that way because her FI proposed to her under the eiffel tower in Paris.

BecW2be

I still haven't told FI I even looked anything up! Actually, knotties were discussing rings one day, and I wondered what things like VVS1 meant, so I searched that, then searched color D, then one thing led to another and I searched by my cut and size and truly almost shitmy pants. But, if anything good came of it, I almost always take off my ring when I do any sort of painting, tiling or mowing now. LOL!

I confess that I'm ridiculously excited about going home to watch TV tonight. My friend is on Jepordy! tonight, and then there's a new show, Flashforward and then the 2 hour Greys premier. I've been looking forward to tonight all week.

sascha - I'm sorry about your feeling of doom. I have those days too. They suck. Just remember that no matter what, you don't suck as bad as Audrey.I further confess that I'm concerned that E's craziness will make you all unfriend me on FB. I've really grown to love all you biitches and it would be a shame if the Great FB Migration was tainted by the actions of one.
