Confessions/Vents

emarston1 · March 2012

Let's hear 'em!

StephLove12 · March 2012

Vent: I'm tired of looking for photobooths. I had such a good deal on one already, and lost it because they double booked, I almost want to give up the idea.

Vent #2: Although I'm somewhat happy that my doctor has FINALLY figured out what is causing my constant stomach problems... I'm not happy at all to learn I'm fructose intolerant.

Confession: I didn't even know what fructose was until yesterday.

PhoneCardLady · March 2012

VENT: I'm getting irrated by my mom in regards to me going away with Dan next Thursday. To me she has said her peace and should leave it alone. She won't. While dad doesn't condone it, he says I am 51 and can make my own decisions.

I don't want to give her an ultimatium nor do I really want to elope.....

Hold up!! Are you guys just going on vacation? Or are you going on vacation and getting married?

Meegles4 · March 2012

My vent is that I woke up this morning to find out I lost a client. It'd been one I'd been working for a bit, but I was pretty confident I'd keep it. This kind of stuff happens, but this particular instance has me pretty annoyed.

My confession is that I'm (finally) starting to get a bit excited about my wedding. Only took a year.

mlynn1223 · March 2012

Vent: I'm frustrated with feeling like I have to cater to everyone else in regards to the two days leading up to the wedding. I had to move the rehearsal time and the time for our mani's and pedi's. I don't want to seem horrible and I understand everybody is busy. However, as part of the wedding party the rehearsal is really important! As far as day before pampering I really would love to have you there but if you cannot make it then you cannot and I can only change the appointment so many times.

Confession: I am not an emotional person AT ALL!! However, I am afraid I'm going to cry like a little girl and I don't want to be blubbering when exchanging vows. The closer it gets the more choked up I get even thinking about it.

entropicbeauty · March 2012

Vent: I have applied and interviewed for two new jobs at the company I work for and I have not heard back about either job. It's driving me batty not knowing how I should be planning my future, whether I'll still be in the role I'm in now or if I will be moving positions! CALL ME ALREADY PEOPLE!

lauraprevost · March 2012

Vent: I woke up to an extremely sore throat and can barely swallow. Im hoping its just allergies from this crazy weather and that I'm not actually getting sick. Confession: It's my day off and I have a million things of homework that I should do but I really just want to lay outside!!

arunkumar · March 2012

Confession: My fiance has had a lot of dreams lately that I've left him before the wedding. He always wakes up feeling really sad and wants me to comfort him. I feel bad that he's having these dreams, but I'm secretly touched that he's so upset over the idea of me leaving him (which I told him would never happen).

Vent: My sister is my MOH and a bridesmaid in two other weddings this summer. Besides being financially stressed, she is emotionally stressed as well. I make an effort to help her out any way I can and just be there when she wants to vent. But because of this, I've also helped plan my own bridal shower and bachelorette party because I don't want her to be too stressed out. I wish she could handle some things herself because I have enough on my plate planning my wedding.

Aww poor guy! My FI had one of these last week and I get what you mean..

Vent/Confession (semi-TMI): I have another f'n UTI. I am so upset. I got these a lot in college.. usually they were sex related. Eventually I put certain pre/post sex routines in place and I stopped getting them. I didn't get any for like 2 years. None since I had started dating FI. I started getting them a couple months ago again..my routines hadn't changed but we figured out that it was exercise-related. If I didn't shower immediately after I got done working out I'd get one. I feel like I've been really good about showering etc lately and I have one again. It's pissing me off so bad because it's affected me and FI's sex life--I have to take antibiotics which mess with your BC. And FI is afraid that anytime he touches me I'm going to get a UTI. I just don't understand why I wasn't getting them for so long and now it's back to the once a month crap.

matuofm · March 2012

Confession: I'm getting frustrated with DH's job hunt. I know I should be thrilled just because he already HAS a job, but he hates it and wants to be a policeman. He's having no luck, though.
- He passed Chicago's exams, but then we found out that you have to live in Chicago, and we can't afford it on what they're paying.
- He passed Portland's exams (that was our big hope, and we spent a lot of money sending him there to do the testing), but then they announced that because of budget cuts they weren't being allowed to fill the 150 open positions anymore.
- He's been cut at various stages in the testing process for three other departments, with sketchy evasive responses as to why he was being cut.

For those who don't know, DH served in Iraq and was released from the army afterwards for medical reasons. They said he had permanent personality disorder. It's been confirmed that he doesn't, that he actually had mild PTSD, but the military was deliberately misdiagnosing a lot of people back then to keep from having to take responsibility for treating their conditions. We've petitioned the DOD to change his paperwork, but they're not legally required to and have refused. We suspect this is the mysterious disqualification that no one will explain.

Every time he gets a new lead on a job I get all excited about the thought of living there. The latest is Manchester, NH. I start thinking about how our life will change in cool ways. We spend money to send him to interviews. And then they cut him and we're both crushed. The man has an exemplary record, military service, and a bachelor's magna cum laude. Why won't anyone take him??? Gah.

Meegles4 · March 2012

acaponi -- UTI's are the worst. I've had similar issues and had to implement certain "practices" as well. The worst thing about UTI's is that you think it's nothing, you think it'll go away and then BAM, the pain. I also have other lady issues and I totally understand about it affecting your sex life. It really trashes my libido because I don't want to deal with the body issues that will inevitably happen.

Mel - I'm sorry about DH. Though I know several folks in law enforcement (police, fire) who have had similar issues. Can't believe it's such a difficult field to break into!!

acaponi87 · March 2012

Meegs--nice to know I'm not the only one. Do you take any cranberry supplaments? Any recs? I used to but I ran out and the ones that I had were annoying because you were supposed to take a crazy amount of them everyday. I also stopped taking my vitamin C and multivitamin so maybe that has something to do with it.

LOTON01 · March 2012

Confession: I finally just got my passport. It was long over due and I kept putting it off to the side.

Vent: I only have top assemble my invites and put them in the envelopes. The amount of invites going out scares the sh*t out of me.

sparkles776 · March 2012

Vent: I am totally loving this weather like everyone else, but I really cant breathe. My allergies have been so crazy. Today is the first day that I feel somewhat back to normal, thankfully, because we have a meeting with a photographer tonight and I dont want to be blowing my nose the entire time!

entropicbeauty · March 2012

Confession: I only just today called the county about officiants. I don't know what I would have done if they told me that someone who had been ordained online could not legally marry us. THANKFULLY they told us it was fine and we shouldn't have any problems having our friend marry us

Meegles4 · March 2012

Acaponi no supplements here. I'm actually on a maintenance antibiotic that supposedly doesn't interact as bay with the BCP, and haven't had any issues. But antibiotics can also cause yeast infections, so it's like you're trading one problem for another. Not fun at all.

lesley909 · March 2012

vent: i have one word that will sum it all up; BRIDESMAID!! ugh. oh well another one i guess to future brother inlaw.

getintheboxx · March 2012

Vent: Like Phonecard Lady I'm having issues with parents (FI's) dealing with us going away tomorrow. FI's parents are having a fit that we are going to TC tomorrow and are not married. I knew what I was getting into with his parents, they are really religious, hypocrites, super control freaks, and our relationship has been strained. I had this notion that once we were engaged they would get the clue I'm not going anywhere and to accept the fact that their son who is about to be 27 is an adult and can make his own decisions. See the thing is FI was an oops, they were pregnant with him before they were even engaged. FI's dad blames FI's mother and FI for "ruining" his carreer, life, etc. FI's parents are miserable people. So they are on this kick that I'm prego and that's why we are getting married. They also think that we are going to fail in our marriage and with the house we are building. What they had to say about our wedding plans is just disgusting. FI's dad had awful things to say about me who he hardly knows and my family which he has never met. There was a lot more that was said and it still makes me ill thinking about it. This all went down on Sunday and got to hear everything after I had just picked up my wedding dress. Went from super high to a super low.

They have guilted him so much he is thinking of not going on the trip, they need him at the house, what is something happens...etc. By the way if he had to go away for work, they would be ok with it. Did I mention this trip is for my birthday on Sunday? He lives at home till our house is done and of course is guilted to following their "rules". He bends over backwards for them and they are not grateful...there is a reason why their family members don't speak to them. I'm surprised FI has turned out so normal and I am so thankful he is not a product of the environment he was raised in. They are the biggest a-holes I've ever met. And have said that I need to mend the relationship because they have done nothing wrong...please, I have about 3 years worth of BS they have pulled. The only thing I have done to them is love their son and I put up with it all because I choose him. If he decides to listen to them as stay home...I really don't know how I'm going to react.

ermjdecember2015 · March 2012

Confessions and Vents?!
Well, my wedding isnt for another two years, we were trying for Memorial day weekend but vendors wont work on Memorial day weekend!
Also, my FMIL is already driving me crazy! We hadnt even set an official date just, just toyed around with some ideas for reasearch purposes, when I told my FI the issues with Memorial Day weekend, his mother hurries up and calls her mother, sisters and best friends to tell them that we had to switch the date. UM EXCUSE ME?! Why is she telling people we've set a date?! And why is she telling them every single little idea we have for the wedding?! I get that shes excited, but now I dont want to include her on any of the details for fear that all of my guests will already know every menu option and every detail on my dress train before the ceremony even starts!

Kerrigrrl · March 2012

Here is a vent. My best friend, who hasn't been a very good friend lately,and MOH just told me she is pregnant again, and her due date is literally the day of my wedding, which is in October. I'm honestly happy for her, but at the same time, a little upset about this. Obviously she can't stand up. She may not even be able to make it! She has done NOTHING in regards to any planning of bachlorette or bridal showers, but yet gets pissed at me because she thinks I choose FI over her. She hates FI, and he doesn't really care for her either, mainly because of the way she treats me. ALSO, my brother, who is in his 15th year in the Air Force, has been told he will be shipping out to Afghanistan for his 4th tour in June. He will be gone for 6 mos, which means he will be missing my wedding also. I'm sad about this. Btw, MOH's daughter was going to be my flower girl as well.

MMRoberts11 · March 2012

With my current job I'm down to part time. My boss told everyone to pick up after themselves and I am no longer there to waste my time doing silly things not related to data analysis, actual studies, or my management duties. Today, my postdoc was complaining about all of the containers for a tool not having any filled tips for it. Everyone else in the lab is either working on their thesis proposals or not in the lab today. Anyway, the postdoc was complaining that he had to get the tips out of a bag as he needed them and how he "told me we were low on Monday." Sorry buddy, not problem the containers are empty.

Then he has the nerve to just sit and talk to his wife for 30 minutes while I'm cramming to get all the data done today that my boss wants to look at on Monday. Why he can't fill the containers as he sits, I don't know beyond he's lazy... ugh. After work when I went to tell him bye and see him next week he wanted to talk about it and that meant him complaining about me not doing it and that he felt like it was part of my job, not his. Apparently, to him him having tips boxed is more important than deadlines my boss gave me to meet. I know I'll here about it on Monday too from my boss and I'll have to explain what happened and how no one is around to do it but him.

spartybride3 · March 2012

Vent: I am APPALLED by people's etiquette and manners since I've gotten engaged!!! **As a disclaimer, I've given none of these people any indication that any of the following would or could happen..they've taken it upon themselves to assume these things.** I've had people ASK to be in my wedding (my aunt told me my cousin "better be in my wedding" at the bridal salon), have people invite themselves to pre-wedding parties, have guests invite non-guests to wedding events, have people "invite themselves" to the wedding, my friends not responding to my MOH about the bachelorette party, and my aunt (yes the same one as before) wants my mom to move my shower date (memorial day weekend) because she is going camping 20 minutes away and doesn't want to leave. Really??? We live in another state...did you ever think that weekend was maybe the most convenient for us to get 2 showers done??
Oh! and my fiance is doing virtually nothing in regards to helping my plan the wedding & he is supposed to be planning my 30th birthday party for next weekend and guess who reserved the bar...this girl. Seriously?? I'm planning a wedding, working 50 hours a week, and working on a 2nd masters and you can't organize a birthday party for me?? AGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Fyi, your MOH is not required to throw you any parties. Her only 'duties' are to stand up next to you in the wedding wearing the dress you picked out. Please do not let these selfish expectations hinder your friendship.

Milsey32 · March 2012

VENT: I'm annoyed with college class scheduling. I've taken night classes for (what seems like) forever so I can work during the day, however, classes that are required are not offered at night sooooo I'll be finding a different job. Most likely less pay. Most likely less classes than I would prefer to take (as in taking classes all day 2 days a week, may be only 3 or 4 classes, and I'd prefer to just get done faster!) just so I can have some sort of schedule to get a job.

Mom is still harping on me this morning and I think it has to do with two things: the first is that we are not married and going away and two the "religious" part. I also think it's about cutting the apron strings. I have been living at home since I was 29 due to a disability that left me unable to work. When I was able after a few years I helped them out...and have ever since. I think mom is afraid of losing the 'help' she has had all these years.
