Well, that's one way to keep men away. I guess you didn't think that was ok?

I don’t think it’s right she has to do that bc some of her clients won’t take no for an answer until she shows them her fake ring

Sad she has to do that. Why the puke faces?

Oh no! Not what I intended!!!

Two thoughts. 1. What business is she in that her clients harass her for dates to the point she has to fake it? 2. How about keeping out of other people’s personal choices? Her decision does not affect your quality of life, your reaction to her choice does, and that’s completely your decision.

She’s a consultant currently working on an oil rig in Texas

And my reaction was more to the fact she had to do it

It is so bizarre that she has to do that

If it makes her feel more comfortable, I don’t see the issue. It might block a potential person that might truly be interested in her and are a viable option

I used to do this too..I was working in retail back of the days and to avoid talks, gifts and stuff like that from men, I just showed them a ring and told that I’m married and just got pregnant, even when I wasn’t married and pregnant that time..this was very effective

After being brutally sexually assaulted at prior firm, I did the same for years. You never know a person’s circumstances and should not pass judgement. Changed my life forever.

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree.

I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.

Hey all! I’m 30 years old. About to close on a house with a 5.75% fixed 30 yr mortgage. If you were me and your goal was to maximize your net worth by retirement, would you put a few thousand dollars extra into paying down the house faster or invest that extra money in the market? The 5.75% doesn’t feel that low but also not crazy high so I’m torn. Thoughts? 🙏
