Nothing your partner should give a gift for both of you.

I agree. If I’m the guest I shouldn’t be expected to give. I probably would offer something to help cover my plate but only if I have the funds to do so

Four hundred twenty dollars and sixty nine cents

Let your partner decide who actually knows the people getting married.

You wouldn’t give a gift together as a couple? Maybe ask your date if you can contribute to their gift?

If I wasn’t going in on the present with my date. I wouldn’t send them anything. They won’t remember me or that I didn’t get them anything

Seems like a good time to talk to your partner about how costs are divided when attending weddings. My partner and I decided that we split travel and hotel costs (aka you pay for yourself), but the person who knows the couple pays for the gift. If it’s a mutual friend the we split. This will help feeling guilty that you need to contribute and prevent having this conversation with every wedding. Hope you have fun at the wedding!

I give $100 as my share and my SO matches or exceeds that. Plus 1’s are still costly for the bride and groom. Stingy mentality like “plus ones don’t need to pay” is why there exist [awful] weddings that don’t allow plus ones.

$0

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Do you share details about raises/bonuses/other financial gains with friends or do you keep it to yourself? I have a few friends who will tell me everything from how much money they make to how much their husband spent on them for their bdays to how much their parents make?? To me that feels like bragging/being arrogant. It’s also the way they say it, feels very much like seeking validation to me.

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
