M1 - appreciate the logic, but I’m refraining from asking for more than I need (don’t come from a ton of money) and would prefer to cover it myself if possible. But thank you & SC1 for the tips!

Read The Practical Wedding, lots of good common sense advice

Interested as well.

Going to other people’s weddings. Use them as a yardstick to discuss what is important to you. Did you go to a wedding with all beautiful stationary and flowers, and feel aggrieved that you had to pay for drinks? Then you know that a free bar is more important than the other two elements, and should be accordingly prioritised.

Breakups: ladies have you ever left a relationship while the SO didn’t do anything wrong? I just feel he isn’t the right one for me after moving in for half a year now.

The key thing is he didn’t do anything wrong or fail me, he just can’t support me emotionally and communicate in a way I know I deserve

Has anyone else had a really hard time online dating with Covid? I’m aware things are getting better but I prefer to do outdoor first dates to be on the safe side. No judgement to anyone that does differently. It’s just what I feel comfortable with. I’ve had a few guys tell me they won’t do outdoor dates for some reason… some have cited weather but others legit say no (in 70 weather) because it’s a hassle & “Covid is a joke.” Please tell me if this is normal.

Is it just me or does everyone struggle to make decisions that affect the next few years? (E.g., job, house, car etc.) - I have some criteria and I started to eliminate and then found two options with comparable pros and cons and now just paralyzed in analysis without being able to move forward. Ugh. Everything I could think of I have done - asked for advice, slept on it, taken a walk and looked at everything again but I just feel stuck.
