« If you cared about marriage, I wouldve proposed 7 years ago » was said in a jokey context but its one of the sweetest and most romantic things ive ever heard on the internet

[@hallwayoatmeal]

It was so cute🥺

[@TeenDream888]

totally! and it also highlights that it's _super_ important to be communicative with your partner. namely guys, they don't pick up on things sometimes, especially when it's concerning marriage. most women have to openly say they'd like to get married in order for the ball to get rolling.

on the topic of marriage: my best friend and I are getting legally married for a few reasons; 1. we want kids but I am asexual and she isn't really interested in being in a romantic relationship so it's just easier for us to adopt and coparent 2. I have pretty bad medical issues so if I have a bad episode I want her to be able to make medical decisions for me if I can't 3. we both have a similar life plan and it's fun to be with your best friend. marriage isn't always about romance. it's also financially easier to be married than to just live together and share expenses.

This is an extremely interesting arrangement.

@@RistrettoReader My mom has scattered my dad's ashes and had offered to give me the urn the next time we see each other, I hope it it brings comfort like your husband has comfort with his dad's urn sans ashes. My husband and I have furchildren instead of actual children and our very first one (Crash, a German Shepherd) died Thanksgiving day 2016 from bladder cancer which apparently is very rare in dogs and then January 2019 my "baby" (Pickles, a tortoise shell cat, the youngest of the four total furchildren) died from stomach cancer with complications of pancreatitis and I have them both cremated and in urns with Crash's paw print on the front and Pickles nose print on the front and they are on my mantle so I see them constantly and they bring me so much comfort. I can't handle looking at photos or videos at all of my dad or Crash or Pickles but the urns are different for some reason so I'm hopeful my dad's will do the same. Interesting salt in the wound tidbit- my parents adopted Pickles (they called her Kitty) but she didn't like traveling in the RV like the other cat and just didn't really bond with anyone so they were struggling with what you do. Well I wasn't aware of this at all and just casually updating them in their "grandchildren" and that my husband and I were looking to add another cat to the family, the Christmas before he died he said that Kitty/Pickles needs to be with me and he placed her in my arms and she melted like butter, he died 6 weeks later. She and I had only 6 years together and while she loved my husband and developed a huge personality, she was my baby that snuggled with me. Her death was like losing a part of my dad all over again. So I mourn really hard on today for all the deaths allowing myself a day to be sad and angry then my dad's birthday is next week on the 18th so that's when I get/bake a delicious cake to enjoy after eating a delicious meal of his favorite foods, watch his favorite shows, and celebrate him. Grief is weird, no right or wrong way and I only have the experience of my dad and furchildren dying that were close to me so I'm not very experienced but damn it changed my life at 26 years old losing him. Love to you and your husband, tell him I'm sorry he's in the Dead Dad Club, we don't hold meetings anymore but maybe we'll bring merch back 😉 (humor is important 😉😉💜)

[@juliette5952]

I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you are doing alright today. Your comment reminded me to make sure to tell my family that I love them today so thank you for reminding me to cherish every moment with my family. I hope you have a wonderful support system surrounding you and that your healing process is going well. Sending you lots of love 💛💛💛

Two weeks is the standard quarantine for an infected person, but as long as there are unidentified infectious people around, everyone needs to hide from the dangers of getting infected or unknowingly infecting others.

[@thepuppydog26]

In my experience, the work doesn't pause (or get reallocated) with a "normal" job when you go on vacation either :(

[@johndododoe1411]

If it's a traditional factory job, they usually schedule production to make fewer products when more people are on vacation, some factories even shut down completely for the scheduled vacation weeks, which tend to be the same statewide.

[@XSemperIdem5]

In my experience, I would just arrive to a stack of files on my desk. But then again I had a very crappy employer.

[@clareann8912]

Eleanor Neale is one of my favorite true from KZbinrs. She focuses on the lives of the victims, and has reached out to the families in several instances. She does take sponsorships, though, so that might bother Christine. Stephanie Harlowe is another awesome true crime KZbinr. She does intense deep dives into different cases. Like, multiple hour long parts.

[@Emma-il3ce]

I really want to watch but I'll have to come back because I have school work to do, and its what Simply would want.

Well, I guess money can be a strain on a relationship if you *don't* have it, so that probably explains it. Financial worries just grind you down.

[@StephanieP3]

Right? I don’t want to assume but they seem to have been financially responsible while together so less financial stress and less arguments. 🙂

[@riotgrrrl8807]

@@StephanieP3 Well, I wouldn't say it's necessarily an issue of financial responsibility (although irresponsibility definitely has more impact when you don't have much). It's more that you're constantly tense when you have these financial worries, because they wear you down so much. It's really sad. My boyfriend and me argued way more in these times, but we kept together like always and now we made it through. Anyway, I don't say any of this just to be negative, I just think it's valuable to mirror to Ben and Cristine when they might be out of touch. But they mostly put effort in to remember not everyone has it as good as they do.

[@StephanieP3]

@@riotgrrrl8807 all very true, I agree. And that’s what I mean not just responsible but it does seem like they have been financially at peace most times? So for others who don’t have much money or struggle with it may have more arguments about it.

Yeah exactly. My first thought when she said they don't fight about money was "because you HAVE it..."
