I love kuololit, but I was wondering who might be a good vendor for a custom design woth reasonable prices. Kuololit came out with a pink moissy cat shaped stone. I do not want a coated moissy and am partial to a Grey or teal stone.

Also I wanted the necklace in platinum instead

My friend is getting married and recently showed me that we are not as close as I thought we were.

Typically I enjoy finding unique gifts and spending $100 to $200 overall (shower and wedding). My go to is custom etched champagne glasse with Mr. And Mrs __________ insert last name.

Just feeling super hurt after being purposely excluded from bachelorette and not included in the bridal party especially since I found her an amazing hall (one I got married in). She then jokingly asked if we knew someone from her original hall so she could get a discount I was thinking of not going to the wedding at all, but I want to party, eat amazing food and hang out with friends who live out of state.

This not a vengeful action, just want a low effort gift. I do not want to chase after the friendship like a lost desperate puppy.

My parents are generous people and are always helping out. To the point that I feel like they are being taken advantage of.

Anyways I have a friend (or who I thought was a good friend) who is getting married. I am closer with her sister, but still good friends with her. We grew up together and my parents see them like daughters. I was not made a bridesmaid and also plans for the bachelorette were purposely hidden from me.

I am extremely hurt over the situation and this has changed my whole perspective on the friendship. I did not say/post anything to anyone outside of my other bf, partner and family.

I asked my mom to not offer her house for anything to do with the wedding and my mom said she will if asked. That hurts a lot. My dad usually does photos (not professionally or anything) and will probably do this for my "friend". Am I overreacting if I feel hurt that they will go out of their way for her?

I do have a kid and I know if someone who was a friend, no matter how close, did something like that all extra stuff would cease, unless they were homeless or sick or something. Thoughts?

Just curious if this would be a deal breaker for people. My friend is getting married. I am not part of the wedding party, but even worse she lied and his her bachelorette plans.

The thing holding me back from completely ghosting her is that I am best friends with her sister. This makes my emotions even more confused because I fear one she could abandon me at the drop of a hat. Anyone experience this?

I wouldnt be so confused if I wasnt close with the bride, then it would make sense that I wasnt chosen to be close to her on her wedding day.

I discovered a friend was not such a good friend and that was devastating. I will never say anything to that "friend" ever.

I asked my dad what he thought. Dad told me I was an adult and needed to give my friend space. So....How is being sad inside my home not giving my friend space wtf? During the whole thing I did not say anything to this friend of mine.

My relative dated the mom of the bride.

We were invited to a pre wedding/engagement party/bridal shower type party. We did bring a gift.

Turns out my parents and I were not invited to the actual wedding. So this makes the party look like a gift grab without paying for us to be guests. I did not know the daughter well, so I did not care about not being invited.

The worst part came later. We were invited to celebrate my birthday and her other daughter's birthday. All that time she was shoving the wedding photo album in my face saying "look, look at all the young people that were there!". I was shocked and taken aback, I have 0 interest in seeing photos of a wedding I was not invited too. I was less outspoken back then so I did not say anything, but man that is so tacky and hilarious!

I had a very low self esteem growing up and dad did not help. Any little thing that happened was equated nuclear war end of the world outcome type scenario. He would also bring up stuff from the past EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. In college he would bring up how I quit a sports team in high school. Past stuff I could never change or get right.

I am going through an emotional storm rn about a friend. My dad is upset that I stressed my mom out and thinks that I am "dwelling" way too much. He is literally the king of dwelling. Anyone else experience this?

I used to hide my feelings and instead of ever telling anyone, my outlet was posting on anonymous forums necause I was told that people dont like me and find me to be annoying. I never approached people who hurt me and figured no one will know what's going on if I post online.

No hate on extroverts, just want to get an opinion. I found out a super extrovert very liked friend has been excluding me from get togethers. Mot only excluding, but hiding these events/parties. This is such a hard realization and really changes the way that I think of them. This happened to me awhile ago as well.

This makes me feel extremely self conscious because I feel like I am the common denominator and was constantly told that no one liked me, thats why I had no friends. Im not loud or boisterous or anything and try my best to conduct conversations that keep people engaged. If friend feels embarrassed by me why all the song and dance, why not just slowly distance themselves? The weird thing this that sometimes I dont even try to make friends with people like this, they just kind of come to me. I dont force these friendships

The last few days I have been feeling excluded by a friend. I prayed to God. The prayer was not about friend including me or suddenly caring about my feelings. I prayed for peace for whatever happens. Some more ugly details came out and now I really dont care much if I am excluded from an event. The prayer also opened my eyes a bit seeing that friend isnt all that great. I know this sounds corny, but you won't belive what a relief i feel, like a burden is lifted my shoulders.

So this whole incident made me analyze the friendship ad makes me feel better about being excluded. A is getting married. Her sister B is my bf, but I am/was close to friend. Friend is getting married, but I am only a guest in wedding. B is having a baby shower and A was going to work with me the day before to set up.

Come to find out A was throwing herself a bachelorette that I am not invited to. Not only am I not even considered, from her messages she expected me to do the majority of set up and food by myself. She asked what she could contribute or help pay for. I told her I would do decor and dessert, that's it. Btw my relative graciously offered her house for the party and my relative hosts a lot of parties.

Now I feel better about not being invited.

Friend A is popular and liked by everyone. She is pretty and seems very nice, but now I see through that. She always brings up how some customer at work hit on her or call her pretty despite being in a very serious relationship and this is CONSTANT. Also she brags how different people see her as a daughter and would love to adopt her when I brought up that my parents see her like a daughter (she is an adult btw). Friend B was under the impression that her sister and SIL were doing majority of the planning. Finding this out was shocking! Apparently her bachelorette will low key, but knowing her she will probably invite a lot of people.

I am friends to 2 sisters A and B. Sister B is my best friend, but sister A and I close or do I thought. Both were in my wedding and I was in B's wedding. I found out I was not in A's wedding, but thought we would celebrate other ways, apparently not.

We had a baby shower for B. Originally we were going to set up for the shower the day before. Come to find out B had her bachelorette party the day before the shower. I was not invited and B asked how she could contribute to the party and pay me back. I originally said id do decor. She expected to party it up while I did set up with my relative (own the house we are hosting the party) and partner. I am hurt and absolutely shocked at the shamlessness of this "friend".

The last few days, I have been discovering that friend might be hiding plans for pre wedding parties (not in the bridal party, but still thought id be included). I have not said anything to my friend. I am venting to only close family (mom, grandma, partner). Other then 2 texts, I have not said anything to my friend, nor have I posted anything on social media.

I was hoping for some sympathy/empathy, but received the total opposite...he told me I am now an adult, to give friend some.space despite the fact that I haven't said anything to my friend.

I legit started ugly crying, sobbing and bawling my eyes out. I went and held my young baby as he looked at me confused and kept smiling.

I just need to vent and find some comfort. In the past when things like this have happened, I usually would post on anonymous forums (reddit for example). I felt like I never had anyone to vent to. I never confronted the people that hurt me or any mutual friends.

My pp has been pretty easy. The last 2 days I found out that appointments good friend (or who I thought was a close person), might be hiding plans for pre wedding party stuff (I am not in the wedding party, but still thought I would be included). I've been crying on and off, venting to my mom. I stupidly asked my dad his opinion and that completely tore me up, absolutely 0 empathy/sympathy. Even going as far as saying I was stressing my mom out.

I suffer from low self esteem and this has happened in the past before not related to pregnancy or pp. I barely got off the phone before I started ugly crying, sobbing and bawling my eyes out.

I held my baby while he was smiling and looking confused. I just want some comfort.

I have just a little bit of time left before I go back. I am already emotional, but also found out that someone who I thought was a good friend may not be including me in some wedding related parties.

I initially did ask if I was in the wedding party friend said no. I wasnt hurt and brushed that off. Friend is going to have married people and people with young babies in their wedding party.

Recently we had a get together and I asked what friend wanted to do for bachelor/bacherlorette party, friend said they did not know. Earlier they had told my relative that they were thinking about having their party the day before their siblings shower party as most of their family was in town. My friends sibling (my bf) is having a shower party soon and my relative is hosting at their house. I texted my friend about help setting up the day before and friend said they would come early the next day, no mention of a possible get together.

This stings as the situation laid out is they are no only not inviting me, but also hiding the plans from.

I had both of them in my wedding party, yes I know there is no obligation on their part, maybe just realizing that I am not even on their radar.

I texted bf, friend and the other sibling if we could get together on Saturday to catch up. I received no reply from friend and bf, the other sibling did text that it would be nice to get together.

Going back to work is so hard and I feel extremely hurt over this friend situation. I admit, I am extremely self conscious about my social skills and social standing, especially when I get left out by the social butterfly.

​

I am close with 2 siblings. Both were in my wedding. Earlier this year I found out I am not a bridesmaid and the reasoning was that there were not enough groomsmen on his side. I offered that my partner can step in, but friend rejected that idea, fine whatever…

One sibling is having a baby shower that a family member and I are hosting. At a get together the family member asked if friend was coming over the day before to set up to help with siblings baby shower. She proceeded to tell family member that she might have her bachelorette party the day before as family is flying in (some of these people are also married). When she was leaving, I asked what she wanted to for her bachelorette. This is before I knew she was discussing plans with my family member. She said she did not know.

I casually messaged her asking about the day before and she said she would be coming the morning before the party. This tells me that she could be hiding something as she has not mentioned her party at all.

I will not ask for an invite, but I will definitely question this friendship. Through my suggestion, they picked a very well priced wedding hall with amazing food. A hall that a family member got married in. Am I stressing about nothing?

I found a seller online and bought some expensive inserts, pockets and some other stuff for a pretty good deal. I mentioned it to my mom and she was absolutely horrified! She stated that the baby could catch something or develop something incurable. Anyone else experience this?

I have a alexa kids in babies room for now and will eventually disconnect alexa and keep just the echo light. I was asking random questions about diapers (kind of exploring how alexa answers). The topic went to underwear and alexa KIDS asked what color undies I liked to wear and also what do I like to do when I am in my undies. Wtf?

Can I just use a few layered muslin burp cloths or do I need a hemp/bamboo layer underneath?
