EDIT: Norwegian now says we can cancel our cruise up to 48 hours before we sail, but we decided to just go on it anyways. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be a fairly empty cruise!

I guess I should've ended that quote with /sarcasm, because there's no way I'd actually seriously do it lol I don't think they'd serve me drinks in quarantine so that's a hard pass from me.

No worries, I didn't think you were judging! I also have a trip planned for San Francisco in June so I guess lemme know how it goes? lol Enjoy your trip as well!

Definitely good to know! Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about that now lol I can't cancel my reservation and receive a refund because I'm sailing in 8 days, plus I don't meet their criteria for being eligible for a refund. I'm just going to cough as loud as possible to try and keep people away from me as much as…

I wish I would've known about the virus last year when I booked my cruise lol Oh well. As long as I wash my hands constantly and use hand sanitizer I should be alright. Norwegian Cruise Line has been keeping us pretty informed of all of the steps they're taking in response to the virus. They're not messing around lol

I've had the Charge HR, Charge HR 2, and now the Versa 2. Overall I like it a lot and it's estimated calories are in line with the other Fitbit trackers I've used. I know that heart monitors aren't always the best for determining how many calories you burn, but from what I've read, Fitbit is still one of the better ones…

I've been a member since 2011, but I rarely post. I mostly like to lurk in the shadows and read everyone's advice/debates when I have time off of work.

I don't think saying that will make OP mistrust her feelings, I just think it's very easy to mentally gloss over behaviors she's doing that might contribute to his behavior, if that makes sense. There's been plenty of times in a relationship where someone doesn't realize they're doing something hurtful to their significant…

You make an excellent point about abusive relationships however. That's definitely a time when family should step in. I'm not an expert in abusive relationships, but sometimes friends and family can see the abuse (physically and emotionally) even without having had a conversation about it.

I admit that when my therapist told me that talking to friends and family is a bad idea, that I was taken back because for years I shared your same sentiment about friends and family helping me to remain grounded. But as it was explained to me, it really does make more sense. The problem is that if your friends and family…

I was going to say the same thing to you as well. This topic I feel like was a sensitive issue to OP and I appreciated the fact that strangers could have an open discussion about it without resorting to attacks or anything. Thanks for the good convo!

I don't know if I would say that professionals often do more harm than good, but there's obviously bad eggs in every profession because people are fallible. I generally think waiting it out is a bad idea (not always though) only because I think that if people just hold things to themselves and don't communicate it could…

I agree she needs to vent and talk with someone, but she should seek the advice of a professional if talking to him remains a pointless endeavor. My whole point of the first post was that 1) we're only hearing her side so she's going to get one-sided recommendations and 2) getting advice from strangers on the Internet…

I obviously don't think it's a silly question at all. I'm just saying you might do more harm than good coming here for advice, rather than going to a professional or continuing to hash it out with him instead. Your situation sounds like it's starting to get toxic based on the fact that he's being really dismissive. Guess…

I had just a few thoughts I figured I would share. I've done the whole couple's counseling and individual counseling thing and a lot of people have said things I agree with, like how communication is really the key here. There are a few things though that maybe you haven't thought of that I figured I would share: First,…
