Setting hard boundaries has been a difficult life lesson for me. I still get anxious when I do it, but I am so much happier when I do it than when I don't. It's super important.

On the topic of hand signals in social settings. If my ex and I were at a family party or wherever and I started feeling drained or uncomfortable I would squeeze his hand a couple times fast and that let him know to end the conversation he was in because I was ready to go or needed to step outside for a moment.

Those hand signals are a game changer. Non verbal private communication can truly change the way a night plays out

The way my best friend’s did their bachelor/bachelorette party was to just get an air bnb and have a game night with the bridal party. The following day the guys went golfing and the girls had a spa day. I completely agree with not getting strippers and getting drunk because I still want that quality time.

I enjoyed this podcast it was more on topics, then reading emails even though it helps people but better understanding the topics helps as well thank you

THANK YOU!!! I actually lost several friendships because I, as a bridesmaid, refused to participate in an overpriced batchlorette party where they were having a stripper. That was a hard limit because I was not comfortable putting my man in a position knowing or hypothesising what was going on. Shit hit the fan for other reasons too and we left the wedding early because of what was said the night before the wedding and during the wedding towards him and I (it was a nightmare that I should have ended but family ties etc. overruled it all... hard lessons learnt). I am totally onboard with the princess tea party! Having memorable moments, experiences or adventures with the friends who helped you to where you are right now has more value then a wild party. It's amazing the tools the right partner brings to our lives.

My husband and I are the same as you guys when it comes to cannabis. He smokes regularly. It helps him get things done as well as helping with anxiety and pain. I on the other hand don’t like the way it makes me feel but it is the only thing that helps my torn rotator cuff. I have found that if I eat half of a 10mg gummy I get the pain relief with out the feeling I don’t like.

I can do the same thing with some of the vapes they have them with a higher cbd content which helps balance that "high" feeling

Another good podcast. Boundaries are the number one thing you can do for yourself for self care.

So my husband and I did do bachelor and bachelorette party. However, my husband‘s bachelor party consisted of them going out to dinner and having a couple beers going to one of those super high speed go kart places and then go in and shoot guns. I love my bunch of rednecks lol. For me I was under 21 at the time so we really had to stay home which was what I wanted to do. Anyway, we had a Pure Romance party picked up some things to help spice up the marriage lol and have dinner and just enjoy each other‘s company and that was more me than I think any other thing would be because you guys are right. It’s about celebrating that next big step in your life.

okay just starting this as im catching up but I love the intro

Jen A

i've never understood the concept of bachelor parties. Me and my girls just went out for nails and hair. Hung out at my place watching disney movies. it was great

Jen A

Oh man. Chris was right i need this episode. One of the biggest mistakes I made was not staying firm on my boundries. Even though I set them out right from the beginning I didn't hold firm and it turned out very poorly for me.

Jen A

Oh trust me I fucked that up but good. And on some very serious issues. The last 5 years had just been me not holding the line on my boundaries.

theresa bloss

ok so now that im not on pain meds, does peaches have a hole in her sock

My "bachelorette party" was dinner and drinks then bowling with myself, my husband's sisters, our nieces, my aunt and my uncle (because my husband and uncle didn't want us to be without a male figure with us.) I thought I was alone in my thoughts that the "last hoorah before getting married" being unnecessary and inappropriate. Many woman in my life couldn't understand why I didn't do anything big or "fun".
