    Hey Elise. I hope you don't let these partly very boundary overstepping comments get to you that much. It feels like some people are taking the mere fact that they are subscribed to your channel as an excuse to read too much into the things happening in your private life right now. It worries me, since they assume you're being in a bad relationship, while behaving pretty damn toxic themselves in these comments 🥴 Being sympathetic is one thing, but straight up telling you to break up with your partner because of some weird and unfounded suspicions/allegations, is so bad. Please enjoy your little trip to Italy. I'm rooting for you 🧡

      I am sorry but I have say if something is bad, if a relationship has red flags , and we as followers have opinions, I survived Domestic Abuse not only physical but mental , a man should stand for his woman and protect her , not letting anybody to take advantage of her not even from his own family , you cannot just see something that it doesn’t seems right and not say a thing , in the end is her decision to stay in the relationship but at least we told her what she may not see , because love blind us

    We are responsible only for ourselves. We always have a choice, no matter how difficult the situation. We can choose to accept it, resist it or change it. We can give and receive support, we cannot choose for any other capable adult, only ourselves. Even significant others have to do selfcare for themselves. Your life, your body, your decisions. Only you can do the best for you.

    Coming from the perspective of someone who spent a lot of money and labor remodeling my own home… to be honest, I was surprised that you were having such a large part in remodeling a home owned and financed by someone else. It’s such a stressful and financially challenging endeavor… there is no way I would have let others make decisions, even with the people I love and hold dear. Even in the best of situations, there are conflicts... and the reality for the one paying the bills is that it comes down to simple economics. My advice (not that you’re asking) is to focus on self-care and getting yourself situated in your own home, and taking the rest slowly.

    I am kind of in the middle here:
    1) Let‘s reflect on ourselves here, not just Elise. Quite few of us seem very much involved here emotionally, I feel it myself.
    2) We do not know very much about the circumstances OR what exactly happend and why it happend. That‘s a fact not to be discussed away.
    3) There are red flags. And a community might function as a collective intelligence.
    4) Elise works in public space and „working“ with her community’s comments is part of her job. She‘ll manage, even if it might mean some discomfort.
    5) None of us is responsible for her - we are responsible for ourselves. Comment or not, pro or anti her boyfriend or whatever.
    6) It‘s easy to project ones own history onto other people. But It‘s easier to see patterns from the outside as well. So 1:1 here.

    Hi Elise. Keeping your little cottage is absolutely the right thing to do now as it’s yours and is your peaceful place which gives you a sense of pride and independence feeling that nobody else was involved in your choice to purchase it. You look so much better and although there will be challenges ahead, it’s good for you to get away from things and get in touch with yourself again. Indulge yourself in all the things that bring you the most pleasure- life passes us by so quickly and you deserve to enjoy it and be happy. Have a great time on your trip to Italy and take care.🧡🍂🍁

    I've read a quote once that always makes me laugh during difficult times and this is the quote "Adulthood is like looking both ways before crossing the street and then getting hit by an airplane". Life has it's ups and downs. You're boyfriend's advise was spot on... I'm a Taurus like you and I know how we are. Let your feet land before trying to come up with solutions. That was great to hear those words spoken to you.

      I love the quote. It did make me chuckle because it’s so true. I have a daughter who is a Taurus, and I’m a Taurus rising. That being said, sometimes Taurus can have a tendency to stay in situations that aren’t the best for them because they don’t like and sometimes fear change, because they crave security so badly. Though her boyfriend’s words were wise, I’m hoping, (and this pure speculation because none of us know what has occurred here……that her decision to stay is her decision only, and that she’s not in any way being manipulated into staying because she feels like she has no where else to go at the moment. ❤

    I know that likely everyone commenting, myself included, doesn’t know you or your situation personally but there are a lot of wise words being shared. Here’s mine. You bring so much joy to this world & deserve someone who consistently appreciates and respects you. The surprise trip sounds a lot like “love bombing”. For example, my ex would use grand gestures like expensive gifts to make up real problems he brought into our relationship. The real problems never really got fixed because he never put genuine and consistent effort into showing up as a better partner. My current partner is nothing like my ex. He shows up with his full heart, listens intently and I have never once felt unsafe with him. It sounds like you’ve been seeing some red flags and I think you should listen to your intuition.

    The problem with the cottage isn't the heat, its having no water at all. Its either a 2 or 3 season cottage. They turn the water off in the whole area there. So it's not livable in the winter. Maybe for a few days if she brings big things of water with her. I do agree, I would get a electric fireplace heater for living area. It would keep it really warm and look cozy. Even summer nights she could turn it on without the heat just for ambiance.

    I would not be slowly moving my things into my boyfriends place while things are trying to be repaired between you.
    My opinion is not asked for but because Ive lived through alot as a woman( just consider us all Aunties) I have a little advice:
    Trips are wonderful! Travel,see more whenever you can. Never lose your independant ,natural self. Keep your cottage. You worked so hard. A mood board is so perfect.
    I do think it may be time to look for your own next home. To make your own. To chill in, watch movies etc. And meet up ,spend some nights at your bf's place. But keep your own until things are sure. Concentrate on your business too in your own space. If things ever go wrong you would not be stuck in his space. Many of us know all to well the ups and downs. Just a piece of advice you can take or leave . Just be safe.

You were either misled or used and manipulated by the boyfriend’s father! He should be furious for what you have gone through!! Why wasn’t he helping your family get your stuff out ‘ in the middle of the night’ ?!? And why did you have to do it in the middle of the night? There is something wrong here. We all live and adore you and respect you! Make sure boyfriend is doing the same! If he can’t stand up to his greedy father, there is something wrong. You deserve the very best in life! Don’t let anyone treat you otherwise. And I would hand the boyfriend’s father a bill for all of the labor you put in that house! It’s clearly documented from your videos how hard you worked! And YOU did the hard work! I might sound harsh and tough…but I got this way from being used by other people…especially boyfriend’s who didn’t deserve me. I now put up with nothing! Our son says, “ no one messes with my mom! She’ll put the fear of God in them!” And it’s true. Women need to stick up for themselves…and all our female ( and male, if they deserve it) friends. Forgive me if I’m making assumptions..but the story you have told us tells me I’m not wrong. That father and boyfriend do not deserve you worrying about their reputations.

And now she is stating she has to sell some of her own personal clothing for money, then in the next breath she is off to Italy for a week on holiday. I see other comments about the rabbit. I can see if many people are allergic to the rabbit and if moving in with her boyfriend. Why is it that Elise now has the financial issues, when she is not paying rent on an apartment, her boyfriend’s parents paid for the new home and renovation costs, so why all of a sudden the selling of personal items for Money. I could see selling them because they have enough materialistic things and are combining them. The boyfriend seems to not have the same financial issues as he is going to Italy and not selling his clothing.

    No matter where you live, you always make your places look like the most cozy place in the world! I love it, and I pay attention to every and each detail of your decoration. In fact, I mentioned you today, when I was buying paint for my bedroom and I told my daughter that I saw you painting your apartment before you moved out of it. I was so scared of doing renovations, but you motivate me and I'm daring more because of you! Thank you. We wish you all the best. Just relax and everything will be better than you had imagined, after all this. Hugs from Brazil.

      The thing I don’t understand WHY DID her boyfriend not help her mother, sister and brother move her out at 2 am. Where was the boyfriend when all of this was going on and then she is living at his place. Why did she have to go in the middle of the night with her contents of the house in such a hurry. Something does not sound right. Where was the boyfriend at 2 am, if she lives with him. Did he not know she was moving at 2 am with her mother, sister and brother and bringing things to his place? That is why people are sceptical about her story. The boyfriend does not help her ESCAPE as she noted in the middle of the night and NOW he is taking her to ITALY. She is going on about having to sell her own wardrobe to get money she needs and could do something illegal, then says she is joking. Another thing is, if you are moving with your boyfriend into that new home, it had been completely renovated, maybe not to her decorating likes, but it was completely renovated and her and her boyfriend could have moved in, lived together for a while and then renovated step my step. Now the house is in a shambles all taken apart and unfinished. Something does not sit right from the beginning on the family plan of this new home.

    "My Boyfriend Planned A Secret Trip"... Gurlll RUN❤

  • @plumblossomed
    @plumblossomed 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    I never really comment on other people's life situations on the internet. I'm a complete stranger here, and of course, every choice you make in your life is yours and yours alone, so commenting on it seems sort of pointless. But you do share a huge chunk of your private life publicly, regularly take questions and say you are open to input and advice, and so I suppose you are used to and/or okay with people having thoughts around that.
    When I first stumbled upon your channel, I was surprised to find that I was concerned enough about this situation, that I felt compelled to say something. I had concerns back at the beginning of the abandoned house situation, but the number of red flags here, continue to increase, and do give me pause. So, here I am, giving unsolicited advice on the internet. Clearly I don't know the whole situation, so if my assumptions around the information you have shared are factually incorrect, apologies. Do with my two cents whatever you like.
    I assumed, based on how all this went down (your family having to basically rescue you and your stuff in the dead of night), that your boyfriend's parents were becoming combative and abusive around the old house renovation situation, and that your boyfriend was not supporting or standing up for you in that. If he was, he would have not allowed his family to treat you that way.
    If your boyfriend wouldn't (or couldn't) support you in this situation, and prioritize your safety, then just know that he certainly won't support you when it's important in the future either. Please know that if his parents were willing to treat you that way, then that is what was modeled to him as an appropriate way to treat someone he is in a relationship with, and the fact that he didn't push back on them when they treated you that way, and it was your family who had to intervene, instead, means that he either condones it, or he is not healed or emotionally mature enough to stand up and do what is right when it comes to drawing boundaries between his parents and other important people in his life. Unless he is willing to do a great deal of work on himself, this will not change.
    It is also very odd to me that he is giving you advice on how to process your emotions around what is essentially an abusive situation where HIS parents were the perpetrators, and where he was so indifferent to their treatment of you, that it was your family who had to whisk down there and move you out in a rush. This surprise 'apology vacation' is also a major red flag. I was honestly kinda on the fence about commenting on this situation at all, but you mentioning that trip clinched it for me. Surprise trips to Italy do not smooth over or make up for the fact that you have just been through a pretty major trauma at the hands of his parents, and he did so little about it that your family were the ones who had to take action.
    I understand that these things can be very confusing and painful, and take time to work through emotionally, but please consider you and your safety first and foremost. One of the first steps toward healing, is that you need to be in a space that is psychologically, emotionally and physically safe enough for you to be able to process this situation, feel your feelings, and not keep running up against situations with the perpetrators (and I include your boyfriend in that category, due to his inaction) that are going to re-trigger you, or upset you further.
    Please take care of yourself. I am glad to know that you are keeping your cottage, and have some creative plans for it. That is exciting, and it's good to know that you still feel that creative drive, have a desire to create a beautiful space for yourself, and will have a place to go when you need to. I hope that the holiday season will be restful for you, and that you will be able to move into the New Year with strength, peace and hope.

But, everyday, she's there.. standing... fighting... trying." I think a bunch of us can relate to that. My wishes are that you get your own cottage one day. In the meantime I wish you joy and happiness wherever you lay your head until that dream is fulfilled. Peace and love from Florida! 💚🌻🌺

    I think it’s good here to remember what you have instead of what you lost. You have a business, you have a tiny house and obviously you still have a roof over your head and a boyfriend who cares. I don’t like to watch click bait videos and I don’t like TH-camrs who I have followed for years and who I am emotionally invested in, post videos that provide breadcrumbs. I feel like that has happened. Maybe it would have been better to wait until everything was sorted out before posting anything because we have all been hanging on and I have been worried. If you are in the public eye you have a responsibility to those who you have engaged with to think about how it affects them. I don’t mean to sound harsh, I just feel a bit stressed by this content. I wish you all the best Elise, from the bottom of my heart.
