Echoing others here that I have followed Carrie for a long time, I think I started when she was secretly-not-secretly starting to date Pete (Tangled video), watched all through les mis days and addams etc. I dropped off during the pandemic cause like another tattler said everyone's videos became super long. I don't hate Carrie. I think there are valid points of criticism in the way she conducts herself at times, but I have never wished any ill will towards her. Suffice to say if you do read here Carrie, I know your instinct is to dismiss any comments about Joel and the speed of this relationship as just jealous horrid people who have nothing better to say. Who knows, Joel would probably try to say the same to defend himself. But there are people here who genuinely care and are deeply concerned for you. Many of us have been in your shoes with the absolute FEAR of being 30 and thinking WTF AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE, we understand. It is legit terrifying, but it will settle down and you'll be able to feel a little comforted that the world doesn't suddenly end. The partner I was with when I turned 30 would not have been a good match long term, I even considered settling but he turned out to be a completely different person full of secrets and infidelity and I look back now with relief.
You look so radiant and happy in your photos in Disney. That's how it should be with the person you plan to spend the rest of your life with. As someone who has often ignored their gut when something felt off, please listen to your instinct. Know that we will respect and support you if you do decide to break it off or even just pump the brakes for a while.
It feels bizarre for this to come from a tattle page of all places but honestly, the unity in this thread speaks volumes.
