I like fairy tale girl more and more for finally standing up to mom when the boyfriend can't. Wait til mom asks them to stay in her hotel room for their honeymoon. "Still not into your fantasies."

The person whose house it is is supposed to say the prayer. You don't ask random guests to do it because it puts them on the spot, especially when you don't know their religion.

At best they will be uncomfortable, and at worst they will tell you your religion is stupid and wrong.

I posted two weeks ago about hormones. I must seem like an inept, complaining goblin. I really apologize if I seem stupid asking this. My "GF?" is around 12-16 weeks pregnant (we're scheduled for an ultrasound on Monday). Things have been going great since my last post up until yesterday. We had plans to go to dinner, we were excited to see each other play cards and watch a new show we started on Netflix. While I was at work she sent a text saying she feels fat, tired, stupid. She normally makes jokes about it too which i thought this was the case. I say "don't worry baby we'll see what prenatal vitamins the doctor prescribes on Monday." To which she says "ughhhhhh" "it doesn't fix everything."

Here is where I messed up. After that response I said "I'm leaving work in ten minutes." Because we were to meet up right after I leave work. It seemed dismissive and insensitive but it wasn't. I figured it's something we could talk in person. It was "me saying I'm leaving work soon so we can meet up." Her response was "whatever, maybe i'll hang out with my friend." To which I responded "what, why?" She said "you clearly don't want to be with me, so i'll be with someone who does." I said "baby I do want to be with you I was telling you when I was leaving." To paraphrase I was told she doesn't want to be with me right now and to leave her alone. I did, for six hours at home. I tried calling her and was ignored. And she was upset I called her 6 hours later. I told her I wanted to try and talk about this and work this out. She said there's nothing to talk about "you didn't care about me all day, why do you want to talk now." This wasn't true, I thought maybe she was feeling overwhelmed and just needed me to gently caress off for a few hours.

Here is where i'm having a huge problem. I told her I don't know what to do, I want to see you I want to fix this . Then she said "I wish your stupid baby wasn't in my stupid body." I was stunned and didn't respond. Five minutes later she said "it's not too late to get an abortion, thats what I want to do. I don't want your baby, and I don't want to be with you." This is the first time she referred to it as "my baby." She then changed her status on Facebook to nothing and hid it. I don't know what to do. I love her, and I care for her, I've begged for to not leave, and she told me nothing I say matters anymore. I haven't said anything since. I'm blown away. I didn't want an abortion, we were excited for the baby started shopping at "babies r us." Had names picked out. And honestly even more so, I certainly do not want to break up. I love her. What should I do? We also filled out applications to move in together the same day.

TLDR: I love her and I don't want to break up, Is this just hormones?

1. This is like the most bog standard thing in bible belt homes so I don't know how this is an issue of standing up to anybody, you are projecting so loving hard I'd think you were manufactured by Optoma
2. It's really common to ask a guest of honor to say grace for you and it doesn't have to be christian unless you decide it's christian.

Have you guys never been south of the mason-dixon line? You're making this out to be some kind of bizarre power game they play with people who come over and that's insane. You'll find people saying grace at nearly every formal meal in the bible belt. Half the drat table is atheist at our family gatherings and we still say grace! You're blowing something completely innocuous out of proportion, exactly like weird disrespectful atheist girlfriend did.

Saying a prayer to the christian god before eating is a christian thing

Leon Einstein posted:

I went to a private Christian school, and I was a troublemaker. The principal made me say a prayer before the entire school, and I guarantee that was a power play. So I know it's at least within the realm of possibility.

Yes, fine, you're all apostates in my eyes, go gently caress you are selves

Me [26M] with my girlfriend [28F] dating five months, changed her mind and wants an abortion and dumped me 2 days before we were to go for an ultrasound. Breakups

FabioClone posted:

Grew up in a Christian family and went to other church members' houses for dinner all the time. Person whose house it was always said grace, which seems to be a clearly better system since there's no chance of sky-wizard comebacks.

Im happy for the woman.

Not much else to add, just solidarity and support for topping the abortion with an extremely accurate summary of the problem

we dont do prayers at dinner in this country because we're not medieval loving villagers or whatever

jeez

you seriously sit down and pray to god at dinner every time??

a better system is raising your children not to date fat redditors

Werong Bustope posted:

Honestly I would politely decline saying Grace if asked even though I recognise that it's more of a social convention for many people but that's because I'm a secular Jew and would prefer not to be pressured into participating in Christian rituals no matter how divorced from actual religiosity they are. I don't think that's unreasonable, I'm not going to ask a gentile to say a brachah rishonah if they come to dinner at my house because it's not their culture. No need to be a huge dick about it like girlfriend.


This is only true if you're culturally Christian even if you don't practice or believe. It feels very different if you're a member of a minority religion in a Christian country which I realise you might not have experienced.

DragQueenofAngmar posted:

its extremely normal in the south to ask a guest to say grace, and also, its stupid as gently caress because it is absolutely a litmus test. even if it wasn't a litmus test when it was asked, if you decline it sure as gently caress becomes one in retrospect so the family can whisper about why you've forsaken god

source- grew up in and lived in the south for 25 years

can we stop now

then they'll rebel and date the fattest ones they can find.

To be fair, "it's tradition in the South" is a pretty good reason to get rid of any tradition, whether it's a weird religion litmus test or not.

jesus they've been dating for five months, so they were together for only 3 when she got pregnant. I really hope she goes through with it, this would be a horrible situation for everyone involved. This guy is way too in a hurry to be a dad.
