Never invite anyone to your wedding, not even your partner. Have it alone in your basement, in secret, and make sure the damned cat is locked out of the room while you do it. I’m guessing there’s some lovely history between the mom and the cousin that the cousin didn’t feel comfortable airing in public. Makes more sense than her just singling out one aunt out of eight to snub.

Labes for days posted:You can invite who you want to your wedding but it's sort of a dick move to exclude one in particular and announce this to her at a gathering of family and friends who were all invited without giving an explanation more than a vague "well you didn't come to my birthday parties when I was younger." exactly. ultimately, a wedding is for the people getting married, period. guest lists are a hell of a thing and sometimes tough decisions have to be made. they should invite who they want. however in a situation like this that so obviously has the potential to cause hurt feelings, it’s important to have a reason you feel comfortable articulating to the person’s face and then do the gracious and considerate thing and get out in front of it, not loving humiliate the woman to her face at a family event edit: also, in much the same way as “ultimately, they don’t have to invite anyone they don’t want to, regardless of the reason”, invitees don’t ever have to accept if they don’t want to, regardless of the reason. Props to grandma for standing up for her daughter. edit again: also the aunt does not owe them a gift and should not get them one. that’s a pretty classic open-and-shut case of wedding etiquette; if you’re invited, you bring or send a gift regardless of if you go (weddings are the only event where this is traditionally the case), and if you’re not invited, you are under no obligation to give them a gift, and should not because it is likely to seem passive-aggressive. invitees give wedding gifts, non-invitees don’t, period.

Maybe a leg is different, but shouldn't she not really be in much if any pain at this point? When I broke my foot and was in a cast that I could walk around in it wasn't ever painful, just inconvenient. Also this woman is insane.

Bored posted:What a piece of poo poo. Ever listened to Nick Woodman (GoPro founder) talk about how he totally succeeded all on his own through hard work and determination because he and his wife sold shells out of their van and made the $30,000 they needed to start his business? Then they went to his parents who gave them $235,000. Some people are just that loving clueless.

My wife’s boyfriend just looked up his and found he was owed $1800 from his insurance company lol. Must be nice to forget about that much change between the cushions. Gorefluff posted:I’m ashamed to admit I got caught up in the SC hype early on, when it still had a glimpse of being a reality. I don’t remember what I spent on jpg pre-orders (I think I borrowed half from my wife’s boyfriend at the time and never paid him back lol) but I guess I probably my would have wasted that money on anime or replica katanas anyway. Gorefluff posted:Well my wife’s boyfriend has been paying the rent the last few months (YouTube screwed me in their latest update so money has been tight) so it’s hard to really argue about it. It’s cool though, my dad is a great cook!

Then they went to his parents who gave them $235,000. Two companies I worked for had a mandatory hours long meetings where the founder gave a speech about how they started. Both played up the hard up part and very, very quietely skiped the parts where they were able to secure loans worth about a half a million from the parents and pitch their parents friends as early investors. What a coineky-dink

I [33f] want my stepdaughter [14f] to get an abortion but she and her father [42m] are against it. I don't want to raise her child.quote:Okay so I found out my stepdaughter (whom I've raised since she was 3 her mother is MIA on drugs somewhere) intentionally got pregnant. She and her "fiance" have been planning this out together. The thing is she was always a good kid until he came around. I hate to sound cliche but I feel like this boyfriend is the reason all of this is happening. I try to set good boundaries and I never let them be alone so my assumption is they've been cutting school to do this. When she told me she was beaming and I just sobbed in my room after screaming at her that she was a loving idiot. I realize I should've handled it better but I was in shock. My real question is, how old is the ‘fiancé’? Lady should run.

Yikes, this lady sounds like a big whiny baby with something to prove. She constantly needs validation about how amazing she is and looks down her nose at other women for not being "tough" like her. This woman is TOXIC.

I guess it's a sociopath day: Boyfriend (26m) after one year of being with me (26f) tells me he has never loved me and states he is a sociopath that has never loved, even his parents. How can someone be with someone else if they don't like them? And how can I cope because I feel like I'm losing my reality. quote:The start of our relationship was a lot like fireworks. I was sort of seeing his friend so we got to know each other while hanging out. He was cute, charming, witty and thoughtful. We liked the same things and had the same sense of humor. As soon as I stopped seeing his friend, we hung out and ended up sleeping together. He immediately said I was his girlfriend which I didn't think much of since I was head over heels into this guy, and asked me to move in. I wasn't ready for that so I said no and he replied whenever you're ready. The next year was the greatest I ever had. We did so many things together (paid to take me to see the snow, visited his sister in another state) and our families met and got along. Our lives were super intertwined. He bought me a new laptop since I didn't have a computer and always took me out to eat (trying to show he wasn't using me for money). He would do little things that I thought was cute and we had a billion catch phrases. He never said anything about not being happy. I [26F] think my boyfriend [32M] is actually a psychopath... quote:I've been dating my boyfriend for just six short months and have come to the conclusion that he is a psychopath.

The second psychopath I read as a 31 year old virgin who basically was able to keep that under wraps and find a girl who fell for all the romantic stuff he did, and was truly over the moon because this was the first time he was ever experiencing any of that, but 6 months into the relationship now realizes relationships are not the fantasy he built up in his head and his girlfriend actually has flaws and he has no idea how to process that.

Second guy is like a living breathing red flag though, dunno if he's a psychopath and don't care but she should run the gently caress away. Edit: Reread it and: - relationship moved way too fast, declarations of love after mere weeks - loads of flattery giving way to nothing - minimises her emotions, plays it off as a joke - "allows" her to meet with friends, but makes her feel bad if she does - doesn't want her to improve herself/suspicious of her self improvement - expects her to be constantly available - punishes her if she's not - claims to have made a financial investment in her by reducing his work hours when they first met (?!) Run, lady. Your boyfriend is the example page from a textbook about abusive relationships. small ghost fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Feb 6, 2018 |
