That bride is an rear end in a top hat and I don't think she (the girlfriend) would be out of line asking her boyfriend to have a little chat with his friend.

e: I doubt he'd talk to her considering what he did in the first place

I understand that her boyfriend has trouble acting in that situation but drat, I can't imagine just letting her just walk out while I stayed there. I wouldn't give a gently caress about "making a scene" if somebody publicly humiliated my wife like that. Especially considering "making a scene" is leaving with your girlfriend.

Basically this person's problem is that she was invited to the ceremony (which she went to) and the reception (which hadn't happened yet at the time of the writing) but not the "breakfast" (the thing she was kicked out of). There should not be events at your wedding that only some guests are invited to (apart from your rehearsal obv which is only for your wedding party). This bride overcomplicated things and feelings were bound to get hurt.

I'm going to go reread the post but I believe part of the problem was that she was invited to everything. There was nothing on the invitation suggesting they weren't both invited to everything.

I was a master of ceremony at a tiered wedding, close friends and family came to the small ceremony, more guests came to the reception and stayed for dinner, and they invited loads of people to the party.
It was fine even though some people misunderstood the invitation and showed up earlier than expected, we just went with it and arranged more seating without mentioning it because they're your guests and that's tacky as hell.

If the location and budget allow for it, it would definitely be easier to just invite everyone to the whole thing but this couple really wanted to have everyone there at the party and compromised on the other events. Regardless, even if your wedding is a logistical nightmare it's insanely rude to just turn people away. I wonder if the boyfriend knew OP wasn't welcome and that's why he kept his mouth shut, it's hard to believe anyone would let their gf walk out into the rain without even trying to intervene. Dump his rear end.

You're making it sound like you should always account for the unexpected when planning large events. Surely you can't mean such a thing, can you?

There is a very big difference to a well disciplined kid and a kid that just does whatever the gently caress cause their parents don't care. Like, when your kid starts acting out, you are going to tell them to stop. You aren't gunna let them annoy the poo poo out of everyone else in the area. There are a lot of lovely parents who do. These are the same people who say poo poo like "oh but you get paid to do it" when their kid makes a huge mess because they didn't stop them doing it.

A good parent will see their kid acting out and not expect the rest of the world to be babysitters. Working in hospitality, my favourite is parents who treat my work like a daycare and us as carers and are completely unapologetic.

I agree there is a difference. My point is that I don't think a lot of r/childfree sees that difference.

I work in golf and while it's rare, people do bring their kids with them and sometimes the kids act up enough that I have to threaten to kick them out because their "playing" may be hundreds if not thousands in damages. Usually it's annoying but the one situation that truly pissed me off wasn't even customers. I was leaving for the night and saw kids playing soccer on a green. Turns out one of the residents sent their kids across the street to the green while they watched from their porch.

In theory, maybe. OP was already amped up about the confrontation and may have made a snap decision. Anger + Arenaline + Threat to life = a lot of different outcomes.Or maybe he secretly wanted a minor injury so he could point out that his brother was actually deranged but got more than he bargained for.

No details on what he's said to these made-up women though.

The only solution is to start messaging the catfish profiles about how he hates all the things his girlfriend is insecure. "I wish she had your nose...hers looks like somebody tried to pull it off when she was a baby"

It's the only solution.

Even when I was an incel/nice guy/whatever, I kept that poo poo to myself and suffered in silence. Not even once did the thought of panty thievery, voyeurism, rifling through belongings in general, breaking up a relationship, "just making a move and seeing if she's cool with it" or poo poo like that cross my mind, or even if it did (seriously can't recall any times) I didn't act on it. Maybe that's a positive side effect of clinical depression since early childhood?

Hell, even when I was going through my first period of mania at 26 and I ended ruining a great friendship, I waited until she had been out of a relationship for a few months and wasn't actively dating anyone, tried to feel things out a bit (this is around where my bipolar disorder decided to say hello for the first time), and then drunkenly wrote her a multiple page letter confessing my love and that I'd also like to gently caress her and then I did some mild stalking for a few months. Just letters and flowers and having her picture as my phone background and kissing it good morning. Y'know, lightly Crazy poo poo. She figured out to just cut all contact with me after a couple months. I got better.

Who the gently caress goes through someone's underwear?

Hey bipolar buddy who also ruined a great friendship! Mine isn't exactly the same and to be fair, she treated me similarly to how the lesbian is treating that poster (cuddling, holding hands, changing in front of him, light kissing, etc.) but bipolar disorder definitely played a part in how I handled it and how the friendship ended.

Open relationships are weird. If you want one, you end up just getting cucked and being essentially celibate. If you don't want one, your gf will throw hot girls at you and get angry when you won't gently caress them.

It's such a weird feeling to see drugs out in the open like the person just doesn't give a gently caress. My first year in college, I was at lunch with a girl who just pulled out the same thing out of her backpack when she was looking for her keys. I somewhat suspect she wanted us to see them but it was still weird.

People who are adamant about being picky eaters are also usually adamant about being insufferable in general.

I know someone who had a family history of diabetes and was told if he didn't cut it out with his '"America in the summer" type of palate', he was gonna end up diabetic as gently caress. Several excuses and complaints like 'vegetables aren't real food' later, he's now a proud owner of insulin syringes with his diet still intact.

Pizza lunch with picky eaters is also a chore because anything other than cheese or pepperoni is gonna turn into a short story about vegetable incompatibility.

I only *like* pepperoni, sausage, and olive toppings but I'll eat anything but mushrooms on pizza and still enjoy it. Mushrooms are a total no-go.

I knew a guy when I worked at a hotel who had a shoe collection. Limited editions, would wear any one pair once a month or so, kept em spotless. He had at least 50 pairs. The big sports shoes manufacturers do limited runs for nerdy collectors and rap stars.

I tried desperately to get ahold of one of the "Alien Stomper" remakes of Ellen Ripley's space sneakers from Alien once. I think I had looked into the crazy shoe poo poo because of that guy and it just happened that there was something I wanted. They make runs of like 50 shoes and poo poo, though, so good luck.

I had a coworker who would buy the limited jordans and poo poo like that. He wore a pair to work and stepped in a mud puddle once. Lost his goddamn poo poo over it which was somewhat amusing since when he wore any of them, he'd make sure to bring it up to whoever would listen.

Real answer: I consider it a happy ending because they found it early and the boyfriend forced her to go and if it was left up to her, she would just continue hearing people narrating to themselves until she dropped dead at a stoplight.

Also because she doesn't have severe schizophrenia. Obviously brain tumors are horrible as well but poo poo, I'd kill to find out my mental illness is curable with surgery, even if it's risky as hell.

That's not standard teenage behavior and that's a terrible approach to parenting.

Also I just can't imagine separate finances working for my marriage. My wife and I just make sure we've cleared it with each other before we spend any money. I'm sure there's plenty of other reasons for it but keeping separate accounts to protect yourself from one another sounds like there's no trust in that marriage.
