Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s never fun to feel unsupported by family members . We all have our own things, our own lives, but there are some crucial moments where it’s appropriate to put aside your own things for the sake of family. Some people are better at this than others. Some people have a hard time letting go of their immediate self-interest for a greater good, to toss aside your own wants to compromise with someone else. In my opinion, compromising is one of th…

Sounds like she dodged a bullet

Weddings are joyous occasions commemorating the union of two people you love. However, how would you feel on the day of the wedding if you found out that the person you believed to be your friend and someone you loved deeply wasn't feeling the same things as you since they hadn't invited you to share on their special day? The story below is an account of a frustrated friend. The original poster (OP) and the bride have been friends since fifth grade. As a result, OP was overjoyed to hear that he…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When planning your wedding, it’s normal to want to curate it exactly h ow you want it to be; from the cake, music, venue, and guests, it’s all your say. We’ve all heard the term ‘bridezilla,’ but let’s face it, it’s her wedding so she has the right. It wouldn't be the first time that someone outside of the bride and groom chose to try and dictate wedding plans. Inappropriate, but some people lack that kind of tact. This brings us to the Reddit piece. It’s abou…

Yikes!

“In my eyes, he was fawning over another woman while I was just in the next room.”

You are called the mother of the bride for a reason. It's not your wedding.

The Maid of Honor is the one who made it uncomfortable

“The entire situation just made me feel [terrible], and I got pretty upset. He started laughing because he said it wasn't a big deal and I should just give him his space.”

The goal is marriage. You eventually walk down the aisle toward the person you will spend the rest of your life—and maybe start a family with—after a period of courting during which you get to know your partner through both his and her best and worst moments. The story below is an account of a frustrated wife. The original poster (OP) recently married the person she believed to be her true love. They are now officially married after three years of dating and a year of engagement. However, the m…

Just had to invite your cousin’s aunt’s best friend’s neighbor’s cat’s landlord, let me explain why…

It was all yellow!

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. A wedding is a special occasion for the bride and groom, and usually the bride has a bit more preferences about the way things should go. Because it’s customary for the bride to wear white on her big day, it’s typical that guests refrain from wearing that color. It’s bad luck, and it’s just plain rude. It’s saying, ‘I don’t care that it’s your day, I’m going to make it about me.’ This can be especially obvious and hurtful when it’s not just any guest, but it’s…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Marriage isn’t what it used to be. It used to be more common, with a lot of emphasis put on its sanctity. Divorce was less common, and even looked down upon. Through high divorce rates, or watching your parents contempt for each other, people are looking at marriage through a different lens than before. People are waiting, they’re getting married later, and sometimes they’re not getting married at all. In this Reddit piece, the woman here tells…

Whose side are you on?

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all know what it’s like to feel jealousy. That pang of nausea, like there’s a pit in your stomach that you can’t mitigate. Like your head is swirling with thoughts and fears of betrayal, feeling like all your worst nightmares are enclosing around you. It makes us feel worthless, undesirable, and insecure. I think it’s safe to say that no one likes that feeling. It’s even worse when it’s from people you thought you could trust, such as your f…
