I had a serious word with my mum a few months in that she was ruining the whole thing for me, and can either get on the bus or end up scarring the whole thing. She was actually amazing from then on. Might be worth having serious conversations, let them know it is a problem?

Why would someone want to have a wedding honestly? It’s super stressful and so unnecessary. Does it even end up being a positive memory in the future?

I was just talking to my mom yesterday about mine and told her I wanted to have a nice bottle of wine at my husband and I’s table... she laughed hysterically and then goes “wait do you actually think your going to get to sit down and enjoy the evening?!” ... really making me re-think it all!! 😖

Yes! I’m in the middle of wedding planning and it is rough. So many opinions that I don’t need when it comes to the dress, cake and guest list. I wish we had done a destination wedding for just the two of us.

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9.

I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.

My gf and I are having a big discussion and I would love to get your thoughts on this. It’s about how much we keep in touch and communicate when I’m on the road. She needs to hear from me everyday multiple times and if I don’t answer her texts within a few hours, she can get quite controlling (text over and over again, also on my work phone, asks what I am doing and gets upset). I am not used to that and have the trust if she doesn’t text back, that it’s for good reasons, busy at work…. (Ctd)

Can someone please explain this about what is expected from men? On the one hand men are expected to have 6 feet, 6 figures, 6 pack. No kids, must be funny, must be charming, must be a leader of something, must drive a car, must own their own house, must cook and clean, and so forth and so on. And on the other hand I keep hear women complaining that "the bar for men is sooo low"

So what is it really?

hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

Anyone have a spouse/partner who is a picky eater?

I grew up with two french bodybuilders for parents and enjoy super minimally seasoned, whole, unprocessed foods (yes, we were the weird house for not having goldfish as kids), and I live with my handsome man from a beautiful Mexican family who cook with many flavors but also eat out a LOT.

He is okay about my cooking as it is 90% veggies, but some nights he’s blunt that he’s picky, and I whine about going out. Thoughts?
