Lol went to dinner at the inlaws. We recently got engaged after dating for over a decade. FIL waited until my SO and MIL were out of the room and said, "I have no idea why you two finally decided to do this, but for MILs sake, thank you"

Ladies, please help me out here. My gf didn’t post any stories from a week long road trip we just did. Next weekend she went on a trip with her friends and keeps posting pics from there. I generally don’t care about these things but it’s just such an obvious difference. Why? Does it mean anything?

My number one insecurity is how alone I am.
I don't have family. I don't have close friends anymore after I finally stood up for myself and cut off the toxic ones. I'm also single.

I don't like being alone but it's hard to find a true friend or S/O I truly love. So it's hurts a lot when people ask me "who are your friends, even" or "what are you doing for the holidays with your family"? I feel pathetic even though I know I did nothing wrong...

My bf took a guys trip to Caribbean to celebrate a good friend of 20+ year’s milestone bday. The friend’s bday is the day before mine. Normally bf and I trip for my bday over the holiday weekend. Bf will be back for my actual bday, and we’re taking a domestic trip next weekend. That said, I still feel a little miffed that we’re not spending this weekend together like normal. Are my feelings unreasonable?
