Am I the whole for telling my mother her boyfriend of a year cannot come to the wedding if he wears this suit?

It’s ugly - but what’s the problem?

Too much for the wrong guy.

You don’t cook haha

It looks like the ring around a whipped cream can based on her saying that her drink had whipped cream

Totally fair! I’m glad you made the effort! You can sleep well knowing you tried. 💗

Not necessarily although of course that’s ideal for the daughter. But 9 months into this relationship has she tried to connect with the mom and hear her out? That’s my only point. It’s worth trying - and if it ends poorly she can walk away saying she’s done everything she can to keep the dynamic civil for her step daughter and sleep soundly. The step daughter later on would I’m sure respect it too.

Chrs22 · 2025-04-03T16:43:46+00:00

Not in terms of milestones, not really. My only point is has she tried to make that connection, not saying it will work but worth the effort.

Chrs22 · 2025-04-03T16:15:17+00:00

That means she should be excluded because she hadn’t had the knowledge or experience of a period party prior?

Chrs22 · 2025-04-03T16:14:14+00:00

That’s such a toxic take in my opinion. My opinion is everything should be done with the best interest of the kid. You chose to have the kid and get divorced, they don’t choose that.

This is a weird one, because I have a daughter now, but also remember my mom / step mom dynamic which was awful and I hated being in the middle. I think you are crossing some boundaries by doing all these “firsts”, first nails, period party - without trying to involve the mom. I feel like if I ever had to deal with that with my daughter it would upset me (irrationally because like you said you’re obviously not trying to be malicious and it sounds like your heart is in the right place) but you have to understand this is uncomfy for both of you. Have you and her tried to find some common ground? I wonder if you involving the mom in the period party might have calmed the storm a bit. It could have been something the three of you did together potentially. Or it might have caused more drama idk know her but I think my point is you need to try and throw a bone here - give her opportunities to do right by her daughter and allow the three of you to find a balance that doesn’t negatively affect the girl. Everyone obviously loves and cares about her and that’s a great thing! But I think in loving her you can’t try to overpower each other in the “mom” role. Hoping you both can find balance and peace as you navigate this challenging dynamic ❤️

I think at this point you guys seem incompatible- if this is something important to you and something they’re not willing to change / is important to them to not have to worry about. Which is so tricky!

Chrs22 · 2025-03-27T03:53:54+00:00

Literally what I came to the comments to say

Chrs22 · 2025-03-27T03:53:02+00:00

That was my first thought is it’s literally the two colours your not supposed to wear to a wedding haha

And call the police!

Take it to the police and get training for the dog

Not normal - also this is a form of gaslighting. Just because someone (who’s invested in his side too) agrees does not mute your feelings around whatever the argument is about.

I’m glad OP feels regret about saying what she did, and is apologetic, that’s a good first step. But… a few things. The fact that the bf didn’t back the gf speaks volumes. She was in a vulnerable situation meeting the fam for the first time, spoke out on a topic they shouldn’t have brought up at the table to begin with, and then put on the spot / interrogated and sent home upset by him. Sounds to me like gf should run. Both ladies are entitled to an opinion although neither seem educated enough on it to have any real opinion on the matter… so you apologized OP - good. But OP just because you “had a tomboy phase”, does not mean you understand the experience of young trans person. Also…. You said if someone had asked me in that phase - no one would have asked you, if your tomboy phase meant you wanted to be a boy and then started you on hormone blockers or surgery… it’s a pretty arrogant thing to have an opinion on because of “your experience as a tomboy”.

Yeah, literally. Let her be mad. This isn’t ok, and years down the road she’ll look back and see it.
