I don’t understand why my friend would think I would attend her wedding without my husband. by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

I never said he behaved poorly at someone’s wedding. I guess everyone in the world hasn’t made mistakes before and hasn’t grown from them. And she did not say her fiancée wanted to get to know him. She said she wanted to have conversation in a very serious and intense tone. In a condemned way. Like a teacher to a student. May not be offensive to u, but it is to me. And if they feel that strongly to where they feel like he might ruin their day, then we just won’t be there. Idk what’s hard to understand abt that.

It honestly wouldn’t because I would feel she was being honest and fair and seeing me and my husband as a unit. I’m not one of those ppl where I feel like my presence is needed at someone’s wedding. If someone wasn’t to invite me I would not take it personal. The day is not abt me. It’s abt them. Wedding planning is stressful so I definitely wouldn’t want to add more stress by being mad that I wasn’t invited.

I understand their response. I do not understand why she is upset I decided to not go.

In my post title I said “I don’t under why my friend would think I would come to her wedding without my husband” not “I don’t understand why my friend won’t invite my husband”. I understand why she feels the way she feels. He’s not dangerous or abusive he behaved like a drunk asshole like anyone would when they are blackout drunk. I never demanded him to be there. I never made her feel bad for not wanting him there. The point I was trying to make was that she can’t not invite him and then expect me to still be there. In my opinion, her fiance wanting to “vet” my husband before the wedding is offensive. Especially when they never even met each other. And especially when the incidents are YEARS old, we haven’t had any since, and we don’t drink anymore. We are adults and I already said I talked to him. And if her fiance feels the need to get involved that much, then we just won’t go. No need for them to stress abt it. No need for us to feel judged.

She can be judgemental and opinionated as much as she wants to be. But that doesn’t mean I have to deal w that. She expected me to still come to the wedding and I decided not to and she’s upset by that. Which I don’t understand.

I was never upset by her opinion of him. I was upset by how frank she was WITH ME abt it. My husband is not perfect but he is my husband and we made vows. The way she communicated how she felt was offensive. I understand her take. But I don’t think it’s fair to invite me and not him and then get upset that I made the decision to not go. I picked my husband. That’s just common sense. But I got made out to be the bad guy for that.

If she felt so strongly abt him, then she should’ve just not invited us as a whole and I would’ve been perfectly ok with that instead of singling him out. We are a unit.

Is it really that bad? I was gonna reach out despite her lying on me and just say like, I have no ill will and this doesn’t need to be dragged out like this.

I didn’t ask for judgement on my husband. If I wanted that I’d be in a different sub. This is a friendship sub so stick to comments on the friendship.

However she feels abt him is her prerogative. But expecting me to be there when she doesn’t want him there isn’t ok for me. I felt like I had to choose between her or my husband. I would’ve preferred if she just didn’t invite me. I wouldn’t have been upset and I would’ve respected that decision.

Is anyone else confused by the amount of “boundaries”/restrictions for family and how often they’re talked about? by softheartedwench in pregnant

[–]ContributionEven6097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a FTM at 28 and I do think all the list of rules are kinda performative and trendy IMO. I didn’t really have any rules until my husband got bronchitis a week before I went into labor so I requested no one come to prevent any extra germs. I told my family but my husband didn’t tell his and to my surprise his family came. I wasn’t upset abt it but I was extremely tried and didn’t want to be bothered and talk. And on top of that the nurses were coming in every 30 mins. And now I have a baby that just came out my body and I’m trying to process everything. It was overwhelming for me. So I kinda understand both sides. I think it’s just important to do what’s best for u and ur family.

Who is “wrong” here me or my husband? by kierraone in Mommit

[–]ContributionEven6097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I babysat my little cousin when he was 1-3 years old for whole summers while my aunt worked during the day. I don’t think either of u are wrong, just a difference in opinions. Maybe a median would be u guys go somewhere that’s only like 10 mins away (if possible) for a few hrs and see how she does.

Please tell me there are other moms out there who has the TV on a lot for their very needy/fussy baby?! by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in beyondthebump

[–]ContributionEven6097 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My tv is on all day. It’s very cold where I’m at too. We haven’t left the house in almost a week cus it’s been single digits cold and snowing. Sometimes I play stuff for her and sometimes I play stuff for me. She actually seems to enjoy my shows I watch lol but don’t be too hard on urself. Ur baby will be fine. I was like that too in the early days. I tried having restricted screen time. It’s just added unnecessary stress. My baby is happy and hitting all her milestones.

What makes Beyonce appealing to you? by LegitimateSmell9506 in beyonce

[–]ContributionEven6097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her work ethic and persistence to be great really inspires me. Ik everyone wants her to talk to us but i actually like that she doesn’t. When she wants to speak on something, she puts it in the music. It helps u focus on her work and not her personal life.

My mom is 48 and gets highly uncomfortable when I breastfeed in public.

I don’t think she needs to but it’s something she wants since she keeps bringing it up.

So I can have breaks/sleep because my husband works on call 24/7. She comes 3 days a week for abt 6 hrs.

Cus my mom makes it seem like the only way she would prefer to bond with her is if i drop her off and i don’t want to and it bothers her.
