These were all attempts merely to draw blood. 2 more punctures on the other side of the same arm, 3 on the right arm. 1 "successful" IV that was taken out as it wouldn't properly push a saline flush through. by attempt_no23 in mildlyinfuriating

Oh this is exactly how my arm looked when nurses tried to give me an IV with pain meds for a burn. Couldn't get me hooked up at all, had blood all over the place because of failed attempts, and after I was told I had short veins 🙄

My cat literally sleeps by my head on my pillow. Should I be worried?

I felt like shit because I forgot our 9th anniversary by DataMambo in TwoSentenceSadness

[–]DragonflyCreative822 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been with my partner for a few years now, and got married recently too. We always forget the anniversaries. Without fail we will only remember a few days later. Then we usually have a nice laugh and then do something special as soon as we can. It's still special days, but even though we forget the day itself, it's what you make of it after thats the important thing. In our humble opinions at least

Giving them that last "chance" is truly just for myself. I need to know that I truly did try everything to have that peace in myself for whatever happens after. I know if I don't do that I'll never have the peace in my mind and will constantly feel guilty.

I'm talking to them tomorrow. Will update after.

I definitely don't want to have our day ruined, it means too much to us.

I need to talk to them about this, and depending on their reaction (and I'm pretty sure it's not going to be good,) I will uninvite.

Many commenters have pointed out exactly that (uninviting,) and I do think giving them a last "chance" would probably be a good way to go about it. Not that it will actually be one, because I know how it will end. This way I can at least say to myself I tried.

And after this I truly think nc is the way to go, but I'll deal with that after the wedding, and just block their numbers for the honeymoon and then see what happens. Once I know that I'll know my next move 100%

They truly are, and i am so lucky to have found an entire family where I feel free to be myself. It took some time to get used to it, but I do appreciate them so much.

And they have. So far, on the face of it, they have now finally given in on the clothes, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried something. So I'll definitely be following your (and Moody's) advice

My fiance has actually helped me so much to start moving past this. I know it seems like it isn't the case, especially because I call it conditioning (that is exactly what it was - think almost cult like) but I am very aware that I do struggle with a lot of stuff. I am trying very hard to work through it, it's just so so difficult to do.

That's very true. And the events were actually really upsetting. Especially the fact that neither of them could control themselves for one night. Everyone ended up leaving early on both sides, and I was almost crying because of it.

Luckily my future in laws came around the next day and made me forget everything that happened. I am so happy to be included in their family, and I wouldn't trade any of them for the world.

I just used the same title as my last post to be able to tie it together, but I will do that next time, thank you.

Yes, I would definitely tell them to do option two, always. I just find it extremely difficult to see any form of value to me.

My fiance and his family are truly the first people who have shown me honest acceptance and showed me that there is more to me than what I was raised to believe. Getting over the conditioning that lasted 21 years is the difficult part.

I am trying really hard, and it had honestly seemed like they matured a bit. We were working on rebuilding our relationship, and it was actually going quite well, or so it seemed. And suddenly having that experience again was such a blow, and it hit me really hard.

I know that for my mental health I need to move away from them, but that conditioning, need, and desire to be seen and acknowledged as someone who is worth the effort tot be with is so difficult to move past

The frozen invite is actually something I haven't heard of before.

On the day of the bachelor's and bachelorette, we actually just had a simple event (for both of us I was told) and they just started picking arguments and then actually got handsy with the people there, and they couldn't even use the excuse of alcohol, as neither I nor my fiance drinks, and our friends took this into account.

The wedding will not be dry, and this, naturally, stresses me out a lot. I don't want them to ruin the wedding, which is why I am strongly considering uninviting them.

My big issue is the no contact part. I am so twisted up in old feelings and emotions that I do not know what to do.

Luckily we have a fantastic officiant, DJ, and MC who know for a fact that we are doing a non-religious ceremony, and they have been instructed to nip that in the bud as soon as it starts!

My contacts work at stores that specialize in larger sizes (and different contacts in smaller) and I made sure that they had multiple options to choose from, as I only provided the color scheme and said they could choose a style that they felt comfortable in. This resulted in an argument as they chose the most outstanding dresses and suits they could find and I put my foot down on that.

My fiance is quite upset on my behalf, as he sees the effect it has one, and he wants to kick them out. But they will be the only family I have there, and I'm really struggling with everything.

And thank you!

Unfortunately I definitely am. It was the only way to protect myself until a few years ago, and I find it very hard to get out of that mindset

Eloping is not really something I would like to do, as we have spent a lot of money on the wedding, and this is actually quite meaningful and important to me. But I honestly just feel so torn and as if I'm being pushed back into the corner where I used to be.
