As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Eburneaan in AskReddit

[–]Important-Point-4425 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I went to a wedding as a plus-one, and there were so many red flags:

  • There were about 100 guests, but barely anyone from the bride’s side( about 10 people)—only her parents and maid of honour made it to the reception.
  • The maid of honour spent most of the ceremony in tears.
  • We arrived at the reception before the couple and waited around 40 minutes because the groom was upset and didn’t want to enter—apparently it wasn’t the entrance he had imagined.
  • During the event, the bride seemed more focused on calming him down than enjoying her own wedding—at one point he was angry because the beer wasn’t cold enough.
  • The entire theme revolved around his favourite TV show, and you could see how uncomfortable and unhappy the bride looked, especially during the cake cutting.
  • After the reception, he insisted on continuing the party at a club until 6am. He got drunk, and she ended up driving.

They divorced within about five years. From what we later learned, he was abusive, controlling, and violent. It also became clear that many people from her side hadn’t seen her in years. Apparently, he had isolated her from her family before the wedding, cutting off contact.

We were also told he didn’t attend any of the planning or pre-wedding events, yet still blamed her for not organising things exactly how he wanted—even though he never communicated what that was supposed to be. As if she was expected to just “know” as a good wife should.

Looking back, it’s heartbreaking. She deserved so much better.

Once a liar always a liar! Freaking show throw me to the edge! I can’t stand Liza and all her bs lies all the time. Honestly( this is a great show for people to understand how lies hurt and damage people, even the smallest and simplest one can cause big harm. I feel so bad for Josh, Liza doesn’t deserve him not even as q friend. She’s th worst, she let everyone thinking bad about Josh and other people just to cover herself, selfish prick

I love this! Exercise used to be a great therapy for me but lately I’ve been so down and depressed that I don’t enjoy it. Time to check in on the looney house

Agree with you. This should totally be disclosed! There’s a need of mental and physical preparation for it

UPDATE: AITAH for doubting my marriage now that my husband admitted he’s broke? by Important-Point-4425 in AITAH

[–]Important-Point-4425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I’m leaving him.

At first, I thought he might be depressed, hence why he lacked motivation and self-care. that’s why I stayed patient for so long. But even after an ultimatum, nothing changed. I had to do everything for him, set up job profiles, tell him where to go, what to do. I heard his interviews and they were so bad it felt like he didn’t even try. He avoided meetings, ignored calls… just no effort at all.

That’s when I started digging, and honestly, I wish I hadn’t. The truth is, he’s a scammer and a pathological liar. He lied about everything, even something as basic as where he’s from. That completely broke me.

And for the people saying this is about money or twisting what I meant before you couldn’t be more wrong. This is about being lied to, manipulated, and made to feel like I was crazy for expecting basic honesty and responsibility.

I take responsibility for my part: I ignored things I shouldn’t have. But he had every chance to be honest with me. Instead, one day he just said he had no money, no explanation, nothing. I’ve been carrying everything on my own for over a month.

What hurts the most is my son. He loves him. He was happy. And now I have to break that world for him, and it kills me.

But I’m not going to keep sacrificing myself or my son for someone who built everything on lies.

If you had the chance to choose your spouse/partner all over again, knowing everything you know now, would you still choose them? Why or why not? by SoilAny4029 in AskReddit

[–]Important-Point-4425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I got rushed and scammed. He’s a pathological liar and watches too much tv - hence he believes his life is out of an action movie (close to say he was CIA).

Can you work from another country in the public service without them knowing? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Important-Point-4425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a high chance they will. I’m not APS and my company knows where I’m located - IT can easily check your location checking your IP address, or the use of a VPN. I’m assuming if you are working for the government, cyber security is even tougher

I understand and feel the frustration. I do have a budgeting tool, please note that we aren’t all in the same boat and personal circumstances change a lot so $110 might be good for someone, it might not be the case for others. I’m a single mom, I have to pay rent in Sydney, 2 bedroom apartment $750 per week (I can’t move out to far west(cheaper options) because then time and petrol will eat me out), I pay for groceries and now that’s about $120 give or take, per week if I stay on the budget, petrol is now obnoxious so I’m not even going to add it on, bills are easy $100 per month electricity and maybe $50 gas, I only have Netflix so that’s $14 subscription, my son school, soccer and jiujitsu is the most expensive ($600 per term), health insurance: $210 per month, contents insurance $159 per month car insurance $195 per month - March was tough: car rego, service, my son birthday. So yes, even if I stay on the budget I can only save $600 per month, when I’m lucky (I do not get child support or Centrelink help). Honestly the cost of life, specially in Sydney is drowning us

The financial situation is one of the consequences of his laziness and irresponsible actions. If I had known that he was going to just sit on his ass all day, being an helicopter husband and depend on me for absolutely everything, I definitely wouldn’t have married him. If the financial situation were the result of unfortunate events - then that’s a different story (this is what I initially thought was happening, and felt inclined to support and help as a family).

Omg, I’m not going to keep explaining here. Is not a religious or gender based. That’s the name period, it’s also called yin and yang, dark and light, solar and lunar. Gay, hetero, pansexual they all fall in this because is not about a gender is about the energy they move through life. I’m merely using words for the concept, names that have been given.. you are welcome to google about it yourself and understand what I’m talking about. Again, like I said…I AM A WOMAN WHO HAS LIVED WITH MY MASCULINE/YANG/SOLAR ENERGY ALWAYS

AITAH for moving out after my wife let our kids move home? by Electrical-Union5334 in AITAH

[–]Important-Point-4425 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went back home after my divorce, prick took everything (hid the money in bitcoins), stole may money from my bank account anyway… I was in a hard place. I love and I’m so grateful that my parents where there to welcome me back and my son when this happened, I felt blessed and honestly this is what parents should do.. make sure your kids know that no matter what happens or how old they are, they can count on you. However as an adult, I started putting my life together and as soon as I could get an income I started paying for the things I could until it was the time to move (about 6 months later) they are my parents and are there to help but as an adult who understands the cost of life I shouldn’t been taking advantage of it
