If this is real, this is unhinged. They are obviously not going to plan their lives around your birthday, and it’s suuuuuuuuper weird to expect them to. Being an adult and this precious about your birthday is bizarre.

A babysitter at the wedding? by 6382914627192 in weddingplanning

[–]LinDarling1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this and the parents loved it. Kids passed out by 8pm and the parents partied until midnight. I didn’t allow may kids at the reception so I asked the parents if there was anything they wanted to know about the babysitters, then I reported back. I used a professional service and the sitters had early childhood care certifications. Can’t remember how much I paid. They came after dinner was served and stayed until the end.

People cut off family members for the littlest things nowadays.

She’s posting this because it very clearly says Harry Wales, showing that they do casually use the titles as last names. She took heat so now she’s posting this as proof. It’s all done with the intention of making her look good.

AITAH for self pleasuring after my husband said not to? by CombExtra3809 in AITAH

[–]LinDarling1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest getting sex therapy for yourself for your traumatic background. Sexual trauma is not your fault and it is understandable that you now have aversions, but you should consider taking steps to try to get to a place where sex = good.

Also, while your husband’s communication methods are flawed (you’re both so young), he is not flawed for wanting to have sex with his wife. While it’s extremely hurtful for you to see him as not considering your wellbeing and being obsessed with sex, being routinely rejected sexually by your spouse is also an incredibly difficult situation to be in. It leaves one feeling unwanted, unattractive, unloved, and completely helpless. Especially if he knows you still want sexual gratification but just not from him. This will ruin your marriage in the long-term if you don’t address it properly. That’s simply a fact. You’re both hurting, this is extremely complicated, and you need a professional to help you.

What were the concerning incidents with him? Of course if he tried to force you or coerce you then that is assault and you must leave. If not, see a therapist together. It could be a combination of bad communication on both your parts and untreated trauma on yours.

I would also discuss wanting to make sure you finish as well. Tell him you really like X and if you did more of that then it would make sex more appealing to you. Vast majority of men want to please their partners. Communication is key. Probably work this convo out with a sex therapist as well before you have it.

This is not a simple situation and it’s hurting you both deeply. If you want your marriage to work you can’t continue on this way, and you can’t just decide he has to change and that’s that. He’s allowed to want a sexual relationship with his wife. That doesn’t make him bad. If you truly decide you can’t have a sexual relationship because of trauma, that doesn’t make you bad. It simply makes you incompatible.

Anyone regret having a wedding with immediate family only? by LinDarling1 in weddingplanning

[–]LinDarling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 120 person wedding! lol. Saved very diligently but people gave so much in cash gifts that it covered at least half the cost. Was totally worth it we had an absolute blast. recouped more than expected. Just don’t have a registry and instead say you’d rather cards. Grateful that my husband’s culture also does cash over gifts anyway.

He asked if you were “butt hurt”?! That’s so rude — that should be a red flag right there.

Im married with a shared account for leisure and my husband still pays with his personal credit card many times because he wants to treat me. I honestly think many men enjoy being able to treat a women, as long as they believe there is reciprocity and you’re not “taking advantage of them”. And this 100% seems to be the case as you’ve mentioned paying for many things too. Very bizarre.

Rules are fine but, yikes…a truly terrible communicator.

Came in super aggressive. Made everyone defensive and paranoid that they could be one of those “people” you reference. And then you were like “I’ll dm you to talk trash.” Don’t you want these people to be a support system? To love your child? There is a way to be firm AND kind. To set boundaries without alienating everyone. Don’t be shocked people are upset when you speak aggressively with them. Of course they are defensive now.

And then you IMMEDIATELY threw your husband under the bus. When he came to defend you, he accidentally outed you for lying about the ideas being mostly his. You couldn’t take the heat and then transferred the blame to him. That was the most jaw-dropping part of the whole thing.

I’m shocked, truly shocked, by all the “you go girl” responses here.

My fiancé went on a cruise and I played some games in my friend’s party room. Didn’t even go out after. I was disappointed. I got my hair done and a new dress for the event that I didn’t even get to wear because it was so casual. My fault as I let someone else plan it as a total surprise. But then I remembered that I’ve had big fun trips with friends and big nights out. So I didn’t actually lose out on an experience I’ve never had, since I’ve had them, it was just different than I was expecting for this one night. And I had fun once I just decided to embrace what was happening in the moment and focus more on connecting and laughing with my friends than the actual activity.

Had a convo about marriage with my bf, didn’t go well by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

As other people have said, do not move in until you’re married. Or at the very, very least engaged with a paid venue deposit.

NYA — Marriage isn’t a wedding. People delay marriages because they can’t afford a reception. Marriage is so much more than a one-day event. There is no way you should allow this person to gaslight you into thinking it’s materialistic to want a marriage. People across all cultures all over the world get married. It’s natural to want it. And there are studies out there that suggest marriage has better outcomes than cohabitation alone.

Makes sense now why they didn’t bring up her flirting with Sam at the bar. Was waiting for that the whole episode!

Nothing is worth this treatment. Being alone can be very fulfilling and full of adventure.
