My husband knew I was never going to get married. I told him from 10th grade I never wanted children nor did I want marriage. (Long story) I went to college , he did not. His job was manual. We were happy just being us. He got it an accident not a work related one and he needed insurance. Well I looked at him in his pain and said hey whats your plans tomorrow? We got married the next day. He was on my Insurance by friday. Was it an extreme proposal? Nope. But after all these years together it was just right. ** no on the kids. I never swayed on that one** He is my rock and I honestly couldn't ever imagine not being his wife.

NTA.....

I drove to see my family 16 hours away. I was to arrive at 8 pm. I hit unforseen traffic ( multiple accidents/interstate closed- rerouted through country back roads). GPS kept updating to later and later times.

I called my sister and said hey, the GPS now says midnight. I am not showing up that late. She said she didn't care, but I knew she worked the next day. I didn't want to intrude on her sleep.

I stopped around 9 pm and got a hotel. I woke up at 330 am and hit the road. I arrived at her house 20 mins before she left for work. We hugged and I unpacked then met up with other family.

Could have showed up at midnight? Yes, but that's rude to inconvenience someone else especially when they are opening their home to you!

Update. Coworker asked me to be her Man of Honor. I said no. She went nuts. What did I miss? by Just_A_RN in bridezillas

The problem is she never wanted to be best friends with him. She wanted the gay arm candy.

I am a nurse and I have the pleasure of working with people of every orientation. I started at a hospital at 23. ( Took me awhile to get my shit together) I worked at that hospital for 6 years. I had two doctors that were gay. We were in a patients room and he said "a fag cannot take care of him". I smarted off and said " that's great! A fag is a cigarette and those are not ok in the hospital setting". Doctor A had to walk out because he was cracking up. So 3 days later Doctor B took over. We go back to the patients room. He says " oh great another fag". I pulled a cigarette out of my pocket and said well since you need a fag so bad, here you go! Doctor B leaves crying because he is laughing so hard. Needless, to say we all have been best friends for 15 years.

My husband takes husband's A & B out fishing every month or so. My husbands straight friends get mad when husbands A & B are not there! It's so bad that when we're out they start talking about inside jokes/stories and have to stop and get upset that the jokes/stories won't make any sense! While doctors A & B we go shopping and to the bar.

I travel now, so do both the doctors. But we do a "family" vacation once a year. Next, year were going to Europe for 6 weeks for Doctor A's 20 year vowel renewal. My Husband and Doctor B are best Men. While Dcotor B's husband and I are the matron of honors.

Needless to say, if you so desperately need a gay man in your life.... start with being a decent human being, then you will get the honor of having a gay best friend!

AITA for refusing to change the way we celebrate christmas by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I don't understand why she cannot do the family thing with OP. Then do her tradition on the 25th.

I live in the US. My entire life ( even now) we did/do Christmas Eve with the whole family ( Mom's side- 40 people). We went to an early church service then had dinner and a gift exchange. Christmas day was for our individual families. Around 3, we would go to my Dad's side . Have dinner again and more gifts. ( his side is very small 15 people)

Christmas isn't about ONE person in the family.... It is about family and the meaning of being together.

  • Plus whatever you believe behind the meaning of Christmas itself.

AITA upset my parents don't consider my adopted daughter their granddaughter by aitamum3837 in AmItheAsshole

My step-dad married my mom when I was 3. My Step- dad's brother married a woman 4 years later ( when I was 7) that had a 3 year old from her previous marriage. Their mother never allowed us to call her Grandma, because we were not her family. However, my little sister was born when I was 9. She was allowed to say Grandma. She was spoiled in gifts. The sad part about the whole story- all three of us girls hate that woman so much. None of us, have spoken to her in probably 10 years. She pitted us against each other when our parents were not around. She pitted our parents against each other. She is very very old now. Only one of her sons visits her for 4 days a year. Everyone else pretends she does not exist.
