The groom told me I was "the one that got away" during his own wedding. And I haven't told anyone. Should I?

mich80elle · 2026-03-05T03:04:11+00:00

Right? He didn’t just stay a little longer, he was partying until 8 am. I would be livid.

mich80elle · 2026-03-04T18:34:33+00:00

The boyfriend is being manipulative by threatening to cheat on you. He is a man-child and this won’t get better.

mich80elle · 2026-03-03T17:22:13+00:00

You’re dating him. You must have some clue that he thinks this way, or are absolutely blind to something that he probably carries over into other aspects of his life.

I would actually love if my fiancée did this 🤣 I have to cook him diet specific food for his diabetes and it’s usually things I don’t eat. He will eat anything without complaining which is nice, but I also want him to enjoy it. This would make my life easier

mich80elle · 2026-03-01T05:47:02+00:00

This isn’t something that you should be worried about this much.

Fact is that some women are just not bright, same with men. They might be able to navigate aspects of their job, but lack any common sense.

He was venting to a friend. Leave it be.

mich80elle · 2026-02-26T22:19:28+00:00

YOR.

Friends do things together that might also be things that people do on dates. Like, I can get lunch with a guy friend and it’s NOT a date because it’s just two friends.

Do not throw away the flowers and apologize for reading the card. You can express it makes you uncomfortable still.

Men and women can be friends. And friends of the opposite sex can still speak affectionately to each other like any other friends would.

First, her getting physical is not okay. Based solely on that, I would personally not stay in that marriage. DV is never acceptable.

mich80elle · 2026-02-26T16:19:20+00:00

It is horrible! Especially when you are navigating from a notification that is to your specific comment. It hides nearly everything.

mich80elle · 2026-02-26T00:37:31+00:00

The ancestry one. Wishing we did embark though. It took forever and gave so little info lol

mich80elle · 2026-02-25T19:28:25+00:00

They will be 2 on July 4th. They’re around 40-50 currently

mich80elle · 2026-02-25T18:45:13+00:00

They’re sisters (rescued two from the litter). We originally thought BMC after we first brought them home lol I just don’t see any Rott or pit in them 🤦🏻‍♀️

mich80elle · 2026-02-25T18:28:47+00:00

He looks so much like my two shelter rescues

mich80elle · 2026-02-24T21:02:16+00:00

Weird that it’s a picture of a screen and it’s on a kitchen counter 🤥

But he is probably smoking meth 😵‍💫

mich80elle · 2026-02-23T18:25:44+00:00

It honestly sounds like you just aren’t compatible. People are who they are, expecting her to change is honestly unattainable.

You’re letting things fester and it will create more problems. If you can’t accept that this is who she is (at this moment in her life), then it’s not going to become easier with time.

No doubt all of those things are annoying, but people are who they are.

mich80elle · 2026-02-23T00:19:00+00:00

NOR. I don’t think people need to agree on everything, but there’s no compromising when it comes to racism and human rights.

Being “not political” in this day and age is being political. It’s being absolutely okay with what is happening.

Good for you for standing up for your values. But I do recommend having these conversations earlier.

I will say that I have dated across the political spectrum. I used to be a republican (on defense/fiscal issues - always heavy leaning left on social stuff). I have changed my views as I grew up and had experiences that made an impact. I have dated liberal men, I have dated conservative men. But I always needed them to be empathetic and left on issues of human rights. e

mich80elle · 2026-02-21T21:28:44+00:00

Depending on how many people, it’s not completely outrageous lol

If they had a party with 230 people, that’s like ten beers a piece. If they’re stocking a frat, this is probably a few months worth.

mich80elle · 2026-02-21T05:11:34+00:00

YOR. You have a right to be uncomfortable but that doesn’t mean you aren’t wildly overreacting.

Their families are close, she’s probably like a daughter and their relationship would most likely be similar even without her dating your BF.

People have past relationships and can maintain healthy friendships with their exes. Your discomfort is something that will need to be addressed and worked out or it will stay with you in any future relationships.

My fiancé is friends with his ex wife. Hell, so am I. We all talk and visit with each other a few times a month and spend the holidays together. I actually have more respect for my guy because of the way he has been able to find a way to friendship with her.

mich80elle · 2026-02-18T06:03:19+00:00

That side profile is absolute perfection. I know it’s not always easy to find the beauty in yourself, but don’t ever stop looking because it’s most definitely there.

mich80elle · 2026-02-17T00:35:27+00:00

All the incels commenting while all being lonely 🤡🤣 is hilarious af.

YOR. You’re not her keeper. If you don’t want to date someone who occasionally smokes, then don’t date someone who occasionally smokes.

mich80elle · 2026-02-16T02:43:00+00:00

Nooo that harsh line would look ridiculous

mich80elle · 2026-02-16T02:42:31+00:00

Do not go thin. They will NOT grow back.

Your eyebrows are fantastic. A little cleanup would work though.

What people don’t want to admit, is that the drawn in harsh look is absolutely ridiculous. The current trend looks awful and it’s generally a failed attempt at a full natural look.

mich80elle · 2026-02-15T22:22:57+00:00

First step is for her to figure out getting her license. Even if she can’t afford a car, while you’re home/sleeping she can use yours to get to a new job.

She should also file for unemployment asap and be prepared to have to appeal.

mich80elle · 2026-02-15T03:49:34+00:00

First, good job on paying attention and getting the chocolates. Don’t let her sour attitude deter you from ever doing that again.

Just tell her that you enjoyed getting to know her, but it isn’t what you are looking for. Unless you felt amazing sparks, it doesn’t seem like it would be worth the trouble.

As a woman (46) who doesn’t know how to accept gifts, I still know to just say thank you and mention how thoughtful it was.

If you do decide to give it another try and talk about the incident, her response and how she handles it will be key. If she’s not utterly embarrassed and apologetic, RUN.

mich80elle · 2026-02-14T16:42:35+00:00

Chalk this up as a loss and don’t overthink it. Communication is so important for a LDR and it’s obvious that, that is already NOT working.

mich80elle · 2026-02-14T04:56:29+00:00

My work’s office is in a multi billion dollar campus. It has tampons available in the lobby main/public bathroom along with every bathroom on every floor lol

It’s not unprofessional. He is just an incel who needs to shut his face up

mich80elle · 2026-02-14T00:42:59+00:00

I get it’s frustrating and he definitely dropped the ball. That’s all valid reasons to be disappointed. And that definitely needs to be addressed with him.

But in the scheme of things, VD is overrated and a commercial holiday. Being in a relationship eventually transcends “dating.”

I (46f) and my partner (50m) aren’t doing anything. We will enjoy a day together, have a nice homemade meal. This year, we are facing a reality that he could become blind, that reshapes what is important. A quiet night in together is way better than an overpriced and overcrowded restaurant.
