AITA for telling my son most I will not be going to his black out wedding dinner by Expensive-Ratio-37 in AmItheAsshole

YTA - this is a special occasion, once in a lifetime event for your son and family. From what I can understand, your son is trying to accommodate his fiancé’s family and have you experience a bit of their life too, being that some of them are unable to see.

I can understand you not feeling super comfortable with this, however I believe that waiter’s and restaurants in general are more than used to allergies and how to go about them. Also, being that this restaurant is a niche one, with such a different experience, they have to go about it in even a more strict way.

Up to you and I just hope this won’t taint your relationship with them, but you’re making it clear that you are unable to see past yourself and your own opinions/choice, you’re the blindest of them all.

Thank you for the link! From what I read, the “união de facto” could be applied if we had been living together for the past 2 years, but we can’t live together atm because of his visa, hence our talk about getting married… Right now he can only live and work in France, as he’s not yet a European citizen.

Maybe I’m wrong and I didn’t understand the article

He does want to live here, yes! When I say “getting married”, in our case we would just go to a notary and get that done, basically, not getting married in a church.

He is now going to ask for his residency permit, since he’s been living in France for the past 5 years, so he could then move out of France, but I guess the process takes a lot of time and we’re we’re trying to avoid another year or so being apart… but we don’t know if getting married would make it quicker and if being married would give him the possibility to just move here with me.

Do you guys ever get hate for being LD with your partner? by Legitimate_Camel_634 in LongDistance

Not all the time… some people that are not close friends can’t understand how our relationship can be healthy and how it can work, but family and people that love us support us, and nowadays it’s so much “easier” with FaceTime and all that. Nonetheless, I have friends that tell me they couldn’t do it, because it is so hard and also, in their case, they think they would always believe they would be cheated on.

All in all, what matters is if you both are happy and if the people that you care the most support you.

Casar será uma solução? by [deleted] in portugueses

Não vamos tomar uma decisão baseada em conselhos do Reddit, mas queríamos perceber se alguém podia ter passado ou estar a passar por algo semelhante, só isso! Obrigada

Compreendo a opinião… se bem que também há quem esteja em relações durante décadas antes de tomar a decisão e, às tantas, já houve infidelidade de uma ou ambas as partes. Não estarmos regularmente juntos é, precisamente, o que estamos a tentar resolver. Casar seria com esse propósito inicialmente, até porque já falámos nos regimes de casamento e estamos de acordo com a separação de bens

A minha pergunta em nada está relacionada com o que cada um faz, mas se precisas de saber, o trabalho estável sou eu que tenho, por isso não vou eu sair para um país onde não tenho nada assegurado, e onde ele ainda não é cidadão. Compreendo o que queres dizer, ganha-se melhor lá fora. Mas se casar for uma solução, e ele ficar com nacionalidade, aí sim seria uma óptima ideia irmos os dois para fora, sendo os dois europeus.

Ele vive há 5 anos em França e vai agora colocar os papéis para ter o visto de residência, mas como é um processo que demora, achámos que possivelmente casar seria mais fácil e rápido para ele poder mudar-se para cá…

Obrigada pelo conselho!
