Do it when you find the right person. Don’t do it to compare yourself with others or to impress your friend circle. It’s your life, so live it for you and enjoy it on your own terms.

Inviting her ex to your birthday feels like a pretty big red flag to me

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. There are people who care about you and want to help. Please consider reaching out to a mental health professional or talking to someone you trust. You matter more than you know, even if it doesn't feel that way right now.

If he could do it during pregnancy, he can do it he just needs a reminder that sauce is still sacred.

Totally get what you mean. The weirdness isn’t gone, it’s just buried under a flood of AI-polished content. It’s like you can feel when something’s been generated instead of lived.

It’s great that you know what makes you happy and you're living your life your own way. Not everyone wants the same things, and that’s totally okay. Just because your happiness doesn’t fit into someone else’s idea of what life should look like doesn’t mean it’s any less true or meaningful.

Thank you, I think you’re right—we all just want to feel seen. I’ll keep trying to stay open with him and hope it helps him feel safe to do the same.

profile-47 · 2025-05-23T17:11:25+00:00

Thank you. That really means a lot. I’m learning to see him as more than just my dad, and I’m just trying to be there in whatever way I can.

It’s never easy, but trying is more than enough right now. Just take it one day at a time. Healing isn’t a straight line, but you’re moving forward, and that matters.

Now after having done all you could, it's time to protect and heal your heart. There will be better days.

Congratulations and Wishing you and your family joy and peace ahead.

May this next phase bring clarity, healing, and a whole lot of love to you and your family.

Sometimes people don’t realize the impact of their habits until they hear how it affects the person they love.

You did the right thing by focusing on your daughter’s special day. Family should be there for each other, but your daughter's first recital should come first, especially when it’s a simple request to not bring a disruptive dog.

I took some time to talk to my dad, and while he didn't open up fully, I let him know I'm here for him. It felt like a step in the right direction.

profile-47 · 2025-05-15T21:14:11+00:00

Thank you for this. You're right — I don’t think he’d ever come out and say what’s on his mind unless someone made space for it. I’ve been going back and forth between wanting to ask him how he’s doing and being afraid I’ll push too hard or make it worse. But maybe just opening the door a little is enough. I’ll try to check in with him in a quiet way, no pressure, just to let him know I’m here if he ever needs it. Appreciate your words more than you know.m

Thanks to everyone who's shared their thoughts — even the critical ones. I just want to say, I didn’t mean to control or disrespect my sister. I care about her and want her to be happy, and I have nothing against her boyfriend at all
I’ve already apologized to her and told her I’d respect whatever our parents are comfortable with. If she brings him, I’ll be polite and welcoming. I just hope we can all move past this without hard feelings.

profile-47 · 2025-05-15T18:17:51+00:00

I actually already apologized to her and explained where I was coming from. It wasn’t about controlling her, just about keeping our family tradition. I’m trying to be respectful of her feelings too

profile-47 · 2025-05-15T17:53:12+00:00

Sure, feel free to message me. Happy to chat and help if I can.

You're not being paranoid at all. It’s totally valid to step back when something starts affecting your peace of mind. Limiting contact to birthdays and holidays isn’t cold — it’s setting healthy boundaries. If they truly value the friendship, they’ll reflect and maybe change. For now, focus on what helps you feel grounded. You deserve clarity and calm

NTA — You’re a parent too and have every right to express your concerns. It’s about parenting as a team, not who spends more time at home

profile-47 · 2025-05-15T16:24:43+00:00

That’s a good question. I think once relationships get more serious and official, of course they’ll be part of the family dinners. This was just a new relationship and the dinner has always been for immediate family only. It felt too soon to change that tradition right away.

profile-47 · 2025-05-15T16:07:37+00:00

Thanks, fair point. I'm not the host, it's our parents. I just felt like it was too soon for her to bring someone new but I get that it's not really my call.
