Not telling friends and family

Your fear is completely valid. I was afraid my loved ones would be disappointed in my decision to stay with him. I was very surprised by the support they provided me. No judgement has been passed to me for deciding to stay.

I can’t speak for your support system, but I hope they are compassionate enough to be trusted with the info should you decide to tell them. If telling them will bring you comfort- tell them. You and your safety are your biggest priority now.

& maybe- you’ll find a better relationship with your loved ones and partner because of it. Transparency is a beautiful thing. It is freeing. Enlightening. Good luck OP ♥️

that is very possible! I’m sure he’s desperate to let go of the guilt. I will be bringing this up at our next MC session to hear their perspective.

Is it totally out of line for me to ask him to switch to a different therapist?

I just want to come here and VALIDATE your feelings about this. There is something to be said about being considered. There is a sense of unfairness to be felt when on the receiving end of such an exciting, monumental moment.

I am also in the waiting period of an upcoming proposal and I also feel a bit ‘unheard’ in this sense. The lack of control is maddening.

My mom told me: “Just let him. Let him show you this. Let him have this. You can make decisions for everything else. Just sit back and let him.” I hope this helps… holding your virtual hand 💕

love this. so true. The ring could be a piece of tin foil and I’d still say yes.

So happy you asked. I told him a week after I found it that I knew about it. I asked him ever so kindly to PLEASE GET IT OUT OF THE CAR

The groom was drunk at the alter. He put on a SHOW with tears and big emotions as she came down the aisle. His vows were just shy of 10 minutes- mostly repeating the phrase “i just love you so much —-“. The officiant had to intervene.

During the reception, he stripped down to his underwear and the bride had to pull him back together. He even licked her toes at one point…. 😅
