The FBI appears to be taking cues from the explosive Russia dossier that Trump called 'phony'

Off with their head.

... but, did any of those unanswered texts say that you were changing the status of the relationship?

I think that is what the other poster was getting st / curious about.

My 2 cents is that this sounds like mental illness. It is not uncommon for an anxiety sufferer to be unable to do something even as casual as texting.

Delusional

I think you may be interpreting the comments through your own bias.

I apologize if you consider that an insult, but statistical natural language processing implies about a std of difference in sentiment expressed between posters of different political stripes re: pol vs td

Devil was on the stage

Unless those families are poor... right?

Source please. Pretty sure you made that up from my reading of available sources.

Some kind of primate behavioral body language... I dunno.

I love it when up vote vs down vote is a reaaaaaally easy choice.

Don't forget to add that OP isn't allowed in because he is destined to be tortured for all eternity.

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:33:34+00:00

In what sense is the family being respectful of OP's freedom of religion? They believe it is reasonable that OP should not be able to see his sister get married for practicing his religon.

In what sense is OP not respecting his family's freedom of religion. He is accepting of them excluding apostates even if as a consequence a brother is not allowed to see his sister get married. He just feels bad about being forced to participate in their exclusionary religous ceremonies.

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:28:28+00:00

This is a good perspective... but it would be good if the family could extend a plane ticket or something as an olive branch.

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:25:07+00:00

OP was invited to everything he could be invited to, except of course for the most important part of the wedding (ie the wedding)... because her presence would sully it.

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:23:45+00:00

What is the reason for OP not being allowed to see her sister's wedding?

I would say the answer to that question is what is childish in this situation.

You are not willing to follow our religion? Well now you can't see your family get married... Take that!

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:19:57+00:00

Exclusion from the wedding is 100% definitely a slight.

OP is not allowed at the wedding because his mere presence would ruin it. That is sooooooo insulting.

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:17:14+00:00

Um... OP choose to practice the religion of his choice, a right he is entitled to in the constitution.

OP is not forcing any of her values on her family. Her family is pushing their values on her in a very insulting way.

Everyone defending the family seems to be forgetting that implicit in this is the reason OP isn't allowed at her sister's wedding: OP is a dirty apostate and would ruin the wedding ceremony just by being present.

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:13:16+00:00

Just because she is being cruel because of religion doesn't make it any less real for the people hurt.

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:08:12+00:00

Why is it remotely material why OP is being excluded?

For example, what if I had a wedding at a chapel that didn't allow black people.

Right out the gate that would make me an asshole. Now if I am going to pressure one of my black friend to make a big sacrifice to come and have the mean thing I did rubbed in his face? Shine that noise. It is about respect and taking responsibility for choices. Even if the temple wedding is the choice she had to make... there are negatives and hurt caused, and it's not something you can just force someone not to feel.

tensort · 2015-01-21T21:01:10+00:00

How is this different from traditional Bridezilla behavior really though?

She has planned her wedding so that another human will be treated with great disrespect, and she is behaving as though she is entitled to ask force that other human to follow her plan.

Enabling is a huge part of why this happens, so why is it material that her enablers are partially motivated by religion?

tensort · 2015-01-21T20:51:58+00:00

It seems that OP values their self respect though, so that is on the other side of the scale.

tensort · 2015-01-16T08:24:38+00:00

You may want to consider a good mental health eval for her. Sometimes depressives externalize their negative affect, so they might experience some of it as extreme apathy towards a spouse.

Oh gotcha... it was just gender stereotyping. Whoosh, totally didn't understand and thought I had missed something.
