My fiancé and I are getting married and he (plus our future children) will be taking my name. His parents are so upset over this that they are not coming to our wedding. We had a pretty good relationship with them before this and I am honestly shocked at the reaction. What do I do? — What’s In A Name?
I have been dating my boyfriend for seven months now and things are going well. I am 24 and he is 28. However, I have not yet met his parents and I’m starting to wonder why. First, they do not live in the same state. Mine do, and we have gotten together with them a few times. During the few times he has seen his parents while we have been dating, he has told me that they have told him that they want to meet me and to bring me to their house for a weekend some time. He seems excited in the moment, but it never comes to fruition. He makes…
“My mom passed away 16 years ago. My dad handled the service and my mom was cremated and I have no idea what happened to her ashes.”
I am a lesbian, and my live-in mom refuses to accept that I’m gay or accept my girlfriend, unless we’re “just friends,” due to her religious beliefs. She tells me that it’s an abomination and that I will go to hell for this. I also believe in God and obviously don’t want that fate, but I want to be with my girlfriend, “Amelia.” I feel obligated to take care of my mother. Amelia and I have known each other for almost three years, and my mom moved in with me a few months after we met. Amelia and I started as FWB only in May of this year, but in the past…
My boyfriend was romantically involved with his ex-girlfriend for ten years, but their marriage was for a green card which enabled him to stay in the country and later become a UK resident. There was no ceremony and not many people know of the marriage, so I’m confident this is true. They separated four and a half years ago and she now lives in her home country. My partner says he views the marriage as nothing more than a piece of paper but has stayed married because he would like to return the favour in case she ever wants to return to the UK, which he feels is the right thing to…
“My boyfriend loves me, and I am close with my sister and my best friend, but I am the the emotionally needy one in all three relationships.”
“He’s emotionally distant, always on his phone (which he hides when I’m closer), and he doesn’t seem to care about our relationship anymore.”
When I was 28 years old, I came out as transgender, male to female. My coming out was forced to happen before I felt ready because my dad’s girlfriend had seen me on the street dressed as the “other” gender and told my dad about it against my will. After that, my dad texted me saying I was a disgusting freak and that I should stay away from him and “his family.” In the ensuing three years I have often begged him to just let me visit him again and for him to accept me. He relented on some level, but our relationship hasn’t warmed back up again to what it used…
“For the past four months I have been waiting expectantly for my mother’s cancer results. “
“My friend “Jane” has some major hygiene issues. She has excruciatingly bad breath and distracting chin hair that she might shave once every few months.”
