Loved reading all the updates since getting back from vacation! (I kinda missed reading while gone:)
Glad to be back home but now it’s back to work and all that.
But even if there were some small warning signs, how do you know where it’s going to go? No one would ever think that they are going to be broken up with 3 days after getting married! Holy cow. That is some bat shit crazy right there – what kind of person do you have to be to go along with something like that?
Did y’all read the DP (dear prudence) where the LW was sick every single time after eating at her MIL’s? She tried talking to her husband and he tried to make her seem crazy so one day she switched her plate with her husbands and he was the one to get sick. (but also, when you have people over for dinner who fixes all the plates in advance? I think that’s weird) There are some crazy MIL’s out there – most of the time they seem to be the moms of men. I’m pretty lucky with my MIL – other than she doesn’t have any friends so therefore uses her son (my husband) as a sounding board for everything.What a crazy story @hizzy. What is wrong with people??? Good grief!
@Jade – I’m sorry your going through that. And who knows why people do that kind of crap? About a month ago, my best friend texted me that her husband just left her. Like they came home from work and talked like normal for a while then when she mentioned looking at something over the weekend he said that they needed to talk and proceeded with he thinks they need a divorce. She later (in the evening) found out he had cleared out all of his things from the house (closet, his office, etc.). So obviously he’d been planning it for awhile. They’ve been married at least 10 years or so. Who does that? There were no warning signs, even now looking back there really weren’t any. I hear the heartbreak, the anguish, the hurt and anger in her voice when we talk (we live 12 hrs apart). Sorry to hear your going through something similar. I’m being as supportive as I can being so far away so I hope you can find someone close to lean on.
I’d say one more date wouldn’t hurt. Give it another go 🙂
That’s exciting Copa, have a lot of fun!
I’m just like TGIF 🙂
I like #12 though probably not on a beach 🙂
Also #2. Good luck picking one!Nothing going on here for Valentines either. We don’t really celebrate it all that much (occasionally we’ll do something but it’s not a regular thing). I do miss when my kids were little and they did those valentine cards and candy in school. I always thought it was really cute.
My nephew (he’s 14) wanted to get to school early (he hates school) to give a girl he likes a valentine card. I thought that was so sweet.
Sorry your going through that Copa. It sucks when you learn family is not what you thought. Some people in my family (on my dad’s side) are very judgmental, especially if you are overweight. It is so so important to them to be skinny (why, I have no idea). I’ve never been skinny! Anyway, I didn’t realize to the extent they were judgmental until I overheard a conversation one day. I now don’t really speak to most of those people. It was so hurtful what they said (even though it wasn’t to me personally). It’s like, now I know what they really think and what they are thinking every time they see me!
@theladyE, I am from around the bible belt originally. And I always felt…like I didn’t belong because I wasn’t sure about the whole thing. If your not christian (and their kind of christian) then I felt like people automatically didn’t really like you anymore. Not that I ever actually discussed this with people…except it is quite common for people to ask what church you go to over conversation. The older I got, the better I adjusted and didn’t feel so outcast (because I just didn’t care anymore). But, that bible belt…sure is special in it’s own way.
I personally don’t care what church or religion you practice and I don’t judge you for what your choice is, but I sure felt judged for a long time by the “christians”.
A Hindu wedding would be very interesting…I don’t really know much about that religion though. Do you know what it would entail @ MissDre?
My husband was raised baptist and I wasn’t raised in church at all. My mom was also raised baptist, my dad not in church because my grandfather, being raised catholic, didn’t believe anymore. Until he got really sick in which he found god again and started back to the catholic church.
I’d say i’m still on the fence about the whole thing. I did attend church one a month for a long time with my husband (Baptist) but I have to say I don’t like the way most baptist preachers preach. We eventually quit going and let our girls decide on their own about their beliefs. One is agnostic and the other is on the fence like me. I wouldn’t mind finding a non-denominational church to join just to have that community of people – we are still fairly new in the city we live in so it would be nice to just meet new people.
