mil Drama, Why does everyone including me have this problem?

Samantha, on October 2, 2019 at 10:29 PM

Is anyone else running into issues with friends or family members being upset that they're not invited to the wedding? I am shocked at the number of people who are upset they didn't get an invite to...

It's been 3 years and no proposal, contemplating moving on?
Erica, on December 17, 2020 at 2:39 PM

I'm enlisting the advice and counsel of anyone who has gone through a similar situation. My boyfriend and I have been together for just over 3 years, with our fair share of ups and downs and learning...

Can’t match my fiancé’s groomsmen…
Tiffany, on October 18, 2024 at 5:47 PM

I literally have no friends or close family. I am unable to even come up with one name for a bridesmaid. My fiancé on the other hand is such an extrovert and has a handful of childhood friends that he...

Counseling?
Amy, on May 1, 2022 at 7:01 PM

Is it good to have marriage counseling. My fiance says he doesn't need it but I think it wouldn't hurt so any ideas?

I recently just got engaged, and my mother and I do not have a good relationship. She openly favors my brothers and has consistently pushed me down in anyway that she can just because. I have thought...

Latricia, on October 16, 2024 at 9:22 PM

Is my name change idea weird?
Elizabeth, on October 13, 2024 at 1:07 PM

Long story, but my maiden name is neither my mom or dad’s last name, rather, my mom’s ex husband’s name from before she met and married my dad. I’ve never liked this because, while I love them, I...

Am i overreacting to my Moh’s behavior?
Kay, on October 11, 2024 at 6:11 AM

This will be long, but it’s for context. My MOH was someone I grew up with and was close to. We haven’t been as close in recent years and she no longer lives where I do, but we still had a...

Leaira, on September 25, 2024 at 10:06 PM
