Hear me out first, but I need some advice. I have been with my fiancé, Kyle, for 3.5 years and engaged for six months. My future brother in law (kyles older brother) and his girlfriend have been together for almost two years and he s apparently popping the question, soon. My brother in law, Chris, is the favorite of the family.... The golden child, literally. My fiancé asked his mom when they were planning on having their wedding and she brought up how his brother, Chris, asked her if Kyle would be mad if they had theirs before ours... And my mother in law said that Kyle would be fine with it because Chris is older and should be getting married first anyways. I was present when she said this and my face probably said it all. Mind you, ever since Chris has been dating this girl, I ve been put on the back burner and Kyle has always been out of the spotlight because Chris is the favorite. It breaks my heart. It s not so much I m mad about the fact that they will be married before us. It s more about how we aren t asked things and overlooked and no one seems to care. Am I over reacting about this and how do I handle it? ....as I hate confrontation

Both of my parents were married three times before me and then they got divorced when I was 15. Now I'm at an age and in a point in my life where I can get married. I don't want to go through all that. I just want to hang out with women and have fun nothing serious. Is that weird?

Are there any qualities that I need to have before getting married? What should I expect? How do I know I'm marrying the right person? How do you know ahead of time if you are right for marriage? Any other things you need before you get married...? Are there cretin personalty types that are more likely to divorce? I feel like I'd be too independent for marriage or don't have what it takes. I don't want marriage, but I think I kind of do. I don't know. I need to know what it's really like first... but I don't want to get divorced to find out. Personal stories are appreciated.

I'm 36, never been married, and out of my entire group of close high school friends, only two of them are married. The main reason why none of us have ever married is because it's just so easy to get sex in this day and age. Go to the club, buy a strange woman a few drinks, get laid. We have plenty of variety nowadays, and don't need to be tied to one woman to ensure steady sex.

Do you think this is a nice picture? Let me know your opinion? http://i.imgur.com/470TXsx.jpg

I'm no where near ready for marriage (I'm 19.) My boyfriend is 25 and ready to start his life. I don't want to get married until I'm finished with college, in a stable career, and feel emotionally ready for it. So it will pretty much be 7+ years until I'm ready for marriage. He wants to ask me next year sometime, but that would leave us being engaged for 6 years. What's the longest you've known someone to be engaged for? I feel like that's too long. Maybe we should break up for now? Either way it doesn't make sense to be in a relationship that long, well at least to me. I should clarify.... It doesn't make sense to be in a relationship that long (boyfriend/girlfriend, without getting married,) well at least to me.

I'm getting married next summer. So far my mom has been really heavily involved in the whole thing. We're very close and she was a really good mom to us when we were little. However, when I was 8 and my brother was 9, our mom suffered a mental breakdown after suffering abuse at the hands of her parents, going untreated for bipolar disorder and having a lot of things go wrong in her life. To top it all off, our dad has never hidden the fact he did everything he could to make her have the breakdown. He said it's because he wanted us away from her. But my brother and I feel it's because he wanted to play happy families with us and our stepmom. We lived with our dad and stepmom until we both turned 18. Neither of us ever fully severed contact with our mom and after she came out of the hospital, we would talk with her on the phone when no one was around. Our dad violated the court order of allowing us to see our mom in a supervised environment (the hospital, his home or with a relative). We would even sneak out to see her as teenagers. Once we both turned 18, we started a proper relationship with her. Now that I'm engaged, my stepmom is making a fuss over being "snubbed". She believes she deserves to be included because she "raised us" and "stepped up when our mom went off her rocker". She's always looked down on my mom for being ill. And neither she and my dad or my mom are paying. So I feel I should get to choose who I include more. Am I wrong? I don't actually talk about them. But she's seen us with bridal magazines and heard from family friends who have seen me with my mom looking at dresses and other things. I have always done my best to shut her down, but she can be very pushy and persistent. I'm not saying she won't be treated with respect as my fathers wife. But she also won't be getting to do the things I do with my mom. Also, my dad didn't support visits with my mom. He didn't want us to have anything to do with her.
