I knew down the line that planning a wedding was going to be chaotic and stressful, especially when trying to please everyone. I know everyone says, "At the end of the day, it's all about you," but the one person I wasn't expecting to make a fuss was my future husband to be. My fiancé is the type of guy that's easily outgoing and can make instant friends. This characteristic of him is great, but it has brought up issues about who is going to be in our wedding party. I have chosen a few people, and when he tries to match up, he always ends up choosing girls to be standing up beside him. This didn't bother me too much at first because I know the girls he's choosing very well, and they are considered to be his closest friends, however, as I started to envision the way I wanted our wedding to look, I realized that having girls on his side was going to be weird. Slowly my feelings started to gradually turn and I realized I didn't want his girl friends to be there. When I mentioned this to him, he immediatly took defense and stated how it wasn't fair that I was going to have my wedding party filled with my best friends and he wasn't. I immediatly felt guilty and told him that nothing was set in stone. Now I'm currently stuck in an uncomfortable position. Do I let him have his way and make it easier for everyone and be annoyed at my wedding that I didn't get my way, or do I say no to him and risk having him hold it over my head the entire duration of our marriage?

It's an honor. Do they announce it at the wedding or would that be super weird?

I'm 24 and currently job searching after graduating with my master's. I agreed to be in my friends wedding and she appeared to be understanding of everyone's limited financial positions. We are renting dresses, however, I'm starting to think she did that because she wants us to spend heavily on her shower ($200+ per girl) 55 people, bachelorette party ($350 per girl at a spa), and gifts. It's making our friendship extremely awkward, as if she's watching how I spend my money and questioning if I had enough my do X, then why can't I contribute more to her wedding events. I can't even share possible job news with her because then she's going to make her expectations even higher on me and the other maids. She is very confrontational and passive aggressive. What to do?!?!

we've been living together six months and they were the happiest days of my life. but now she tells me she's a lesbian and she's fallen in love with this woman she's been seeing. she's leaving me to move in with her girlfriend. i feel totally crushed and want to die. i fell in love with her at first sight when we met. we only dated a week before she told me she loved me and asked to move in with me. i was in heaven. i was never so happy in my life. she told me we couldn't have sex because she was waiting until we were married. i respected her for that and gave her my bedroom while i slept on the couch. i paid all the bills and rent. i bought all the groceries and even did most of the cooking. she didn't have to do a thing. i was just so happy she was with me. and now she tells me she never really loved me at all. she just needed a place to stay until she got back on her feet. and she loves this other woman instead of me. how can my fiancée love a woman and not me? someone please help me. i love her and can't live without her. i can't let her leave me. what can i do to convince her to stay? thank you for your kind understanding. i had to let her go, but still don't know how to move on without her.
