A full exact year. To the day. Like take the plane on that day. And stay for a week only.

I'm 39 and she's 21.She was almost immediately infatuated with me. She makes $10/hr working part time, lived at home with her parents who treat her like a queen. They cook her meals, do her laundry but she wanted her own place I was so excited to have a younger attractive girl interested that I took her on a nice vacation, all expenses paid. She didn't offer to pitch in but it was a gift While we were on the trip she took a lot of selfies and posted them on her facebook and instagram. She also posted photos of the meals we ate at expensive restaurants. Steak, lobster, pasta, shrimp cocktail, craft beer and fine wine etc. She also took photos of the scenery at the beach and some of the nice places I took her. She didn't post any photos of us together but only posted a pic of her wearing my football jersey on the beach. A part of me wondered if she did that to show off that she was on a fancy trip being wined and dined by a mystery guy. She didn't mention my name in any of the posts or anything. Shortly after we got back from the trip I was smitten because I was blown away by the sex and all my guy friends and football buddies were envious. I wanted to keep her around so I got us a nice luxury apartment, fully furnished with all furniture that she picked out. I paid the rent and all I asked is she pay for the groceries. Now she wants to travel more but she doesnt have any money saved and she brought up kids and marriage and how she wants to settle down. Is she a gold digger

I have been told, in a first marriage for both, that the tradition for the bride's parents to pay for the wedding no longer exists when the bride reaches a certain age, and then the couple bear the responsibility for it instead. Is this true, and if so what age is the cut off? I know the couple have the option to assume responsibility, but when is it expected?

Obviously I'm less important to her then I thought. I don't want to feel like a loose tool. I thought we had a bond. Clearly I was wrong. I don't even feel like speaking to her. I'm that hurt

I wore a white wedding dress so I can look like the bride. Everyone wants mad at me and told me to leave. Why is that? What did I do wrong? I feel hurt.

Obviously you can't marry your first, second or third cousin, but what about your fourth, fifth, seventh or tenth cousin? Where is the line drawn in the US?

her whole family meaning her cousins family and her grandparents as well. Obviously I know weddings are a family thing and I knew she was gonna be busy with wedding prep and stuff but basically she started acting weird and heres how initially she didn't even invite me to the wedding, like she would tell me all about the prep and the pre wedding events and stuff but only a week before the actual wedding when I brought it up how she didn't actually invite me or ask me to Come she was like Ohhh oops ofc u have to come. I didn't think much of this at the time but after she invited me, literally multiple times a day she would be like maybe you shouldn't come, you'll just be bored, whats the point in you coming etc. At that point again I didn't think much of it, I actually don't know why now that I think back to it I should've been more upset but I brushed it off. the day of the wedding I was supposed to go over to her house and do her makeup and we were supposed to get ready together. This was the plan for the last week, then like 3 hours before she texts me and tells me not to come because she's too busy and her and her cousins are getting ready together. It was at this point that I got mad but again I let it go. I text her again an hour before the wedding to tell me when she gets there so ill reach the same time and she says, do you really want to come?? so I was like she clearly doesn't want me there and I didn't end up going. I didn't end up saying anything to her at the time bc it was her cousins wedding and I wanted to be supportive. I kept thinking that I should bring it uo but then I had exams and she had exams and then things were really crazy. Yesterday she brought up her cousins wedding again, I mentioned this to her and how I felt like crap, she replies with "sorryyy...' and I was like ????? I told her she made me feel like **** and that the reply I got. I mean I get it its been almost 9 months and maybe I should've brought it up sooner but I honestly expected more. the she replied "idl why I did that oops.." so I didn't even know what to say, I was feeling super embarrassed bc clearly she didn't give a ****. Now im just trying to move past it bc I don't know what to think the beginning of my question got cut off for some reason but it said my best friends cousin got married in April of 2018, and she lives with her whole family. this was just super weird and idk if im being weird about it bc its been a good 9 months but its still bothering me how **** I feel
