I just recently attending a bridal shower for my friend. None of her bridesmaid nor her mother threw her a shower so the groom s mother did. I know the groom s family, the bride, and a few bridesmaids. So, when I got my invitation I asked the groom s mom if she needed help with the shower. She said she could get back to me after speaking to the bridemaids. She then asked if I could bring a breakfast item. I agreed to bring blueberry scones. Two weeks later I get a text from the groom s mom with menu for the shower. My name and dish wasn' t on there (Mind you the list consist of just the ladies from our church..no bride family. no bridesmaid), but she was implying that she still needed two people to bring a veggie side and breakfast casserole. I once again said, I would bring blueberry scones as I mention. At the shower, no name place for my dish, no thank you. As soon as I put my purse on a chair she ran up to me told me, Oh you can t sit here, or there (points to front table, nor there (points to table next to it). These are reserved for bridal party, and family (no signs on the table btw). My friend (who happen to be standing next to me) asked her, were would you like us to go? The groom mom pointed to the two back tables. So, my question is..Should I speak up to the groom s mother about her being rude? I m really upset that there wasn t any appreciation for the help, nor a thank you for coming. I felt abused and used by her. What should I do?

I have paid money to book a venue, photography, etc but my fiance has not provided money for anything and my parents are mad about it. What to do?

We've been dating for 7 months but I have not introduced her to my family and friends.She's 5 years older than my parents. She is pushing me to meet them. She's cool with my fetish for our age difference, but she doesn't know about my smoking fetish.

So he just gives her the medicine for the menstrual cramps, puts a blanket on her, gets under the sheets with her, she shivers cold though it's warm, so he higs her til she stops shivering. Then he kisses her forehead, turn the tv off and falls asleep next to her.

My boyfriend is taking me some place special tomorrow and he hinted to me that he'll be proposing. I know he's had the ring for a while now because I was there when he bought it. Ever since he got the ring we've went to a lot of places together and I always felt like he'd propose but it never happened. I would then feel relieved because I was nervous and anxious waiting for it to happen, but at the same time sad and disappointed when it didn't. Now that he pretty much told me the proposal is gonna happen I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of nervousness and anxiety again. I'm really dreading tomorrow and trying to come up with an excuse to go next week instead. Since it's not gonna be a total surprise like most proposals are I'm scared that I won't know how to react like everyone else does when their man gets down on one knee asking to marry them and then putting a ring on their finger. I mean we've been together for 7 years so this is something I've been dreaming about for 7 years. Just thinking about it gives me butterflies in a good way, but also makes me super nervous. I just feel really nervous and anxious for tomorrow and I don't wanna ruin our once in a lifetime moment feeling like this and being worried during the proposal. I know it's only gonna last 15 seconds or so but it's going to be the most important 15 seconds of my life and I want it to be memorable in a good way! Please can anyone give me any tips or advice on how to deal with this?

I am 35 and getting married in six months. I have been with my girlfriend for 3 years now. A family friend was married two years ago (our parents are almost kind of best friends with their parents and we siblings are close with their siblings; not best friends but close). I was invited to his wedding but he didn't give me a +1. I intend to reciprocate by asking him but not his wife. My parents don't think that it is right if I don't ask her because they are married, but I think so what, he could have very well given me the option of a +1 but didn't, I would have definitely asked her if he had. Just an issue of fairness. My fiancé doesn't want to ask her either, there are couple of instances of the exact same issue on her side and she doesn't want to ask them either. This is our day after all and we almost certainly won't invite those people but just wanted to hear other's opinions on the matter? Also I don't really understand why people say that married should get a +1 but not others
