Love and Weddings: Love is all around

Love is all around

Today, I had a double wedding with my sister. My mother, being as encouraging as she always is, told us that statistics say one of our marriages will end in divorce. She then explained she thinks it'll be mine because I'm "a self-absorbed bitch." FML

Today, my ex-husband and the woman he left me for, also known as my sister, are getting married. On my birthday. My mom is gleefully helping plan the wedding. She seriously sees nothing wrong, and tells me to “stop being a Bitter Betty and be happy for your sister.” FML

Today, I overheard my mother telling my sister that she expects my marriage to fall apart any day now. Apparently, I have no concept of what "marriage" really means. My husband and I just celebrated our 7th anniversary, while my mother is planning her 5th wedding. FML

Today, I announced my engagement. My mother's response was to freak out and demand that I postpone my wedding indefinitely. Why? My younger sister caught the bouquet at a wedding last year, so "she has to get married first!" My sister has been single for 3 years and showers once a week. FML

Today, my wife tried to catch the bouquet at my sister's wedding. Afterward I informed her that only single women were supposed to do that, and she replied "I know". My wife told me that she was divorcing me at my sister's wedding. FML

Today, while visiting my widowed great aunt, she took out her wedding rings and talked about the love she and my uncle had. Smiling, I told her that one day I hope to have as happy a marriage as theirs. Her response? "Knowing you, I wouldn't count on it." My mother sat there agreeing. FML

Threatening

By I hate my family - 11/02/2023 10:00

Today, my mom told me to be my sister’s maid of honor at her wedding or I’m out of her will. She says if I don’t go, I’m being selfish, and she wants to see her “baby girls” bonding one last time before she dies. I would gladly go if my sister wasn’t marrying my ex-husband, who cheated on me with her. FML

Today, my mother bitched me out for filing divorce papers against my abusive husband. According to her, it's a "slap in God's face". She's the one who's divorced two husbands so far because they weren't getting job promotions fast enough to support her hoarding habit. FML

Main attraction

Today, my mother thought it would be a wonderful idea to make me late for me own wedding. It wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't focused solely on my sister because my wedding didn't center on her. The sister in question snubbed being my maid of honor over a year ago, and just decided to randomly show up. FML

All the Pringle ladies

Today, my mean, nasty, arrogant, bully of a sister is getting married for the second time. Meanwhile, I’ve always been kind, caring, considerate… and single as a damn Pringle. FML

Today, my baby-crazy mother expressed her concerns that I haven't conceived after a whole two months of marriage. Her advice amounted to "get divorced while you're still hot, sleep around until you get pregnant, then marry the winner." When I complained to my father, he supported her. FML

Well I think your mother is the one who is the self-absorbed bitch for making that comment, and you should have told her so.

now, children, let's not make comments about the double wedding. maybe they're popular or traditional in romania?i think that would be a good save of time and money, and quite interesting to see. OP: everyone's mom says that to them at some point. your mother just picked a bad time. you're probably not a self-absorbed bitch.

Or maybe she just really loves her sister and they want to have their special day together. :)

I'm not saying she's wrong. I'm saying she's wrong to say it. At a wedding. In front of everyone. In fact, regardless of the truth of your personality, any good points apparently haven't come from your mother's example.

Why would you have a double wedding in the first place?

Statistics don't say that. If half of marriages end in divorce, then based on that information alone, you can say that there's a three in four chance at least one of the marriages will end in divorce, and a one in four chance both will. Even that doesn't say one of you is bound to get divorced...there's still a one in four chance neither of you will. But that's not taking into account you or your sister's relationships, how well you planned, how long you dated, how well the respective couples knew each other, or anything personal like that. Unless there's a big difference between you and your sister's relationship with your husbands, you're probably going to turn out the same. Statistics don't lie. They just get misinterpreted. Best wishes on a long and happy marriage, and the same to your sister.
