Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML

Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML

Today, six weeks before my wedding, my mother decided to claim that she never agreed on paying for it and that she doesn't think she will. Now I have six weeks to scavenge enough cash for the wedding she planned in the first place. FML

...Why would you do that? They obviously only did it for the gifts.

The only real way you could get any money back from this is if you LOANED them the money for the wedding. Then you could be payed back.

60% fail rate and you pay for part of the wedding... safe investment.

That sucks monkey balls so badly. Any chance you can get your money back? Unless of course, it was your gift to them, in which case you really shouldn't ask for it back. Just make sure you give 'em hell for it for the for the rest of their lives!!!!

Today, a friend and I tell each other everything about our relationships, and we’ve been flirting for two years, but we’re not together. I started to have feelings for him, but I didn’t say anything, then the guy started to disappear and I don't know if he has an avoidant attachment, or he's just ignoring me. FML
