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

Marriage doesn't mean shit anymore:P Nothing is sacred. It was nice of you to help pay for it but YDI for not knowing them better. I mean, two weeks..? really? You didn't see that one coming?

People just don't need to get married these days. They wait until they get married to want to seperate from each other and get a divorce. Probably over something so stupid... And I feel bad because you were just being a good son/daugther to your mother and pay for their wedding, which you shouldn't have too...so I don't think it was really your fault..

40 - I hope you're kidding. Seriously. And 45... Relax. I know what marriage is, I just went through one. I could use a bastion of synonyms to mean the same thing. Anyway, I'm on your side--why are you getting on my case? If I were you, I'd attack those who are saying that marriage is a waste of time, not someone who still believes wholeheartedly in the sanctity of such things.
