That is correct. We went out to buy stuff at Sams and decided to grab something quick. I might not eat dinner tonight.

And in other news dad made an homophobic just now when Mom asked if the one singing was a woman and dad said almost and then said it was a gay man. Sigh.

And apparently they're having a wedding this summer.

What would a better outcome be? Should he throw his other kids off a cliff in some sort of tribal ritual like one of the Conan movies which I'm forgetting which exact one it is but I know it had Conan in it and dead kids.

Um...dude's an absolute loser and emotionally manipulates her and is wicked controlling, she shouldn't have gotten with him in the first place.

We all fucking told her he was bad news but she didn't listen. Girl's got a BA from a nice university but instead she smokes weed with him all day and doesn't have a pot to piss in.

Nah it was fucking planned. Both work minimum wage jobs but she said that "they wanted to get a jump start on having a family."

They might make it. People grow. My sister banged some guy that seemed functionally retarded but she's still with him 16 years later.

I say always look on the bright side of life. And get them an electric food dehydrator for the wedding. Everybody loves jerkey.

I'm familiar with the opposite case. She just wanted a husband at all costs and latched onto him like a crab, sealing the deal right after with a bunch of kids that he obviously loves to death.

The worst part is not being able to tell them how much they are fucking up since they'll take the smallest amount of criticism (or even advice) as a direct insult. But the most vexing thing is that he's damn smart. He should have been able to see that from afar, but nope.

She's never had a real boyfriend before him. All the guys she's been with use her and leave her and I think she has self esteem issues so she never felt like she was good enough. And then this fuckboy rolls around, tells her everything she wants to hear, and she latches onto him and the attention that he gives her like a leech. She probably doesn't feel like she deserves better and she settles in everything that she does (she's been working this fucking job for 3 years now; she has enough experience to find something better but she won't look). I don't know. She's written our group of friends off and keeps us at a distance because she knows we don't approve. Even her family doesn't like him but she told them to fuck off and I KNOW she would choose him over them in a heartbeat.

I know I'm gonna get an invite to this fucking wedding but god bless the fact that I'm gonna have to save my leave for Xmas time.

how does she feel about divorce? I know some people who are religious enough to not believe in divorce so as soon as they make a bad marriage decision, they're stuck for life

of course he could leave her like my mom's best friend's husband did. he was a surfer guy and he just left her and their kid and never even bothered legally breaking it off

She's fine with divorce, but she won't ever leave him. She settles, gets stuck somewhere and allows herself to get comfortable with her shitty situation. And then she gets too lazy / scared to do anything about it.

And he fucking knows this, he knows all the self-esteem issues she has, and he uses that against her all the fucking time. He abuses her emotionally and I'm not going to fucking sit at that wedding and watch them get married.

Good god this sounds identical to my step sister. I mean almost 100% the exact same situation. She is still married to the guy now 3 years later and she has basically disowned her family.

I haven't personally talked to her in almost 5 years after my Dad and her Mom got divorced. They have two kids together to my knowledge last I heard, both working dead end jobs and not even trying to improve things. The thing is she went through the Air Force and went to college after and actually had a really great job in St. Louis till she met this guy, quit that job, moved back up to a small town near this area and then started working at a gas station.

I know her Mom tried her best to get her help for drugs and tried to get her out of the relationship when she saw what was happening, but obviously that didn't work.

I mean that if he's as bad as he sounds there might be a breaking point for her someday. For someone who has a problem and doesn't want to admit/confront it, I think its usually good to leave that lifeline out there for them and give them the space so they can choose to use it on their own. Its hard to watch them struggle but its only worse for them to be pushed away
At the very least thats my philosophy for such things

and for a (more) positive version of this situation: my cousin (not actually related tbh. aunt by marriage's nephew) had the same situation with a woman who was controlling. he dropped out of college and worked at walmart for years. they eventually divorced till she guilted him to get back together. since then they divorced again and he realized his mistake and started schooling again and has been enjoying his time with his daughter more. took like 12 years but he finally turned things around

I will always be happy that my sister and I decided to never have children within years of each other.

As someone who grew up in poverty, fuck off if you want to raise kids on a minimum wage salary. My former friend did this and had a nervous breakdown in a span of two kids, in two years.

So goddamned infuriating to see this shit all over in my hometown and all over the county.

The scene in the americans
where they told the kids over dinner that they were separating was excruciating. Parents are selfish dickheads. "We're going to shatter your lives, kids, because we don't like eachother lately" suck it up and keep it together you fuckers

She doesn't even see that she's struggling or that she's going to accomplish nothing with her life.

My other friends who hate him just as much as I do are going, but they all live in the area. It's a legit excuse when I say I have to save my leave.

Yep. And it's not even about the parents. They are bringing new life into an already shitty situation. Those kids can't choose where they are born, but because their parents were selfish they now have to grow up in a poverty stricken household and deal with all of that shit throughout life.

I know. That was just one of the battles I lost awhile back. She wanted one and basically idolized these things.

I'm all "it's a fucking blender" and wanted to grab a walmart, but she was deadset on this. All the big chefs use them. We can make our own peanut butter and salsa. It will last way longer. I'll make smoothies every day!!!1111

It does blend the shit out of stuff, but there's no way it was worth that money.

Yea I can't fathom what would make it worth 400 dollars but gotta pick your battles I guess.

I'm not criticizing you for not going, more just saying that telling her how bad he is I dont' think would help. though usually when i say those kinds of things, people say "yeah thats what i was trying to do". but yeah when someone's struggling and not wiling to agree with you on why its always good to drop a "if theres ever something wrong and you'd like my help, let me know *wink* *wink* *wink*"

I went to a shotgun wedding 5 years ago and it was misery. I needed a drink because the girl was pregnant and the guy was trying to get on disability at the time and was not working at the time.

I could see this poor dude's life being sucked out of him, by his eyes.

Contrast that to the pastor's kid and her BF having a college education and that wedding was just fine.

They held the wedding party at a winery and FREE ALCOHOL!!!

I would have to agree here that the best course of action now is just to let her know you're there for her even though you can't make the wedding (when you get an invite). Pushing her harder on how bad of a guy he is will just make her start rejecting you at this point based off what you're saying.

Just be there when she needs you, even though it hurts to see her making the wrong decision there's only so much that can be done by others.

Yep to the bolded. I tried my best to stay friends with a lot of people after I moved away, only talk to a couple of my friends anymore on a regular basis. I have a lot of them on facebook so I get to keep up with everyone, but ya distance changes a lot of that.

Sex ed is so bad in this country. I wonder if they even had proper sex ed in school or if it was all "abstinence only" bullshit.

All I remember is our sex ed teacher was also the football coach, 90% of class ended up being a few of us sitting in the back playing poker.

I do remember the "pregnancy" video, but other than that all I remember is hanging out with friends playing cards in that class.

If I ever have a wedding you're invited.

It won't be open bar though, because by then I'll be like "I just got my '5 years sober" badge so I can't have alcohol at my wedding".
