So, my stepmom and I are fairly close. She has been with my dad for almost 20 yrs. It's not often she'll introduce me as her stepdaughter and there are times when I'm at my dads I will refer to her as...
My DH talks about how he learned looks aren't everything in a relationship, that he learned that w/his exes. He tells me that I'm the hottest women he has been with, but I'm starting to doubt that. I...
Me and my fiancé are paying for the majority of our wedding. My parents are paying for a dj but other than that everything else is on our shoulders. My biggest problem I'm having is that with anything...

I recently just got engaged. And of course I’m super excited about it! I know that no one will be as excited about my wedding as I am, but I’ve felt a huge let down. My mom doesn’t seem excited about...

Long story short, my fiancé works in law enforcement and he can work up to 12-16 hours a day. We barely have time or see each other. I feel like we’re strangers. I’m at the point now where I feel...
I’m getting married in less than two days and it’s been stressful but I know that it all leads to a wonderful moment. After our rehearsal, my cousin posted something on her social media that seemed...
Hey Guys! It's been really hard to admit this, but I honestly don't think I'll be accompanied by a bridal party/groomsmen. The women I have in mind have all let me down one way or another, or have...
Hello everyone. So this is a bit lengthy, bear with me. My father was injured at work 3 years ago, which resulted in emergency spinal surgery. Since then he has difficulty sitting for too long,...
