I gave my ndad a gift for Christmas which he then regifted to me. For the same Christmas. He then complained that no one ever gets him anything, eventhough he is so, so, SOOO generous.
Just a subtle thank(fk) you very much gesture... Make sure you make everyone know how generous the grooms parents are. Before and definitely during the wedding. Go big with this" wedding wouldn't be p…
I keep getting stuck on your word "irritated." Not to sound like Dr. Phil here, but you sound like you are really stifling your emotions with such a minor word. What you are describing is not "irritat…
Your parents are certainly not being generous but you aren’t entitled to their money. I’d argue that most parents in their situation would do more to help their kids but you aren’t entitled to what wa…
You're the same age as my LDR partner, who I met on this sub. We've been together for 14 months. We've definitely had those ups and downs regarding the afterlife of our respective ended marriages. Ou…
Your new partner is not a replacement for your ex wife. The fact that you love her and she's amazing is not mutually exclusive with the fact that you lost the wife you built all these hopes and dreams…
Thanks for your clarification. It wasn't that long ago when I felt nobody could possibly understand what I was going through. I can't tell you where I found people who understand what this feels lik…

1. This is a filter, If they go straight to sex talk, they have disqualified themselves. They did you a favor by not wasting your time. 2. Being authentic will be important for the one that will be a…

You say he’s smart, communicates well, and is generous with his time, but based on my interpretation of the rest of your post, he’s only selectively these things. He’s not emotionally or fiscally inte…
Same. I was with my SO for nearly 20 years before he died. We had a ceremony but weren’t legally married. While we were best friends, and I enjoyed the family get togethers we hosted and the happy …
I think that you're right, but I think that a less generous and more correct way to phrase this is that a lot of resistance to hearing out complaints comes from the unconscious desire to maintain a re…
I also dated a hat man. On the first date the hat kind of made sense because we were outside and there was some sun. But then he kept the hat on when we went into the bar and wore it all night. I thou…

Generous offer, that.
Thank you for your support. Yes, I should. It actually bothers me why I want to "save him" and am so delusional. It must be coming from some trauma, not from kindness. And yes, I agree, I don't see h…
