Feeling sad after attending a wedding that I’ll never have this.

[Theonlywayisup22]

I went to a wedding the other day and it’s left me feeling sad. I have always been kind of against weddings. But that’s only because I hate being the centre of attention. I think this has come from my neglectful childhood.

I’ve been with my partner for 5 year and have 2 kids. I’ve never really said either way I want to get married. But this wedding was so lovely. So lovely to see the family loving the 2 getting married. I have my mum who is completely unemotional. I’ve lost my dad who was my best friend. My In laws don’t like me. I’ve come to the conclusion having posted in here the mum has some kind of personality disorder. I think she’s been in her son’s ear about marriage. She has told him that women are manipulative. Anyway at the wedding when asked by the groom it’s your turn he said no I’m not interested in that.

Who would even come and cry about the fact that they love to see their children happy. It’s just made me realise how alone we are.

I'm sorry you're feeling sad. Things are not always as they seem. I've come to the conclusion that the more flashy and extravagant something is, the more fake it is.

Just make sure you are protected financially. Water tight with independent funds.

You could always ask about getting married but you'd have to decide how important it is. A civil ceremony could be easier, maybe.

Your children will start asking for their parents to get married soon enough. Your DP mother doesn't get a vote on how you and your DP arrange your family.

I’m sad that if we ever did have one there won’t really be any family there that love us and rooting for us. It must be so nice to have that. It’s putting me off even thinking about it.
