What wedding moment made you think "they're not gonna last long"?

[@goodgollymissmolly7624]

About story 10, it was not on the groom, that bride was absolutely abusing him. Maybe not physically - hell, maybe she was - but definitely emotional abuse was happening. It’s so difficult for victims of domestic abuse to be able to leave their situations, and this includes men being abused by their wives. The sad thing is that while women aren’t often believed because “he’s such a great guy!”, men aren’t often believed because “women can’t abuse men, that’s impossible!” I feel so bad for him, and I hope he genuinely does get his happily ever after.

[@erickpoorbaugh6728]

Exactly. It's easy to say from an outside perspective that an abuse victim is stupid for not leaving, but the fact is, domestic abuse is specifically designed to keep the victim from thinking clearly like that.

[@28ebdh3udnav]

I consider myself as being a victim of abuse because my spouse gets mad when I deny her cigarettes. I lost my job a month ago. Since I spend a lot on cigarettes, a pack a day which is about $140 a month on cigarettes, I told her that I would have to say no at times so we can make it on savings. She blew up, cursing at me, yelling, etc. one day she was upset because i denied her a pack. I told her and I reminded her that I can't because I am low on cash. Right from the start, yelling, cursing, etc, and she went on to compare me to her ex husband and ex boyfriend. Saying I was exactly like them. Also when I was telling her that if I pay for the car, I will be low on cash for weeks so no cigarettes. Yelling and cursing at me and she slammed her fist on the car door. I was calm the whole way home but I stopped at the gas station and got my alcohol. Mind you, I drink but weekends only and less than 15 or less than ten a week but I am the problem since I get drunk on the weekends and it's a lot. Plus, she gives some of her food stamps to family. She gave away about 300 out of 700 she gets to family but I'm the one with issues because I asked her asked for $15 in juice so I can make some cheap wine at home. That's a lot but not 300 to family. And let's forget, in the next 5 days, she spent 6 bucks or so on cigarettes.

​@@erickpoorbaugh6728 "... domestic abuse is specifically designed to keep the victim from thinking clearly like that." No, that's a cop out for being weak minded.

I can empathise with this. Me and my son's father never got married but 9 months into the relationship I started thinking this, then a year in I said it a few times to him, there was a but though, I said 'loving you is hard, very hard sometimes but I will love you anyway cos you need it' and he did, he still does but the way he goes on with drugs and mood swings (especially his violence and verbal abuse due to an angry mood swing or due to drug abuse) I tried helping him and supporting him in whatever way I could but nothing helped and he couldn't change, so I tried to get him diagnosed or have psychiatric help to see if it was something specific we could treat or if he had like ADHD or a type of autism he couldn't control or acknowledge but there was no self help during the wait and bringing our little boy in the world it was dangerous and I had to leave, not cos I didn't care for him but because I had to keep our son safe. I didn't demand anything off him, I just left and told him if anything just to look after hinself. He is on the list to be tested for ADHD and\or autism as he has been cleared for bipolar and BPD. I hope he gets the help and support he needs, until then, though he deserves love from a girlfriend, he probs shouldn't be with anyone cos it's toxic and confusing and scary :\ he deserves a lot more for himself and in his relationships, I just couldn't put ou r son in that fluctuating environment and neither could I cope with the emotional turmoil and anxiety :\

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

​@@jipsileigh4903 Hey Lady... Momma.... I UNDERSTAND! My kiddos Pappa had CHALLENGES, and while I can see the damage caused by him, I didn't split with him until it was verging physical danger to the kiddos. Even then, it could be argues that it "verged" long before, but I always managed to be super-human-mom and deal with things that way. It wasn't until he actually got some help, that he was starting to be in barely controlled rage rage 24/7. I couldn't do any more. He had to go. That was almost 11 years ago. He lost his job in his calling, moved away to his folks place, almost lost his life.... and he somehow never gave up! HE IS DOING BETTER!!! He has worked his ASS OFF and is LIVING AGAIN! He has a wonderful job in his calling, he is a wonderful father, we co-parent, he is appreciative and supportive of me.... he got there. (He definitely is AuDHD, and is a wonderful role model not in many ways for our son!) BUT - I just got out of a relationship that, in hindsight, was nothing but a mistake. This last man also had so much GOOD... but he never saw his own faults, was older and apparently addicted to being a victim, stopped therapy because it was "too hard".... etc Also, while the kids I have are better for having a dad, and this man in particular is grateful and looking to "pay it back" for all I sacrificed supporting him and our kids, I never will regain even a fraction of what I lost. My life is set, and there's no changing it now. I struggle on the daily to find something that can be "ME" in my life, because such had been consumed .... etc etc (Oh, and he and I will never again be a couple. Part of him figuring himself out is acknowledging how wrong we were for each other from the start.) So, I DO UNDERSTAND. Your ex might indeed get better, and be a true dad some day. IF he works, for YEARS, never gives up, he can indeed get there! It is up to him though. You talked about what HE deserves, do you consider what YOU deserve? Please? I was raised to believe that if I "deserved" something, it would be given to me, but if I tried to get a "deserved life" for myself I was in fact horrible and deserved horrible things.... which is pretty common for females it seems. It took my ex 15 years total to "come around" and he still has challenges. During that time I nearly destroyed myself being a mom to our kids AND a support to HIM, all while having absolutely zero support myself. Life is a bit better now, but I will never get back what I've lost. Additionally, the most recent ex was nothing but loss for me, and I will never get THAT time back, either. So, I understand and respect your compassion and your strength! In my case, and perhaps in yours, the kiddo's best chances were a dad, and ACTUAL DAD, in the picture with mom, and I see all of what I believed possible borne out in what now is. If I could have done this WITHOUT losing myself though? YES! ALSO, this is a "unicorn guy" type of thing - kiddo's papa is not, unfortunately, the norm. I could so easily be left with the absolute nothing I have, AND have him either still a mess, or being devoid of any sense of responsibility now for my own welfare.... Please, look at your own self? Recognize that YOU, ALSO, have been through A LOT and maybe could use some support to process it all? You will also FACE a LOT as a mom, with a kiddo's papa in serious challenges. I went years with him unable to see the kids unsupervised, and it truly almost did me in. Also, consider please for a moment your wording? WHY such emphasis on what HE DESERVES, with little to mention of yourself? THAT I resonate with, HARD... and it scares me for YOU 😢😢😢😢 Be it this man, or in years another man or men, you are VULNERABLE GIRLY!!😢😢😢 If you are VERY like me, it may not be possible to think of this for YOURSELF - ok. That's ok. Think of it THIS way then - YOUR KIDDO NEEDS a whole, deserving, strong, supportive AND supported momma who demonstrates healthy self-worth! Without that, you WILL BE SO VULNERABLE to more relationships where you are "needed" by a partner - who will not fulfill your own needs. Those relationships are NOT the experiences and environments you want for your kiddo - no matter kiddo's gender, I PROMISE YOU.😢😢 PLEASE - consider and tuck away my words? I wish I had more time and a more awake brain to make sure this isn't as rambling as I fear it is 😅 but ... this is what I've got for now. Be well. Consider much, please. YOU DESERVE MUCH. YOU CAN still support and believe in your ex, while learning to value yourself more... and again IF you are SO like me, you may have already learned to do so much more than you USED TO, but still... consider, please, as if you were your own child. Would you want your child to feel about themselves as you do about yourself, to have those expectations, etc? Every day, every interaction, somewhere in the back of your head "Is this what I want my child to learn from me, how I want them to have THEIR life?" Because in the end, that's the only way I found the strength to value my own self - by seeing what it would mean to my kiddos. I am DEFINATLY rambling now! 😂😂😂😂 Take care! Agapé 303

The groom turned up wasted, we heard the groomsmen saying he'd been drinking since six am. The wedding was at two in the afternoon. She kept dragging him around, forcing him to hug and kiss her, shouting at him when he didn't do what she wanted. She also screamed at guests to shut up several times. After the ceremony, several of his friends said he didn't want to get married or have any more kids, he'd been married before, but his fiance 'forced his hand.' They're still married but he's put his foot down and they aren't having kids.

Not exactly a wedding moment, but a wedding downsizing. My friend group and I were all skeptical of our friend's relationship because his gf seemed to share no interests or beliefs with him, seemed to isolate and control him (he moved out of state and she didn't let him use social media), and money was always extremely tight. Originally they were gonna have a normal wedding open to friends and family, but then decided on a private ceremony to save money. Miles away from all of us, money so tight that they can't afford to have 5ish old friends around. He got divorced about a year and a half later. Financial stress got to him, though I don't think having polar opposite political views and no shared interests helped either.

One of the things I see or hear in videos or reddit reads that is telling is if there is a violent cake smash. Not just a little cake or frosting boop on the nose, but the full on, basically hitting someone's face with a slight cake buffer, or slamming their face into cake on the hard table. Wedding dresses, wedding makeup, and wedding cake are all usually fairly expensive and complicated, so to ruin that effort and money spent on a surprise mean spirited and violent act towards someone you're supposed to love? It just doesn't make sense to me. How do you rebuild trust with someone who treats you that poorly on a day that is supposed to be about how much you love each other? Birch, yes the tree, is a good YT safe alternative for the b word, but honestly, even if my fiance yelled, "Shut up, woman," at me, that would be it for me. I knew that the c word was more common in Aus, but I hadn't heard that calling someone birch was more...acceptable? as well. If your SO is yelling and cussing at you on our wedding day, then that's a HUGE red flag! Plus, if someone "self medicating" that hard, then they probably have other things that should really happen first, like therapy or counseling, and possibly treatment from a psychiatrist. As for why a man would marry someone he doesn't like much less love? He's probably found someone he thinks will take care of him. There are lots of men out there who are looking for a maid or second mommy to take care of them and clean up after them. They think that their job is the only effort that they need to put into the relationship. Romance and acts of love beyond their own physical gratification? Nah, they did that while dating to get them that far. Laundry? Nope, that's "women's work"! Cooking and cleaning? Mommy never taught him how, so now he's useless and it's "too late to learn." (Weaponized incompetence) Parenting? Hell no! The woman handles all that. They work a career, then they play or relax leaving the hard work to their partner. Manchildren. My parents were engaged 6 wks after MEETING, no friendship or getting to know you before dating, and yeah they both rushed into that one without thinking, and it all blew up in my tweens to teens (because middle school didn't suck enough as it was, right?) They've been divorced for over 20 yrs now, longer than they were married. Dad still texts Mom on their anniversary, which is a bit weird, ngl. While I wouldn't call them friends, they are civil, live only a few mi apart, and do still care about each other in some capacity, which is much better than many divorced couples. We've been able to have holidays together and such, and if Dad or I need something small, we're both disabled and are living together, Mom is usually willing to help.

Idk, I guess if both people really want to then sure.

Would actually be a red flag for me. Is the thing you want to express at the event meant to join two people in marriage a middle finger to your family, a statement on racism, or the love shared between the two? Are you marrying a Black person or any other person of color because of their race, to piss off your parents, or because you love that person? I know that you can both be marrying someone for the right reasons and simultaneously be happy to put a middle finger up to your racist family, but what you choose/want to be the center theme of the day I think can say a lot about where your focus is, and for me that would be something to get to the bottom of before going through with the marriage.

My time to shine! It was a lifelong friend, she's like a sister of mine. Background: She'd known this guy when they were kids, but he moved away for some reason and they lost touch. So he comes back to town and they meet up to catch up...48hrs later they are engaged. I wish I was joking here, but that's the exact timeline here. I was a bridesmaid, so I got an inside look at how doomed this relationship was from the jump. Friends and family were making bets on when it'd end, no one was excited about it at all, we were just there to be involved in the life event of our loved one. The day of the wedding NO ONE on his side even showed up. None of his family members, none of his friends and none of the wedding party, they had to get her brother to stand in for the man of honor. If you look at the pictures from that day we look annoyed or exhausted, even the bride and groom. If you had no context, you'd think it was from a forced school function or something because we all look like we'd rather be anywhere else. They lasted a few years, it probably would've ended earlier if she hadn't gotten pregnant and almost died in childbirth.

Their marriage was annulled before they had even returned from the honeymoon of 2 weeks.

I got married over a decade ago and went through with it because my dad got the day off to go to the wedding. We broke up three days before the wedding. My now ex-husband filed for divorce and it was finalized just short of four years into the marriage. The marriage was messy. I was afraid of him and living in my car to keep myself safe. He called me one day and said that I was going to give him a child or he was moving on, I refused and he left. Filing for a divorce is the nicest thing that he ever did for me.

Did wedding photography once, was so chaotic I never did it again. Groomsmen jumped in front of the camera constantly even after the bride (my aunt) asked them to stop because they were ruining all the photos. Groom egged them on and asked me to photograph him smushing cake in her face and tried to fire me when I refused. They divorced 2 years later

My aunt's 1st wedding. I was around 7 years old, and I was the flower girl. They were highschool sweethearts and in their early 20s. He was in the military and had to travel to another state for training. She wanted to move out with him. My grandma said no because she is the baby of the family. With my mom's persuasion she decided to let her get married before she left because she had to be a "virgin." I don't think she was at this point. She was always a troublemaker. I don't remember much of the wedding as I was so young. But what I know they were having trouble having kids. The doctor told him he needed to lose weight to be able to have kids, and he refused. He ended up cheating, and she met a twice her age guy online and moved in with him before the divorce was finalized. They lasted 6yrs. With 2nd guy, she got married and had 2 kids. After around 13 years, they were divorced. I met him once, but he is super masajonistic and ah. They would call the police for their fights constantly. 4 months after the 2nd divorce, she married a 3rd guy behind everyones back. He is a nice guy, but my aunt constantly cheats on him with her kid's father. Poor man doesn't even know. For the high school sweetheart, idk aperently what my mom tells me he is married and happy.

Christianity can be hard for unbelievers to understand, but it’s also true that some Christians, whether they mean well, or not, do not always represent our faith very well. In fact, we mess up every day to one degree or another.

I also got married in a Temple, wih far better results. And I was not the cheeriest bride, I admit, because I have brutal anxiety and am Autistic and we’re famously bad at change. So even though I wanted this, I was in a state, man. And since the nearest Temple was four hours from my parents’ house, we had the wedding a couple of days before the reception. So after the wedding my parents suggested going out to lunch with the people who had been to the wedding, just a handful of family. But I didn’t know the city (and had no appetite what with the anxiety) so we went to Olive Garden because my brother loved the unlimited breadsticks. I mean, fair, but then that douchenozzle spent the next hour dropping political topics, like meat into a pool of piranha, and watching my dad and my husband’s ex-step-mom, two know-it-all old farts, have a “well, actually” competition. This is both a bad memory for a wedding day, and kind of a hilarious story. He just had to feed that ADHD need for mental stimulation… Anyway, the good news is we had nowhere to go but up after that. Nice wedding, very peaceful and sacred, stupid lunch, chill reception because I knew I’d hate anything too fancy so it was just an open house kind of thing. And our 31st anniversary is in May. And we’re still in the Church. Can’t blame the girl in this video for being disillusioned after what she went through, though. Homeboy should have changed his mind then, rather than torture her. Sounds like a real creep. And if anyone is still reading… we went to a wedding a few years later that fit the description here. Everything was for show. Groom’s mom got her officiant’s whatever so she could perform the wedding, made a comment about them sleeping together before they got married (dude… this is why we have someone else officiate), the whole wedding party was plastered BEFORE the wedding… so of course at the reception they’re staggering around all over the place. The only path to the bathroom was a narrow route between extra chairs because the venue seemed to think just shoving off to the side was fine. Only one person could move through at once and one sloppy groomsman always seemed to be at the other end when my pregnant self was trying to get through and he always decided he got to go first. And yeah… they didn’t last long. When the main focus seems to be on presenting a big show instead of starting a marriage I tend to doubt how long it’ll last.

My friend married a sexist idiot. They were dating three months when he proposed (without ring). After that, she paid for everything (she was single mother and still he didn’t pay for anything, only thing he paid for was $50 for his suit). That was first “they not gonna last”. I was bridesmade. When we wanted to make her bachelorette party, he didn’t let her go unless it will be bachelorette/bachelor party, both together. So we all watched how he got wasted, while she must silently sit in the corner. That was second “they not gonna last”. We all told her not to marry him, but she was pregnant and didn’t want to be alone with two kids. So she married him. And after ceremony, I was talking to her uncle and cousins, when groom came and start talking about my boobas, like if I was not there! He start asking them if they are real or not, and how he touched (he didn’t, I would never let such discusting guy touch me!). I said my piece of mind about him right there, he was angry I humiliated him. I think he deserved it. Well, they didn’t last even a year. He stoped working a few weeks after wedding, forced her to go back to work right after birth so they have money, but still wanted her to do everything at home. She was nothing more than maid and brood mare (the baby will be boy, or they will have emediately another. They had boy, and when she get pregnant again, he forced her to abort, because she couldn’t work if pregnant, and he had his boy already). She also find out he owed a lot of money, and because she married him, now half of it is on her. The last thing was, when he got jealous because she talked to another guy and he beat her. Badly. 😢

I have to speak up for my girl Jane Austen. Her romances are all about people understanding, honoring, and getting to know their spouse's character thoroughly BEFORE marriage and have tons of cautionary tales for when people don't take the time to open their eyes. Edit: and as a word of advice FROM a conservativ(ish, biblical, not traditional) Christian, if a supposed conservative Christian is marrying someone who is not, best case scenario is they're making a horrible mistake. One of my best friends did that and her faith is the single biggest strain on their marriage. Ironically, her husband doesn't realize it's also the greatest boon for him as she takes her role as an ever-improving wife very, very seriously.

It would be a dealbreaker if a man wanted to date me and he didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ because my faith is so important to me. One of the smartest thing my precious husband and I did before we got married was to do premarital counseling with our pastor. We covered subjects that can trip up couples who are not on the same page and helped us to recognize potential land mines, showed us what our communication styles, strengths, and weaknesses were, and made sure that we were aligned with each other’s values as to not be,”unequally yoked”. It was very beneficial for us and we were tickled pink when our pastor said that we “scored higher” than any couple he had ever counseled. We are coming up on 6 years married in December and we still feel like newlyweds. I would marry that man a 1,000 times over. Not only do I love him, I really LIKE him too. ❤😇

[@gemcorker3982]

My husband wants me to tell the story of his horrible cousin's terrible wedding. So, he (Groom) was a good 10 or so years older than his future wife, bragged about how he was gonna go home and get her pregnant shortly after telling me how he had to wait for her to turn 16 so as not to get arrested. He had long standing alcohol and drug issues that his parents did nothing to get him help for & could barely hold a job down. So anyway, he gets her pregnant like 3 times in short succession & they decide to get married & play the big happy family with all their kids & the rest of the family in attendance. My husband met Groom for a swift drink prior to the ceremony & he was already completely plastered. During the wedding, he nearly passed out at the altar & had to be held up by his younger bro who was Best Man - his mother's response to seeing him in that state was to shit talk him, quite loudly, during the ceremony. Maybe you should have done more to keep him sober?? We all retire to the reception venue, which was a lovely pub but very inaccessible... my husband is a full-time wheelchair user, so the steps between rooms & lack of a disabled toilet were huge problems & would have ruined the experience for me if it wasn't ruined by the rest of the night. We had our 2 kids who were with us, maybe 6 and 4 years old & so obvs I'm paying attention to them when not lifting my husband up or down steps or taking him to the mens toilets to support him at the urinals. And then I see that one of Groom's kids, a little girl maybe 3 or 4, is just running around barefoot everywhere. There's broken glass in the cobbles outside!! Broken glass in the garden!! Random dogs!!! There was an A road the pub fronted on to, that had a 60mph limit and that girl was constantly so close to just bolting into that road!!! I chased after her for over an hour. I mentioned it to Groom & he just said "she's not one for shoes, our (nickname)". The Bride didn't seem to care much either, despite how they both spent 80% of their time smoking outside neither of them did anything to keep that girl safe. Occasionally other people would help me keep her diverted & occupied for a bit, but if you took your eyes off her she'd run off at full speed. Groom's mother, horrible witch that she is, commented on how I was running around after my husband, my kids & now her grandkid & how hard it must be & how hard I must work. I just shrug & say it's just how it is. She immediately turns to my husband & asks what he does all day if I'm out at work? Is he LAZY? He was looking after our kids. We left soon after that. Groom has done several stints in rehab but still isn't clean, last I heard his witch of a mother finally banned him from the house after he stole some jewellery of hers for drug money. Bride & Groom are no longer together & I heard the Bride had lost custody of the kids after social workers showed up & she was doing coke while the kids wandered the neighbourhood. We don't see much of my husband's aunt & uncle anymore. Also, for context my husband's disability was from birth, and he's been in a wheelchair full-time since high school - his aunt, uncle & cousin were fully aware of his access needs & just ignored it *even though uncle is himself disabled*. He refuses to accept it though, just staggering around with crutches or sticks instead of accepting a wheelchair would make his life better. (He clearly thinks he's too good for that sort of thing.) I see his other son regularly, he's doing good & has his life together, but the rest of them can sod right off.

So I wasn't at the wedding. I haven't even been around my cousin her since the wedding, since we only talked on facebook and she married into an amish or memnonite or whatever family. I haven't been there, but my sister has since they share a summer cottage, and from everything she says, my cousin is just... Not herself. Always in a bad mood, always annoyed, complaining about the fact that they have to do work on the cottage since 'her husband doesn't want to work on his vacation'. Well, okay, but it's a 100-year-old cabin that didn't get wifi until 2020. Only got a modern phone line in THIS YEAR. Last year my sister discovered that, in the six years since my father died, NOBODY had cleared out the brush at the top of the hill. Not once. So, my sister, in between preparing for her own wedding, helping my septugenarian and extremely unwell from Vitamin D poisoning mother, and rushing back home to take care of her disabled brother (hi), managed to bundle up all the brush at the top of the hill. My father, who would do at least some of that every day they were there when he was alive, would usually clear out one-two bundles of wood a year. Sister cleared out ELEVEN bundles, in only about two weeks, and drove ten of those to the dump in her truck. Only left ONE behind when cousin came up for her time in the cabin. Cousin got angry and chewed out my (rail-thin, 73-year-old) mother for not having done it and leaving them with something to do. Literally all they needed to do was carry a bundle of sticks to the car, drive to the dump, and throw it in. The place is literally falling apart and cousin won't give it to sister, but also refuses to do anything to take care of it. Despite marrying a woodworker, and it's a wood cabin, she insists he shouldn't have to do anything because he doesn't want to work on vacation. Which, okay, pal, but then you gotta find the money to pay someone ELSE for it.

She actually did make it through the surgery but she never left the hospital... She died less than a week later. What's worse was that her 2 very young kids (both well under 5 and had never even met their biological father) that got taken away from the poor groom and the bride's family and placed with the biological father.

My boyfriend and I went with my family to Kansas for my cousin's wedding. The wedding was as cheap and tacky as can be. The whole thing took place in her family's backyard, the "wedding" cake was just a Dr. Who birthday cake with the words "Congratulations [bride's name] and [groom's name]" lazily slapped onto it. There were also Dr. Who birthday streamers dotted everywhere. They also wanted to do this entire event in August at night. Everyone was just shivering in their seats while the bride and groom were talking with the pastor. For their "vows" they played an extremely cheesy love song and just stood there in silence throughout that entire song. No one was dancing or even singing along, just uncomfortable silence. Once it was finally over and they did their kiss, everyone was rushing to the nearest fire pit to finally get warm. The food at the party was as cheaply made as you'd expect, and the cake had tasted even worse than it looked. I knew this marriage wouldn't last from that whole experience and I was correct. I found out that they divorced a few months after the wedding due to the husband being an extreme deadbeat waste of space. I also found out why they even got married in the first place. Turns out that she had gotten pregnant with this pos and that both families pressured them to get married before the baby arrived. A few months after the marriage, she misscarried, and that was the end of their life as husband and wife.

She was marrying the ex. I was horrified. See, this guy had once thrown a pot of boiling water on her. She has scars on her chest and face. And she was marrying him. Well it turns out that i had to pickup a bridesmaid and take her to the church. We arrived 30 minutes early....to an empty church. It was me, the bridesmaid, my mother, our driver and the priest. Gradually the other groomsmen and bridesmaids arrived. Then the groom arrived. And still no guests. My cousin arrived an hour late. And we had the service with just my mom and the driver as the guests. It was one of the weirdest weddings I'd ever been to. We then all left for the reception and found everyone.

blackmail has many forms, the abuser just has to make the abused feel helpless enough so they THINK there's "nothing they can do" regardless if there actually is a way out - unfortunately, not all abusers will realize that they are doing this or they just don't care as long as they get what they want out of it. It's up to the individual to say "no", put up boundaries, recognize toxic people and actions, and defend themselves; but not everyone learns or gets taught how to do all of those things, so when they become victims they don't usually admit that they actually had a choice and that they just didn't see it.
