Wedding Etiquette Forum

I'm so bored I'm reading the Single Parents board on the bump and..

there is woman who got pregnant by a married man (she did not know).  He was in a serious accident and she is PISSED that his family is not acknowledging her unborn son on the website that updates his condition and how the wife (who took the husband back) and son are doing?


Am I the only one who thinks that is messed up?  I mean sure the guy is a d-bag, but why would you add them to the website? 






What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

  • Whoa.  That's all kinds of crazy. 

    I'm so bored I was reading the gifts and registry board. 
  • me too..

  • The duck DH made for dinner finished an hour early so now I'm all fed and slightly boozed.  I don't know if I can make it to midnight at this rate.  I've never gone on the bump before.  I wonder if that might get me through the next 4 hours...
  • I was bored and reading Relationships on the Nest. There's a 20 year old who slept with someone else a month before her wedding and claims that it wasn't really an affair because they weren't married yet. 99.99 % chance its mud, but it entertained for a minute.

  • DH is at work.  I have not talked to him in 4 hours.  I sure he is really busy.

     I did open the champagne.. But it's not doing anything for me right now.  I going to try one more glass.

     I only have 3 more hours to go.   I should make it.  But not because of the knot.  I'm also playing  casino games on the PSP.

  • Tortis - I work with a girl who has the same name as the nest MUDer.  Weird.
  • hang in there guys.  Making it to midnight is awesome!

    The bump, not so much...

  • Sex & Romance is a good one too.  If you happen to come across a post of mine (answering a question), please ignore.  thankyouverymuch.
  • I just tried to look where she is from to see if she's anywhere near you, but she didn't have a location. Can you imagine if you actually did find out that a coworker posted something like that and was serious? I would probably drop small comments about what she claims happened because I'm cool like that.

  • Hehe.  Thankfully my coworker is neither 20 nor married so I'm pretty sure it's not her. 
  • HA! Coffer thats funny. I've been reading on the Nest because I'm off and have been bored. I usually read Relationships, Married Life, Sex/ Romance and Trouble in Paradise because I think most trainwrecks end up on those boards. God I'm lame.

  • "I didn't know he was married"- riiiiiiight.

  • I really hope that 20 year old's post is a MUD.

    If not this girl is totally clueless and should not be married. And it's not because she cheated, she clearly does not have a clue about life and relationships

    do you get the feeling she wants to stay with the BD and wishes the wife did not take him back?

    Why else would you care so much?

  • Totally!  The crack about the wife taking him back "even though she found another woman's clothes in the house".  If they were your clothes, dummy, did you seriously not see any signs in his house that he had a wife or other children?

  • I think the 20yo is MUD too. My little sister just turned 20 and she is pretty sheltered, but is still not that clueless!

    did you read the Family Matters post about the OP wanting to know if they have a chance to get custody of his kids. Who live in PA with their paternal grandfather (he has the custody  of them).  Apparently, grandpa is sick and want to move to PR where he is from.  The dad has not seen them in 6 years or something.

    Would you marry someone who has not seen his kids on 6 years?  I'm sorry that is a HUGE character flaw that I would be a deal breaker for me.


    thank god for edit.  the champagne is misspelling a lot of words..

    <div>Agreed 100%. How hard is it to see that a person like that is not going to be accountable to you or any future kids that you may have? If you know something like that about him before you get married and still go through with the wedding, my sympathy is slim to none.</div>

    It can be interesting reading.  I find myself taking mental notes if I get pregnant.. Of course you never know how you will be until you have a child, but I hope the mental notes will keep me in check from time to time.

  • This was posted on 3rd tri as well, so even the bump thinks this is extra BSC. On the bright side, I feel like freakin June Clever right now.

  • Uh, probably because the website is for his close friends and family who do not KNOW or CARE about his mistress?

    I agree about the kids thing. I mean, I live 2500 miles from my parents and the longest I went without seeing them is about a year and a half. And I'm an adult. Think about how slow time moves for children.

  • I don't know. . . I know a guy who hasn't seen his daughter from his first marriage in 5 - 10 years, but not by choice.  His first wife fan off with the daughter, filed for divorce remotely, and won't let him see his daughter unless he travels cross country.  She filed from a different state, and it doesn't happen to value the father in divorce proceedings.  He's remarried, has two kids, and sends his first daughter a check every month, as that's all he CAN do.  Clearly, not somebody I'm romantically involved with, but the blanket statement of it being a character flaw doesn't work for me.  He's done everything he can, shy of divorcing his second wife (which seems to be what the first wife wants - for him to be single - in order to let his daughter visit). 

    The first daughter will be 18 soon, and able to decide for herself, but she's heard from her mother for the last 10 years how awful her dad is, so who knows.
