[QUOTE]I confess that I have a problem saying "no" to people who ask me to do things. I always feel incredibly guilty. So I confess that I've been avoiding going to church very regularly this summer because every single week, H and I get asked to do something or participate in something. We don't have the time, due to work and school, and most of the time it's stuff we don't want to do anyway. And then I feel guilty for not going to church. I think I have a guilt problem.

The funny thing is, I'm not. For some reason I just have that Catholic guilt. I think I'm just weird.

AmoroAgain · July 2010

My confession-- I looked up a guy I dated about 6 years ago on FB to see if he was married, etc. When I first sent him a message, he was really receptive and kind. Then, when I mentioned I was married-- he stopped responding. I think he thinks it really wrong for me to talk to him when I'm married. The dude is UBER Christian and really conservative. He just recently "liked" GWB, the Bible and Fox News. *vom* So, I can't decide if I want to hang on to him for comedic purposes, or if I should send him another message telling him how NOT great he was when we were dating. Hmm. Tricky.

[QUOTE]Courtney, did you run it by your friend before you started dating him? I'd be crushed if I'd liked a guy for years and then my best friend scooped him up. Also, what does "And the whole time, my FH was in the room" mean? I've been meaning to ask you about that, but kept forgetting. In college I sort of had a casual crush on a guy that ended up liking my best friend and they made out several times at the bar, and when she started dating her BF (now H), I did try to get him to break them up by pursuing her again (her H is just heinous and they were LD); anyways, it didn't work. And he made the moves on me once, but it was too late by then.
Posted by georgia_bride09[/QUOTE]

I did run it by her, but I had already had a 4 hour conversation with him the night before. It started out with hm helping me do something to my computer and then just went from there. I told her about the convo and said that I wanted to talk to him again. She told me to do what I wanted to do and so I did. Of course, she told another good friend of ours that she was pissed and didn't want me to talk to him. It was about a month before we sat down again and hashed it all out. This was after we took our kids on a weekend trip and my daughter's bday party. Talk about tension.

My FH was the photographer at my sister's wedding. At the time, Sept. 2008, I knew that my BFF liked him so I never gave him a first look. He also took pics at her baby shower in Feb. of 2009. He sent me a friend request in May 2009 and we had our first conversation on June 1, 2009. He told me that he was peeping me at my sister's wedding but that he could have sworn that I had a ring on. I told him I did. It was the ring my sister gave her husband!!! LOL!!!

Posted by MISSCOURTNEY20[/QUOTE]

Eh, it was one of those they were super super close in college and I think they had one of those "If neither of us is married by the time we're 40 we'll just marry each other" kind of deals (though they never dated) and I think he felt obligated to invite her. He recently said he'd be ok not inviting her, but we'd already sent STDs so you know how that goes, haha.

ErinGoBragh77 · July 2010

My cousin is marrying a guy I slept with once. It was a few years ago that it happened, and obviously wasn't my smartest move, but they didn't even know each other then. Still awkward though.

I would definitely keep him around for comedic purposes. I have lots of FB friends for that purpose. I guess that's mean, but oh well.

[QUOTE]Even though it's somewhat selfish, I'm bummed that we got so few wedding gifts. Luckily, we didn't have to use the emergency money in the wedding account, so we were still able to complete our registries, but I was completely shocked when we opened gifts post-honeymoon. Most of DH's family apparently considered their shower gifts our wedding gifts as well (no cards, nothing). Some of my friends went the same route. Some members of my family just haven't done anything . People have been asking: "So, you're probably swimming in money!" and all I want to say is: "No, actually we got about $200 at the wedding. Luckily, I worked overtime all year to pay for the damn thing, and we had a little money left over."
Posted by myother1[/QUOTE]

I feel the same way. My mom wanted me to have a big wedding when I didn't and one of her reasons (not the main one, just one of them) was that we would get so many gifts. Um, I essentially broke even with what I personally paid for (not the whole wedding) so things are still tight.

I'm honestly annoyed at my friends and family who didn't give any gift or card. A card is $.99 people.

We go to a baptist church, so the spirit get kinda high at times, and she cries. Or during prayer or things like that. It's not that she didn't cry before but now I just feel like it's because of the situation.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions. : This just reminded me...H and I were hanging out with some of my guy friends from college this weekend, who I hadn't seen since I graduated (7 years ago - eek!). The next morning, H asked me, "Did you ever date any of those guys?" I said no... ....and then a few minutes later, I had to add, "But I did sleep with one of them once." He said, "Yeah, that's really what I was asking." I never told him which one and he didn't ask. <strong>Oh, another confession: H doesn't know my "number" but I know his.</strong>
Posted by abbalish[/QUOTE]

This.
II have known my Fi for years before we ever dated, so he knows I was a little bit of a wild child for a time. He has never asked the "number" and I have never offered. I know his, and its low. Mine is higher.

MissLeahM · July 2010

I confess that I'm kind of bummed no one bought stuff off of our registry. I know I shouldn't be, and I'm really grateful for everything we've gotten but it would have been nice to receive matching towels.. Or towels that weren't itchy. Oh well.

I'm also pissed that my coworker told me "your a big girl" after saying that her and our summer student can't both leave because its our policy to always have two people in the office. She's the whole reason we have that policy! She's the one who was complaining that she thought one of our clients were creepy.
Yea, when they leave, I'm going to be making a fuss. *foot stomp*

Sorry, wall of text.

cengle · July 2010

Oh, I have another one. I confess that I stalked ex-BF's engagement pictures. I sincerely hope the ring he gave his FI is a family heirloom, because it is god-awful. I would never say that to anyone else, but it's true.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions. : No lie, the third weekend after FI and I were together, he got intense heat stroke and vomited in front of me like 5 times.

For the first YEAR of our LDR, every time I would go visit now FI I would get violently ill.

I confess that I'm really nervous that I'm going to be that sick at our wedding because of nerves.

mags0607 · July 2010

I also have a WR confession-
I am getting super nervous about looking like an attention wh0re because of the size of my shower. Its a couple's shower, so that ups the number, but there are nearly 85 people invited. I am close to everyone invited, and the shower hostess and my mother did the list together, but still, this thing is larger than some people's weddings.

I am also just really starting to get nervous about the wedding in general. Not the marriage part, but the actual wedding.

katiewhompus · July 2010

The first time Dh went out with me and my friends we completely set him up. He had a crush on me, but I was dating someone and my friend had a huge crush on him (even though she was married...sigh...). So I invited him out with us so that she could have her way with him. He and I ended up flirting all night long and the one time he gave her some attention (she was getting visibly pissed that she was being left out) I got really jealous. She never forgave me for breaking up with my bf and dating/marrying Dh before she had a chance to do him. I didn't really care.

I was really sick at my wedding because of nerves :( That probably doesn't make you feel better though lol. Try to eat snacks throughout the day to keep some food in your stomach ... my problem was I was nervous and didn't eat enough, so by the time our reception rolled around and I was sufficiently un-nervous enough to realize HEY I'M REALLY HUNGRY, our yummy yet extremely rich reception food did not agree with my stomach at all. It was pretty awful.

I've tried to get cars towed that are blocking my driveway (the apartment complex next to us has a lot of yardsales and for some reason, they seem to think parking illegally is a-ok - and the parking officers never come around our neighborhood). Unfortunately, they always leave before they get towed or ticketed. :-/
