Same boat as you @wandajune6 I am so sorry, internet hugs!

My friend recently got engaged over the holidays. I was thrilled and congratulated her but she has been doing this annoying thing by showing off her ring to everybody. She tells them the diamond size, the jeweler, etc. I am this close to screaming. She points the ring in my face and is like "OMG look at my ring....it's SO huge, why didn't you get one THIS size..." I added her on my phone block and hid her stuff from my profile. I wish she would just zip it.

I tried to get FI to "accidentally" forget to invite his douche cousins who "forget" my name after seeing me several times a year for 10 years. He is worried it would cause too much drama and he thinks I should just get over it. I think I might still accidentally lose it in the mail and not tell him. (Burn it)

So, somehow, my brain combined these two posts together, and I read "my friend accidentally got engaged over the holidays".

I did the same thing with gifts for BIL/gf. Every year we all do a group gift exchange, except they never give anyone anything. The usual comment is due to being unable to afford to. That's fine...except they still expect gifts. BIL complained in front of me the one year that he hadn't been given anything good that year. It was the first year we lived out of school across the country - I had been working a shit job for a month and was proud that I managed to still give (small) gifts to everyone. 4 years later and I still remember that comment.

So this year I mentioned on Thanksgiving about the gift exchange - did they want to participate this year, if not that's totally fine, etc. GF said yes they would, offered some ideas for everyone else that she had and asked my opinion on specifics for everyone else. She had done the same with other BIL's gf, so we believed that this year would be different. But surprise surprise, mid opening presents there was a comment that "oh sorry I couldn't afford to give everyone stuff this year." Again, that would be fine, but saying you want to participate and then having 4 other people give you gifts with nothing to offer... it just rubbed me the wrong way. Get me a card and some chocolate and hell, I'm as happy as a clam.

The next day she was bragging about how she has a few extra hundred dollars this month from extra work and she went and bought herself a ton of stuff with all the sales that are on. Gifts aren't tit for tat, but I'm glad I kept back some of the other presents I had for them just in case. BIL did actually buy me something, but it didn't come in on time for Christmas, so I'm still waiting to see what it is.

I have too many things to confess.
I did not get any of my siblings anything this year. I too, am tired of not receiving anything in return, not even acknowledgement or a thank you. I wasn't going to do anything for BILs family this year especially, but the day I made that decision SIL texted H wanting to know what our Christmas lists were.

H and I purposefully did not spend a lot or even the same amount on his mother and her new FI that we did my parents because we are both angry and hurt about certain things that have gone down in the last couple weeks. We actually gave them that restaurant giftcard we got as one of our wedding gifts from the BSC coworker.

I cutoff all communication with my parents yesterday. All because of my mother and her stupid mouth. I'm going to miss my dog and my dad. But they are a package deal and the damage she's caused has outweighed the good. I cried about it all day yesterday and have been sneaking off to the bathroom while at work today to cry about it. I'm an unfocused puffy mess.

Even more hugs for you. I'm sorry

Yay for the Doubt gif @ashley8918

My confession is that there is this guy who screamed and cursed at me who is a friend of my mom's, who made us both cry that day and who I've been attempting to avoid him, and I have a Christmas present for him. It is an album from a band he likes and he love vinyl stuff. I am reveling in imagining him being all "This is great. Oh my gosh I am such an asshole, she's so nice." sort of thing.

loveislouder · December 2014

My confession: I think I like my first cat more than my new cat. New cat keeps biting me and drawing blood.

porkchops926 · December 2014

I am so with @thisismynickname

I love my FI in so many ways but he likes to constantly be together. We have a great time together and like to do the same things but god, sometimes a girl needs her alone time. I'm a little bit secretly happy that he's back at work now so I can Knot in peace and watch trash TV.

beethery · December 2014

New confession: Tomorrow or Wednesday it is going to be all I can do not to knock one of FI's coworker's teeth so far down his throat that he'd be picking them out of his ass the next morning.

Motherfucker has a cat that he won't get fixed. Cat had kittens in September. Told all the dudes on Thursday he was considering just dropping them off at the abandoned barn in the next town and hoping a bigger animal comes through and gets rid of them.

FI told me this, I, in turn, became a frothing rage tornado and called my mom. She and I will be getting in touch with local established shelters (like the one both our families have donated to and everyone we know has adopted from for YEARS AND YEARS) tomorrow. FI and I will then be going to pick the kitties up and we will bring them to the shelter.

I am going to recommend to this fucking rancid TAINT that he get his cat fixed so that there will be no future kittens. I am going to wish, wishwishwish, that I could get HIM fixed. With a red hot poker. Possibly in his brain.

jenna8984 · December 2014

@beethery omfg. I'm speechless at that.

jenna8984 · December 2014

@paperpusher @wandajune6 I'm sorry for both of you

jdluvr06 · December 2014

@beethery that is infuriating! I'm so glad you are going to the kittens. The fucker doesn't deserve to have pets at all if this is how he acts. Please knock his teeth in.

jdluvr06 · December 2014

My confession is a little silly compared to everyone else's. Lol. So my brain has been very foggy the past few days and I accidentally wore my slippers to work today. They were the boot slippers with rubber soles but still.

jenna8984 said:

I thought he was a shitdick before I heard that, but this just takes the damn cake. He came into work the other day and told their crew (who EVERY GUY ON THE CREW HAS AT LEAST ONE CAT) that he has kittens that need homes. Every one of them told him they already have cats and told him he ought to take them to a shelter or something. So, I'm guessing as really stupid machismo thing, he said he was going to drop them off at the abandoned barn so that something bigger might get them. Nobody was impressed.

FI just texted him a little while ago and asked if he still had the kittens. Taint said he had 3 left (in-laws took 2). FI said we'd be up to get them tomorrow or Wednesday and that we'd be getting them homes. I gotta call Manchester Animal Shelter tomorrow. I think they've got room right now, so that's good.

levioosa · December 2014

@beethery, near where I live, one of the cities provides free fixing for strays at the shelter. Is that an option around you?

My confession is that I am livid at one of my BFFs. She didn't sign the marriage license at her wedding or send it in afterwards. So she isn't actually married. So all of the stress this past year (somehow even with graduating and my family drama and applying to grad school it was still the most stressful event of my year) and the money I spent on her wedding was for nothing. So. pissed.

@paperpusher I am so sorry. *Hugs*

The kitties are 4 months old and the shelter does a lot of fix clinics, so they'll likely get fixed ASAP or give a voucher for fixing to whomever adopts them.

KytchynWitche · December 2014

We only invited one of DH's university buddies to the wedding. We'll call him Sam. The other day, Sam was talking to one of DH's other uni-buds (we'll call him Mike), and Mike got seriously butt-hurt over the fact that Sam was at the wedding and he (Mike) wasn't.

Sam has been an awesome friend to us both. He has made an effort to see us whenever we're in town, he keeps in touch with DH. He has thrown freelance work to both of us any time he's been able to, AND he scored us press-passes to the big gaming expo a couple years back, just because he could. He's an awesome guy, and when he asks how we're doing and what we've been up to, it feels like he actually really does give a shit, not like he's just asking because it's what you do.

In the 3 years that DH and I have been together, we've seen Mike twice. He never messages or calls DH, he never tries to see us when we're in town, and when DH speaks to him the conversations are very "I'm reading from a script". I get the distinct impression that Mike only wanted to be at the wedding because free food. Except he would have had to take (at least) a day off work because the wedding was on a Friday morning, and he would have had to drive 4+ hours either way to attend, so not really free food.

Anyway, my confession: zero fucks were given in the Witchey household about Mike's feelings.

Chipmunk415 · December 2014

Confession 1: told dh I got colleagues to eat the 6 remaining pieces of fudge. In reality two peopke had fudge and the rest disappeared into my mouth. Its cookie butter fudge damnit and it was tasty.

Confession 2: I deliberately posted a photo of dh and my mom with a comment about her mothering him over Christmas on Facebook. This was in response to 1) my bitch of a smil posting a christmas photo of dead bil where she cropped out my husband (couldnt cut out his knee without removing part of image of bil) with a comment about missing bil and implying bil was the only kid that mattered 2) fil not calling or answering when we tried calling him on Christmas and 3) bitchy smil posting another photo and comment about how hard this Christmas was and how "true family" helped her and fil get through it. Im quietly at defcon 2 over this passive aggressive bullshit and dh is very hurt that he's made efforts to try and repair the relationship with his dad only to be essentially rejected by him on Christmas. Since posting photo of mom and dh hugging, smil has kept her damn fb mouth shut. Sorrynotsorry

jenna8984 · December 2014

@levioosa Why the fuck would she do that?!

ShellD13 · December 2014

My confession is I'm really irritated with one of my BFF's. She's married with lots of kids and as a family they have always struggled financially. I am also godmother to one of their kids. I love them dearly so earlier this year when she put out a plea for school books for my godchild so that they could do an internet home school program (faith based). I bought every book on the list that wasn't freely available in the library and even some that were. It was EXPENSIVE. Less than a month later, the kids were on FB with a GoFundMe plea because they were several months behind on bills and were in danger of losing internet. Two months later, godchild is being reintegrated into public school cause they can't afford internet. Yet on Black Friday who was on FB crowing about the brand new BIG TV they scored? Arrrgggghhhh!

Otherwise I'm with @thisismynickname and @porkchops926 - I love H but I was single/lived alone for nearly 16 years before we moved in together. I truly do enjoy sharing my life with H but there are sometimes I just miss my alone time. I do have an occasional out though because he has two children from his previous marriage and I have been fairly successful in reminding him that the kids need one on one time with just Dad.

jenna8984 · December 2014

Dammit, every time I see this thread I get the Usher song "confessions" stuck in my head.

charcoalandblush · December 2014

#1: I have done basically zero work this week. I did like 4 hours yesterday. I've been at work for almost 2 hours and have done literally no work today. After a week off, it's just so hard to get back into things. And I have SO FREAKING MUCH TO DO.

#2: I am seriously dreading FSIL's wedding. I'm her "personal attendant" and it sounds like the actual worst.

theycallmelinz · December 2014

I haven't done it yet but I really want to just not send an invitation to members of FI's family who won't give us their addresses. We've asked for the addresses and they haven't responded, so I really don't want to ask them again. I didn't wanna invite all those fuckers anyway, especially if they can't be bothered to respond to us.

Clearly I'm grouchy again today.

@charcoalandblush what is a personal attendant? That sounds awful. I need more details on what this is and how it came to be!

Wedding Bitch. Can you fix the aisle runner? Can you call this vendor? Can you hand me my coffee? Can you find out where my grandmother is? Everything that a paid coordinator should do but some regions decided it was an "honor" to help the bride.

charcoalandblush · December 2014

theycallmelinz I'm not 100% sure, because I've never been one before. But my basic understanding is that you're the bride's wedding servant. The whole day, you get the bride whatever she needs, keep the schedule running on time, make sure she gets all the photos on her shot list, hold her purse all night, field questions/problems from the guests and wedding party, that kind of thing.

Fuuuuuuuck that shit. How the hell did she approach you to ask you to do that???

levioosa · December 2014

@jenna8984 I guess they forgot to do it at first, and then when they realized it they used the excuse that since he had bad credit it was easier not to get married. I'm just over here like FFS, you're supposed to be adults. So make adult decisions and deal with the consequences of your actions.

Peaseblossom55 · December 2014

@ashley8918 love the Doubt gif I open with that show next week.

I'm in a crappy mood about so many things I just want to crawl under covers and read. I don't even want to do anything for NYE tomorrow, we're supposed to go to a friend's house for a party but a) only 1 person rsvp'd yes to going via fb invite and we don't know them & b) I like the husband but I find the wife and her friends annoying most of the time.

FiancB · December 2014

I didn't get anybody anything for Christmas this year. I just don't care anymore. I'd rather people didn't get me anything either as it makes me feel bad. Siblings must be picking up on this trend as one sent a card and the other sent a bag of treats from Trader Joe's. A-ok by me. I would've gotten something for H but he told me not to as he has been dropping money on himself for this and that like mad lately. We decided we'll care a lot more about Christmas when we have kids but for now it's just a pain in the ass.

I confess I hope the winters here continue to suck unusually bad to make it easier to convince H we should move to the west coast, back to where I'm from. On that note, I confess I miss my friends and the place itself way more than my family.

One thing led to another and H and I got super drunk last night and I think H may have gotten sick wooooops

charcoalandblush · December 2014

She legit just asked, like she was asking me to be her bridesmaid. I said yes because I had no clue what the hell it meant. Then went home and googled it. DF still doesn't understand why I feel a little offended/hurt. Apparently it's super common here and it's a "honor" because according to DBF "It's usually the bride's closest friend." Umm, no, the bride's closest friend is usually the maid/matron of honor.

Yeah, that's some BS right there. She wants you to be her personal slave for the day. That's not an honor. Is there any way you can back out?

Today's confession - My assistant called in sick again and I'm starting to get really pissed at all of her absences.

Also, our senior manager dinner was supposed to be tonight and it was canceled. And I'm so freaking happy!
