Thank you so much. That is the best way I've seen it put into words, I've tried to go to a couple therapists in the past but I haven't felt comfortable with them and my family said I was being too picky. I know I'm extremely lucky to have the option in the first place but I don't want to waste my family's money if it wasn't helping me. Thank you so much and I'm sorry for what you went through. <3

So my ex was three years older than me at the time. I tried to take legal action but the authorities in my area (a small town) are family friends with the police and they refused to listen to me and outright ignored all my physical injuries and pictures and texts of proof. My family already didn't support me going to the police so after that attempt they said that I couldn't anymore. My ex later moved out of state so I'm not sure where he ended up. Thank you though!!

I don‘t know if you‘re looking for suggestions and I don‘t know a lot about weddings, but I was at my second one last year and it was fancy and so was the food. But there was a Buffet at 10 or 11 pm and it was the best thing ever, right when everyone gets slightly hungry again we could strengthen ourselves for all the dancing. Maybe there‘s a more casual food that means something to your relationship that you could offer as this after dinner snack (eg like hire a pizzatruck) so nobody leaves hungry. It may even loosen up the atmosphere if some people are unsatisfied with the haute cuisine. Alternatively you could not care about these people and enjoy your day as you please (but I strongly suggest the late night snack/buffet either way, it was a huge hit!) Have a nice wedding!

I get that you want to serve fine food but is this at least a sit down service? My sister in law did something like this but it was buffet style and no one understood that what was out was it for the food. They had 100 guests and ran out of food after the first 25 guests went to the buffet. Their wedding was beautiful but 75 people were there for 5 hours with no food (and just alcohol).

I'm not treating him any differently aside from not showering with him. I'm not taking any emotions out on him it was moreso his words catching me off guard like I explained. I am not punishing him I'm just saying I didn't know how to get it to stop bothering me. Please read a little more before assuming I'm being emotionally abusive to my boyfriend. Thank you

Just remember, we all have scars, some are visible, most are not. Your boyfriend seems genuine & supportive, from what you shared, he loves all of you, the visible & invisible scars, who knows, he may have some too. Professional therapy would be a good start for you and include him, let him be a part of your healing process. I hope the best for both of you!
