That's great that you enjoyed it. I was just disappointed. But my expectations are usually much higher than maybe they should be. Have you ever seen Donnie Darko? That is another weird movie that I didn't enjoy but a lot of people did apparently. You may enjoy it. I have a friend who thinks it is the greatest.

Since this is where we can post anything, I really needed to post something this morning. As some of you know, my husbands Daughter is getting married on the 29th, this was a girl turning 18 in Oct, meeting a 21 year old, very cute guy and him proposing after only a few dates........
My husband has been having cardiac problems for a long time and has been using a new treatment everyday for 7 weeks at the Dr office ( I plan to post a video and more info for anyone that has cardiac problems about this new treatment later)
As we get closer to the date, he is getting more withdrawn, last night we went out for dinner and I said "Robert we need to talk about how you are handling all this when we get home". He just broke down crying, we left and at home he could not get out how he was feeling, just sooooo very sad. I think we are all feeling like there is a huge black cloud over us. We are leaving South Carolina on the 22nd and heading to Canada to spend my first Xmas home in 8 years, but that cloud is following it and I am trying to put it in the back of my mind until after we leave there and head to Monroe MI to get things ready.
Christmas is my favorite time of the year, I buy all my patients gifts and thank them for coming in that year for treatments. This year I have to hurry and get it all done this week, taking out some of the fun. Saturday the 15th is when I have every teacher that I treat come in for a spa treatment and they are given the works plus I send them home with a special gift. I always love this time but again I am letting the future cloud my present and I am working so hard at finding a way to disassociate the now time with what is ahead, just so I can enjoy things. BUT I will tell all of you that my greatest fear is that my husband is going to have a heart attack either before the wedding starts or walking her down the Ilse. It is sitting in my chest like a 50lb weight and after last night, seeing how upset he is, I think that weight just went to 100lbs.
Thank you, my forum family for letting me post here through tears of sadness and despair. I always can feel a little better when I get some of it typed down here.
Thank you for reading.

I feel for you..... a short story...(well it was supposed to be)

My Son Morgan met a girl when he was about 25
We initially liked her...and things "evolved" to the point that
he got a Toronto jeweller (thru family) to discount an engagement ring (still cost 5 grand)
Well very quickly we started to notice that all the stuff that "WE" were going to do ...was actually "I" am going to do..(her)

Like ("We're going to have this elaborate wedding at the Hyatt...and WE'RE going to come down the grand staircase)
She was country club single child...spoiled ...And Ronni & I knew it....
there were fights...but we couldn't tell Morgan anything. We're just common folks ourselves'

The wedding was a dog and pony show and she was "Bridezilla"

That was July '04...
In early '06 he was offered a corporate transfer to Australia...she didn't want to go...but eventually acquiesced. That lasted less than 6 months. In October 2006 she said it was all over...she was going home...after only 2 1/2 years.
When Morgan asked her why they ever got married in the first place she said"I never loved you..it was just to please my parents"

The wedding cost ME almost $10 grand and her country club father at least 25-30 more.....for what.???

After it was over we told Morgan what we had seen from our perspective...and he realized that when you think you are in love- sometimes it clouds your judgment. The divorce cost him another 45 grand in home equity and 401K stuff.

Bottom line...kids are going to make mistakes...but we have to step back and let them..........the same way we were allowed to make ours.

It isn't pretty...but it is necessary.

Ronni and I met and married after only 10 weeks. Her mother cried and her dad got drunk when we told them...but that was almost 37 years ago.

Will it work...yes...if both try...NO if they both don't.

The kids have a word for it...it is called "STARTER MARRIAGES"
you give it a shot and if it doesn't work...to bad...but you'll be better prepared the next time.

Luckily-in our case - there were no kids. Because he wanted kids and she was a spoiled only child who told us "IF we have kids ...WE'RE ONLY HAVING ONE!!!

Kim - I feel for you and Robert...but as hard as it is...you've got to step back and let them make a "GO" of it. There's going to be a lot of pain as you watch what is happening to his little girl....but YOU can't fix it.

Keep us posted on the outcome.....

Don't know if this helps or not...but robert has to step back...for his own health...he's no good to you or his daughter if he ends up in CCU

Ok little darlin it is tough love time with the hubby. I know that it is eating you and it will only get worse. Tell him to buck up, put on some clothes( like that) , face the reality and not worry over what might have been. The marriage is going to happen and no matter where your heart lies and his heart lies it is now the time to let it go. Just think later on when it falls apart then you will have your --I told you so---. ....Skip.... My GF just had the same thing happen with her grand daughter but they eloped....

Speaking as one who got married young (and dated the guy almost 3 years before getting married)...I assume you all have questioned his daughter. You can't outright say you think it's a terrible idea, but you can always gently ask her this is really what she wants? Is he really the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with? My parents tried to do that to me...deep down I knew the answer, but I just wrote it off as prewedding jitters. Who knows, she might back out at the last minute. On the other hand, maybe he really is the right one. All you can do is provide guidance and be there for her. I know now my parents thought I was making a terrible choice, but they were supportive through thick and thin. Do I wish I had never gotten married? Well it sure would have saved me a lot of grief, but I'm much better off for the experience. It happened and I'm not sure I'd be who I am today without that experience. And that's a good thing!

My Dad never says much as to how he's feeling or what he's thinking. But every now and then he'll say something and it really hits me hard. Cause when he does that, I know he's been suffering with it and I'm always lost as to what to do. Again all I can do is listen to him. Hard as it is, you can't predict the future as you don't know what will happen in the next few weeks. Do your best to enjoy the holidays as it's a beautiful time of year and deal with situations as they arise. And we're always here if you need to us!!

ChiliSky,

My son and my only child will be 31 next Wednesday, and he has never been married. 8 years ago he asked if he could move in with me on a temporary basis until he got his finances together after his room mates screwed him on paying their share of the bills. He is still living with me and really hasn't expressed any intent of leaving. Its not that much of a problem for me to give him this "free ride" because I don't spend too much time at home in this area, but I still wonder when he'll meet the right person and move on.
Your post made me wonder what I would have said if he had decided to get married at a young age, and I probably would have tried to talk him out of it. Now i'm thinking that if he had gotten married and it worked out I would have all my food to myself, the house wouldn't get half as messy, and the utility bills would be cheaper when I'm out of town.

Well I think what i'm trying to say is that life is a dynamic process and the constant changes always lead to new situations... some good, some bad but you never know what the end result will be. I think with children you try to raise them the best you can, you advise them based on your experience, you worry about them, but you never can predict fully where they will be down the road.

Stressing out over this marriage is warranted because you want the best for your child, but beyond a certain point, your worry will not change the future.

Darkwing , he don't live in the basement does he?...I was just thinking of that song by Brad Paisley and the video that was made from it....Skip...

[ihawk95]

Hey speaking of songs...anyone know who sings that "Tequila Makes her Clothes Come Off" song? I hadn't heard it before. Heard it last week and started laughing my arse off!!
