Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yesterday was the 15 year anniversary of my wedding. I filed for divorce in 2003. I married the person my parents wanted me to marry at the age that seemed to make them comfortable. My nada REFUSED to help with my wedding " I don't DO weddings. " My ex mil nada did most of it. I was only 21, so I knew not what I was in for. MIL ended up being an even bigger bitch than my own nada. At my wedding reception, i made sure I didn't turn my back on her, because I had a strong feeling that she would bash my head in with a brick. I watched her and everywhere she went, I went to the furthest possible area away from her. And then my new husband became furious because I sobbed my whole wedding night and honeymoon (exMIL chose the location for the honeymoon. She asked where I wanted to go and then booked someplace totally different w/o even asking). Yes, i knew that I had made a mistake immediately after, or maybe during the ceremony. So proud that I filed for divorce. My parents don't beleive in divorce and that was the end, my friends, the end . . . and in so many ways the beginning. I think I've done more in the last 15 years than my nada has done in her 66 years. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 So good for you! It is so tragic that it has to be so difficult to simply listen to ourselves and to do what makes US HAPPY! I am finally doing things to make me happy and it is fabulous! Thanks, Amy On Aug 25, 2011, at 8:34 AM, Girlscout Cowboy wrote: > Yesterday was the 15 year anniversary of my wedding.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 You were so young, but I can see you learned so much from that marriage. I'm so proud of you! Your courage to not do what everyone expected of you is inspiring, GS. > > Yesterday was the 15 year anniversary of my wedding.
