Tat'dGreaser: Marriage is supposed to be about spending a lifetime together, not the perfect day and that's it.

ace in your face: Don't tell this to my cousin and her PSYCHO maid of honor. The bridesmaid dress has already been $150 and it is just a knee length cotton dress! And I am the only one who also has to pay to have it altered because my breasts were "distracting" in the style she chose. I can't help what my body is shaped like- And I didn't want that damn dress.

Then all the parties- There was the going away party when she moved out to be with the fiance before the wedding where the Maid of Honor demanded I "chip in" to the tune of about 50 bucks, then she wants us to chip in for a shower in HOTEL (even though my cousin has no female friends and I WON'T EVEN BE THERE!) for a budget that she feels will be about $400! This is for food , beer, wine, decorations etc. Why can't we have a regular shower at house in the afternoon like normal people? With just some light snacks and mimosas ? Its insane! I can't imagine what she wants us to spend on a bachelorette party. And she isn't even factoring in I have to fly across the country for this.


/Bride is not the problem- Maid of honor is. She is the person that is thousands of dollars in debt because she like Juicy couture purses.
//I wish the bridezilla thing would die. It would save me a ton of money.

AzErNy: I'd say "thank f*cking God" but this kind of behavior wouldn't be happening if the men marrying these women had any balls at all. You enable them and you have no room to biatch after the eventual divorce.

This. Guys: A tip...DO NOT let the women of your life control the relationship. They do not know how to handle it and will eventually screw it up. Take control from the beginning...sure there may be some battles at first, but fight those battles. Set the boundries early and everyone will be much happier.

AzErNy: buzzvert: Um, sure... instead of logically sharing power like adults, you recommend controlling the relationship? That just leads to the woman developing a complex, and then controlling the ever-loving shiat out of the kids, helicoptering the little brats into a state of complete submission and inability to make decisions for themselves. Ahhh, the circle of dysfunction.

Please take a moment and actually read what I wrote. Did I say control them? Nope. I said don't let them control the relationship. Many men say "Whatever makes you happy baby" and then they find themselves in a sitaution where they have lost all sense of who they are as a person and have become Subservient. May women think that this is what they want but in the long run they prefer a man who has his own thoughts and can stand up to her.
