My MIL was late for our wedding, and then waltzed in wearing a bridal white dress. I ignored it, but a lot of people were mortified on my behalf.

When I was 21, an acquaintance SA’d me at a party. I was very close friends with his best friend, and when I told my friend what happened, he said, “He’s my best friend. Don’t slander him because you were drunk.” It was devastating.

I was actually the cringy dumper once. In high school, I was dating a great guy that just wasn’t a good fit, but I was too much of a wimp to dump him. So, I did the 90s version of ghosting, and stopped answering my phone. I started dating a new guy without ever officially dumping… Read More

The one and only year we visited my in laws in FL for Christmas, we stayed with my SIL (who I adore, and is wonderful). Christmas morning, we’re all opening gifts, and having a lovely morning and the phone rings. It’s my SIL’s in laws: Surprise! They were at the airport! My BIL had… Read More

My late FIL married wife number 3 on a cruise right after Thanksgiving, so my husband and kids and I were at a hotel on Thanksgiving that year preparing to get on the boat for the wedding the next day. My FIL’s soon to be wife told us they weren’t celebrating Thanksgiving because… Read More
