During national tragedies like this we must, of course, turn to Black Twitter for comfort.
I forget what Stella’s previous management credentials were but she seems to be terrible at “managing” or whatever her job is supposed to be. According to the MC teevee show, her main duty is to blow bubbles, flatter and verbally reassure MC of her never-ending love. The rest of the tour production is secondary.
that whole show was scheduled down to the second and they had a reallllllllll hard out at 11:58
After her anxiety dream New Year’s Eve performance, Mariah Carey said, “Shit happens.” Now she supposedly thinks, “Shit happens when everyone’s out to get you.”
Rosie is correct Trump is mentally ill, you don’t even need Dr. Phil to prove it.
I agree with your first paragraph. In the vast majority of “normal” cars, even fast ones, if you slip and hit the gas not a lot happens between the car revving up and you realizing you goofed. And in slower “normal” cars, you can nearly mash the throttle, release it, and hit the brakes before youve moved 5 feet or…
That’s what I don’t get. He seems to be vain as hell, but NOTHING about him would indicate that. His hair is a joke, his skin is unnatural, he’s overweight, and he wears terrible-fitting clothes. Or do NPDs also have a kind of body dysmorphia where they look in the mirror and see hotness where there is none?
Hold the fuck on, it isn’t standard procedure for the show to book hotel space for the various performers to get hair and makeup done and wait indoors until showtime? It’s not like you can get to Times Square after about 3pm. This smells of catty bullshit.
“Why do people like her?”
I know you’re trying to make me feel sorry for her, but she has a huge ego and this should’ve been prepared better, so whoops for feeling schadenfreude 😉
If he resents you for not allowing someone to repeatedly insult you and hurt you, I would seriously consider couples therapy before the wedding and likely individual therapy too. He’s likely got some unlearning to do and you will need support in holding firm boundaries.
My MIL is a horrible person and mentally unstable. My husband can’t bring himself to cut her off, and that is his decision to make. We do, however, minimize contact with her.
In simple terms, I suspect it’s because there are a lot of folks with exploitative personality disorders out there (NPD, BPD, etc) who, precisely because of their illness, refuse any kind of psychotherapy —so their caretakers/partners/family wind up in therapy instead.
Be done.
Yes this is a tough one. You will forever be seen as the one who made him choose between you and his family, if they don’t all show up.
Wow, she sounds genuinely awful. Honestly, there’s nothing you can do to change someone like her. It’s amazing your husband is able to see the situation for what it is and be okay with cutting his mother out of the wedding. You can only hope his family has the same view of her and decides that your husband and you are…
Omg, what a fucking mess. I’m glad you and the fiancé are on the same page however. Here’s my take:
Yes: Be Done.
I’m down in the greys, and lurk here often, but I thought I’d see what people here think of my current situation and can offer any advice.
