What is the 'right' thing to do?

Original post by Jamie&MarkSept.'05

A little background: my grandfather and I were super close...shared the same birthday, named after him, lived around the block from each other. When he passed away (7 years ago) I was devastated and actually joined a grief support group for awhile...I have been getting upset thinking about him not being at my wedding as the time gets closer and closer...

The Problem:

I recently found out my grandmother has started dating someone. I reacted positively to her when she told me, and I understand that she is probably lonely and this is good for her...but after I got off the phone with her I cried because I was so upset about the idea of her being with someone else, feeling like my grandfather has been replaced, etc. (I know he hasn't, but I can be emotional when it comes to him!)

So my Mom said Grandma wants to bring this new boyfriend to my wedding....my stomach immediately dropped...I feel like I don't really want him there because I am so upset about the fact that my grandfather can't be...

Thoughts, opinions?

P.S. My guest list is way over what it should be (by about 50) and I know it is only one other person, but I am just throwing this out there....

IF you ask a question be prepared to get responses...NOBODY WAS RUDE HERE...Not until someone got defensive



No one was rude here RedHead? You want me to start posting like you do? Well here it comes...let's see if you can handle it when it is you who is being attacked.

Last time I checked, calling someone selfish is not a 'polite' thing to do. Not that you would know anything about that from your history on these boards. You took a post that I was sincerely torn about, one in which I asked for people's opinions on the situation, not to make judgments about me and turned it into a fiasco.

Clearly you are the selfish one because you have no concern or respect for the feelings of others, for the feelings of someone who has lost a loved one. Maybe you never have...and you are lucky to not have experienced such pain in that case.

You have NO class...and I am going to get honest and real with you here. You are truly a PATHETIC individual. I have seen way too many posts on here where you come in and attack people and it is unneccessary.

I remember specifically, one post in which someone started a thread asking about the well-being of another poster who had been MIA...other posters chimed in, expressing their concern. You post and rip everyone apart, saying they are not really concerned and then proceed to talk about a website you are aware of (and most likely a part of) that is designed to specifically make fun of people on this site.

Now, how pathetic is that? I have a very full life. I work full time, I am planning my wedding, I have a lot of family and friends. I love LIWeddings because it is a great resource. However, I do not have that much time to post because unlike you, I have a very full outside life.

If you have enough time to post here all the time with your nasty comments and additionally make time to go out of your way and 'make fun' of people on here in another forum, then maybe you need to re-evaluate yourself and your life.

Aren't you a newlywed? Why don't you spend some more time with your husband? Perhaps you need to research some hobbies.

Going on a web forum and attacking people you don't know is truly pathetic, especially when they are dealing with sensitive and painful issues.

GET A LIFE REDHEAD!!!! You are one pathetic, sad individual. I pity you.



now who looks like the LOSER....

I spend PLENTY of time with my husband...

ANd i do not go outof my way to make fun of ANYBODY...
SHOW ME WHERE THAT IS...
You want to talk about me...SHOW ME WHERE I DO THAT?

AGAIN I WAS NOT RUDE TO YOU NOR DID MY FIRST POST CALL YOUSELFISH...IN FACT SOMEONE WHO AGREED WITH YOU CALLED THE ACT SELFISH...DIDN'T SEE ANYONE YELL AT HER....CONVENIENTLY

AND I DIDN'T ATTACK YOU...GROW UP OR YOU NEED TO RE-EVALUATE YOURSELF...

BECAUSE IF YOU THINK THAT IS AN ATTACK YOU ARE AN IDIOT...

AND I DO KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO DEAL WITH THIS...
MY PARENTS DIVORCED MY MOTHER EVENTUALLY HAD A BOYFRIEND...I DIDN'T LIKE IT BUT I WAS 16! I WAS A KID..IT WAS TIME TO GROW UP AND LET THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER IN OUR LIVES BE HAPPY..

NOW STOP BEING A SELFISH KID AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT...

I NEVER WAS RUDE NOR MEAN NOR DID I TEAR SOMEONE DOWN

YOU OBVIOSULY GET DEFENSIVE WHEN PEOPLE TELLYOU THE TRUTH....

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING BUT SYMPATHY DO NOT ASK FOR OPINIONS!

Before you start accusing people of things..you better be prepared to back it up.

Hey, ladies. This thread has really gotten off topic and heated. Perhaps everyone should take a step back for bit.

People don't see eye-to-eye. Why don't we leave it at that?
