You are disrespecting yourself by accepting anything less than what you deserve. You recognize that you deserve better, hence this post. Start valuing yourself and this decision gets VERY easy VERY quickly.

Guess it depends on situation, we haven't exchanged gifts for over 25 years on Hallmark holidays. If she "demanded" flowers on V day we'd never have been together...I get gifts and flowers when I'm thinking about her, not when ignored women feel they need attn. day.

ie I celebrate my wife everyday

and yes if unhappy leave, its not going to get better, just worse.

Nope, its a band aid. And like a band aid you rip it off.

Its not really just confidence, its comfort with being "alone." You have to be perfectly fine with "just" friends and family in your life and no relationship, then you are in the right place to only accept someone who enhances your life.

Ive seen too many people treat relationships like a drug, where they NEED it. They either can only leave one relationship if they have another lined up (cheating/branch swinging) or the moment one ends for any reason they are immediately on the hunt for another (and they always end up settling).

And its also a good red flag to notice from the other side too, if someone NEEDS you its going to be trouble. If they WANT you then youre better off.

Thanks y'all! Everything was great. Long wedding - a lot of the bridal party showed up Wednesday the 19th. Golf & drinks for myself allday with the groomsmen, spa & drinks for the wife. Thursday we checked into the resort, luckily just 40 mins away, where we held the wedding. All of the bridal party and majority of guests were there at that point (we had about 150 show up). Friday morning was rehearsal followed by rehearsal brunch in downtown Charleston (we rented a vintage bus for 50 of us which was a blast!). Got back to the resort around 2 and hit the beach & beach bar until 8. From 8-10pm we hosted a welcome party for the guests. Saturday was a busy day. Started getting ready at 10am, girls were starting at 8am. Photographer for both of us showed up at noon and we knocked that out. First look at 1pm, bridal party photos at 2pm, ceremony at 3:30pm, then reception until 10pm. It was a long exhausting day, but we had an absolute blast. Everything was outdoor and the weather was perfect, around 84 with a breeze. Luckily the reception was relatively shaded, ceremony was a little warm so that is what it is. We stayed at the resort all Sunday just hanging out with family and friends.

Monday we took off to Costa Rica which was an absolute blast. Monday-Friday at a private residence in Tamarindo at which we drove to a bunch of the local beaches and enjoyed some fantastic food. Friday-Tuesday at a all inclusive resort up in Playa Flamingo. Got back into Charleston and home around 11:30pm - minor hicup as our bags did not make the transition onto our flight from Miami to Charleston. With that said I just received update that they have arrived at the airport.

I'll try to get some pics together but I don't want to fill up the thread too much!

Congrats on the wedding, sounds like a good time.

I'm in a similar boat as you in that I'm starting to really feel the effects of her shitty parents on her. I don't really know what to do about it - I'm teetering between feeling bad because she's fried and feeling frustrated because it's affecting me...

It's not even like I'm on a mission to "save her" or anything but it just doesn't feel right to break up with someone over their bad parenting, but doesn't feel right to continue feeling like this about myself in this relationship.

You've got to act on it. Talk it through with her, see if anything can be done etc. Don't just wait and pretend it'll go away on its own.... spoiler; it won't!

YMMV
