That girl was nice to me today saying please and thank you. And i'm not a bitch but, I would never become friend's with this woman though... she seems like a toxic person
Well, fancy her being nice all of a sudden! Perhaps her hormones were playing up?

Yes, do stay cautious of her, at least you know what she is like now. It sounds like she has a sudden guilt trip and is maybe worried she might get into trouble.

send me a piece
If you lived closer to me in Old England' I would. In fact, you would be round my place helping me drink that fizzy plonk that made my head spin a bit last night! I forgot you can't drink while taking meds. :rolleyes:

Hey everyone. Just popping here quickly.

I have been busy with work and I lost my computer a while back, but it has been repaired so I can swing by a bit more often now. I am happy to see the close bonds and positive vibes of this place with everybody genuinely caring and supporting each other.

Keep it up, you all rock!
It really is a great place to be on the net @Kaynil I come on here almost every day, I love it. Just to check in and have a chat with friends who feel like family makes me feel nice!

Happy belated birthday @janemariesayed , sorry I missed it! Hope you had a great day! :D
Thank you so much Lukas, I am still celebrating as well! I'm seeing my mum next week for a birthday lunch and an old friend in the next few days for a birthday drink. I didn't do muych on the day, but I did eat loads of cake and plonk and I was happy to be with my dogs.

Have I asked you when is it you are getting married and what kind of ceremony are you going to have? I love weddings. It is just so meaningful when two people declare their love for each other and make promises in front of witnesses. Have you sorted out your attire yet?

I'm so glad you had a good birthday! :) I hope the rest of the celebrations go well! :)

We're getting married on Thanksgiving actually, my family doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving because we're from Poland and it's an American holiday. It probably seems like a pretty random day to get married lol but we picked it because it's a significant date here.
It's going to be a small ceremony with just friends and family, and I'm going to wear a white suit and my fiance is going to wear something more traditional.

At the moment I'm kind of upset because my friend pointed out that my fiance may be a narcissist :( This is like the worst time ever for something like that to come up. I made a separate thread about it because I'm really anxious. :(

Oh lord. I went through stuff like this before I got married. Let me ask you this. Does your fiance make you feel bad about yourself to make himself feel better... I think not. I don't know your fiance but, from what I hear he seems like a good guy. One thing you must realize, there are going to be people in your life that's going to try to put some type of doubt in your mind before the big day. When I was a child ... I had a narcissistic father and believe me. .. if your fiance was a narcissist. .. you'd know it. One thing that has stuck out from what you have told us about your fiance is the fact that he was so protective when you were at emergency room. This man loves you. And a narcissist. .... only loves himself. Don't let people put doubt in your mind... he sounds like he 's the one.

I have been quite busy myself as well lately.
My partner and I just moved into our first own flat, two weeks ago. Last week we were on holiday in Valencia (booked it before we knew that we would move)
Now we have come back to a half finished flat. We need to finish unpacking and get used to just being us together and find an equilibrium.
It does not feel like home yet, but I hope it will come soon.

Well guys that's what's going on at the moment.
All a bit much but yea...

I don't mean to be nasty about your friend but it isn't very nice what she has said. As a friend, she should be there for you if you need her, but it seems to me that she has said this to throw a spanner in the works. Her actions could actually be taken as narcissistic! It is a cruel thing to say when you are about to marry. Surely you know your fiance, and you can live with him very well whatever it is that he is like. Your friend has made comments that have made you become judgemental of your fiance. Why on earth would she point out his bad points other than to coax you away from this marriage?

You are an adult @_Lukas and I am sure that you know both your mind and your heart. Loving someone is putting up with the good and the bad, and his egotism isn't really that bad is it? He doesn't sound overly selfish because of his fierce loyalty towards you. He loves you and that is what matters at the end of the day, and of course how you get on together.

I hope you try to dismiss what your friend has said and tell her not to speak that way of your nearest and dearest again. Don't be anxious and look forward to your wedding and all the wonderful times you will share afterwards with your lives together.

Your wedding sounds beautiful, I hope you get lots of photos. What a nice day to get married. A special day to mark a special occasion. I wish you both all the luck in the world for a very happy future together.

Thank you for your kind words, and you are very right that my friend is the one who's in the wrong here.
Sure, my fiance is kinda full of himself, but he's not a bad person and he means well. He isn't selfish and he does love me, and I love him.
I'll tell her not to talk about him like that anymore!

I'll definitely share some wedding photos! :) I hope it goes well, I'm nervous but I'm also so excited!

Wise words, thank you for that. After I freaked out for a bit and got some advice I realized he's not a true narcissist. I'm sorry you had to deal with your father being like that, that must have been awful :(
I hope things are going better for you!

That sounds like a really nice day :) I'm glad you got to be outside and spend some time with your neighbor and the cats :)

When you first met your fiance, you may well have noticed these points about his character. The thing is, maybe you found those things attractive in him? Maybe, his 'out of himself' personality made you feel alive. He actually sounds like a great guy.

Maybe your friend needs a bit of reassurance that you will still be her friend after you marry. Perhaps she is feeling insecure and fears to lose your friendship.

I'll look forward to some photos and good luck with the planning!

You lovely lady Carol. That is so nice of you to do that charitable act at Christmas. God will surely bless you for that!

How are you by the way?

I'm glad you are well @XmasCarol52 and that you have been able to sit outside for a while. When we don't feel like going out because of agoraphobia, having a quiet place to sit outside can be a Godsend!
