“On our wedding day, one of his female friends turned up in hot pants, a crop top, and a necklace saying my husband’s name. Then, she got extremely drunk and said to all of my family that my husband was her third favorite man after her dad and her brother (this was in front of her own husband) and that I didn’t deserve him.
After I told him how awful this made me feel, my husband didn’t tell her to stop, but instead said how sweet it was and how grateful he was to have her in his life.” We recently asked people from the BuzzFeed Community who have been divorced to tell us the signs on their wedding day that their marriage wouldn’t last. Here are the surprising — and heartbreaking — results:
1. “I knew I was doing the wrong thing when I was offered money to not marry him, and I’d considered taking it. I remember walking to the church for the ceremony and asking myself what I was doing. I was a woman who didn’t want to hurt feelings, so I went through with it.” “A year and a half later, we divorced, and I learned to tell people how I really feel.”
2. “Our wedding pastor referred to me by another woman’s name during our vow ceremony. Turns out, he had a secret family complete with another child for the entire 17 years of marriage. I left on a Friday night with nothing more than the clothes on my back, and the other woman was sleeping in my bed on my side by Monday. I never looked back.”
3. “We had been together for four years when I proposed, and we scheduled our wedding for our five-year anniversary. That year of engagement was really rough, and I asked her time and again to talk to me, to see a therapist to work through these communication issues, but she refused. We got married at 7 p.m. on a weekday, and I woke up that day and went to work, just like normal. The entire day, I kept thinking what a mistake; she never took anything I was concerned about serious. This will not last.”
“After work, I spent the entire afternoon dreading the evening to come. Went through with it anyway. We didn’t make it four years before she cheated.”
