Reddit Stories: Military Deployment, Wedding Drama, and Proposal Disappointment

Story 1: Military Deployment and Home Neglect

• 😠 OP reacted with anger, calling his wife a slob and demanding she clean the house within a week, threatening divorce.
• 💔 His wife claimed she was overwhelmed, but OP questioned her inability to perform basic cleaning tasks without children or excessive work responsibilities.
• 💬 Reddit commenters largely suggested the wife might be experiencing mental health issues like depression or hoarding tendencies, advising OP to seek professional help for her.
• 🛠️ In an update, OP cleaned the most egregious areas himself, finding the task surprisingly quick, and his wife expressed remorse but also defensiveness about discarded items.

Story 2: Wedding Day Conflict and Pregnancy Announcement

• 👰 OP refused to allow her pregnant sister to announce her pregnancy at OP's wedding, citing a past refusal from the sister to accommodate OP's request at her own wedding.
• 🙅‍♀️ The sister's request to announce her pregnancy was seen as an attempt to steal the spotlight on OP's special day.
• 🗣️ OP's mother and sister became upset and gave OP the silent treatment before the wedding.
• 🚫 In an update, OP enforced her boundary, telling her sister and mother that they would be cut off if they proceeded with the announcement.
• 🚶‍♀️ When the sister and mother attempted the announcement anyway, OP followed through, asking them to leave the wedding, and has since gone no contact.

Story 3: Disappointing Proposal and Ring Choice

• 💍 OP is upset with her fiancé's proposal, which occurred naked in bed after sex, contrasting sharply with a romantic and expensive proposal he gave his ex.
• 😔 She feels humiliated and like a "sex object" due to the proposal's timing and lack of romance, especially since they have a toddler and she feels bad about having a child before marriage.
• 💍 OP desired a meaningful and romantic proposal, not necessarily expensive, but her fiancé dismissed her feelings, called her ungrateful, and claimed men aren't into marriage.
• 💍 He offered to buy her the ring she wants but refused to redo the proposal, stating it was too much work.
• 🤔 OP suspects her fiancé may still be in love with his ex and questions his commitment, considering ending the relationship.
