feeling happy :)) yet bad :((

2 minute read time.

feel so happy - my best friend shaz is getting married next april and i am maid of honour 

im so happy for her and so jealous at the same time   :( im a bad friend :(

i was supposed to be getting married next year - its our 25 th anniversary in july and i finally got wayne to agree to marry me after years of asking and him refusing -we even went out and bought the wedding rings -waynes idea - now theyre sat in a drawer gathering dust

you see ive called it off it didnt bother me when he agreed to marry me saying he didnt believe in it but if he had to get married hed marry me - dont do me no favours !!lol

even when he said arrange it all - dont tell me how much it costs ill just turn up on the day - it didnt bother me 

it was his face when he was told hed have to have an interview at the town hall registry office -he said if they asked him why we were getting married he wouldnt lie hed say he didnt want too he was doing it for me !!

that did it for me how can i get married to someone who truly doesnt want to be there

dont get me wrong i know he loves me we met when we were 17 and have got two kids and bought a house together and been through a lot of bad times together - as wayne says thats committment so why do i need to get married???

because its something ive always dreamed of you big idiot !! i think all us girls do ......big white dress .....being centre of attention......

i really thought we were going to do it but i cant - call it stubbornness or cutting of my nose to spite my face as my mum would say but that was the final straw i cant do it as much as i want to .....it wouldnt seem real knowing he doesnt want to be there

suppose ill be an old maid ... always the bridesmaid never the bride.....

right thats my rant everything off my chest... this is the only place i can say it ...so im going to pull myself together ...put a massive smile on my face and be there for my best friend and look.forward to her wedding :))

    I can understand you not wanting to as he says 'he's only doing it for you'. That's not a good reason for a man to get married he must really want to and believe in it too. I hear stories; of those who marry because they think they have to and it doesn't last. So don't marry, if you dont' want to now.  It's your life not his and the commitment has to feel right for both of you.

    I do wonder why you have found your way to the MacMillan site where most people are either facing cancer, or are caring for someone with it or are now bereaved.  Hope you find help here for whatever reason.

    All the best,
