I didn’t not invite my mother to my wedding because she did not treat me well- Man
A newly married man recently shared on Reddit why he chose to exclude his mother from his wedding guest list and his wedding day altogether.
According to his post, his decision stems from a strained relationship that began when he was just eight years old. At that time, his mother divorced his father and quickly remarried a man named Dave, who already had two children from a previous marriage.
After the remarriage, the man explained that his mother shifted her attention entirely to Dave’s children, leaving him feeling neglected and overlooked.
He wrote: “I (26M) am getting married to my fiancée,(let’s call her Sarah (25F), in a few months, and I’m super excited about it. But there’s one big issue with all the planning—my mom.
A little background: My parents divorced when I was 8, and my mom (let’s call her Layla) remarried pretty quickly after that. She married this guy, Dave, who had two kids of his own. Ever since, it’s like I was no longer a priority in her life. She focused all her attention on Dave and his kids. Like, I’m not exaggerating when I say she treated them way better than me. They’d go on trips, she’d go to all their sport events, and they’d get everything they wanted. Meanwhile, I felt like I was invisible. She didn’t ask about my school, didn’t care about my friends, or even my mental health. I started to feel like I wasn’t even her kid anymore
When I turned 18, I moved out. I thought maybe she’d care and try to stay in touch, but nope—she didn’t. I’d text her once in a while just to check in, and she’d either not respond or say she was busy with Dave and his kids. I figured if she didn’t care, why should I? So, I just stopped trying to reach out.
Fast forward to now. I’m planning my wedding, and out of nowhere, my mom starts texting me like we’re super close. She wants to know all the details, saying how excited she is, and even saying things like, “I can’t wait to see you start this new chapter.” Like… seriously? I haven’t heard from her in years, and now she expects to be front and center for my wedding?
I told her straight up that I didn’t want her there. I said I’m not comfortable with her coming after everything that’s happened, and that if she really wants to have a relationship, we can talk about it after the wedding, but not before. She started crying and saying I’m holding a grudge and that “I’m her son” and “she deserves to be there.” But I don’t know how I’m supposed to just forget the fact that she ignored me my whole childhood in favor of Dave’s kids.
Now, my family is split. Some of them think I’m right and that I shouldn’t just let her show up when she never showed up for me. Others think I should just let it go, and “it’s just one day” and that I should let her come to the wedding to keep the peace.
So… AITA for not letting my mom come to my wedding after everything that happened?.”

Mina Caputo, the lead singer of the rock band Life of Agony, has announced plans to transition back to living as a man.
Mina initially came out as transgender in 2011, after identifying as male until 2008. Reflecting on the journey, Mina shared that overcoming gender dysphoria was a challenging process and after walking through a lot he later got to understand the confusions in his soul and spirit.
In a video he shared on his Instagram page, he said: “‘Surgery has been booked to remove my fake breasts, and I will be lovingly living in my divine male self.
“‘I’ve cured my gender dysphoria. It took many years. A lot of walking through the fire, but I rose above my misunderstandings of my soul and my spirit.
‘I’m making this video because a lot of people throwing me shade, saying I look ugly, and I look like a man.”
“It’s like honey lamb, I am a man, I always was a man. You’re just not used to hearing authentic people speak. You’re used to people spitting lies at you about their identity.
“Yes, I’m off of hormones, six, seven years now and this January 2025 and I am — my surgery has been booked to remove my fake breasts and I will be lovingly living in my divine male self,’ he explained.
“I’ll be physically completely de-transitioned in 2025. I can’t wait. I feel so free.’
“I’m very proud of myself………I’ve been through so much over the years. I wouldn’t wish gender dysphoria on my worst enemy. It’s one of the most uncomfortable things I’ve ever been through in my life, and I’m just so happy that it is f***ing over.

Vet doctor ends it all after rich clients refused to pay for their Pet care
A grieving mother, Tina Ellis, is mourning the tragic loss of her 35-year-old son, John Ellis, a veterinarian who took his own life after struggling with emotional distress in his profession.
According to The Mail, Tina revealed that John found it deeply upsetting when animals he treated couldn’t be saved and also when wealthy clients refused to pay for their pets’ treatments, despite showing up in expensive cars.
The tragedy unfolded on November 6, 2022. John, in a distressed state, reportedly tricked a nurse into giving him a lethal dose of euthanasia drugs, claiming it was for a friend’s large dog. He later used the drug on himself. Before his death, he told his partner of 12 years, Ashley James, that he was going to pick up a package from his former workplace. Later, he called James to confess he had done “something stupid” and expressed his love.
Later at the scene, Police found John unresponsive in a bathroom and rushed him to the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, where he was pronounced dead in the early hours of November 7.
Tina shared that her son had always hidden his distress, as he was used to staying calm under pressure. John had worked as a vet for 17 years and dreamed of earning a good income while helping animals.
Mrs Ellis said her son once said: “When I’ve got somebody saying they won’t pay to help their animal, and they’re sitting there with a brand-new car outside, and other people who were really struggling financially would do anything to save their animals, but there was nothing they could do because it was already too late.”
She added: “People get the wrong idea of vets……..The higher-earning ones have been in the profession longer but started on low wage.
“John wanted to earn a good wage, but he’d worked 17 years to get where he was. Vets come in for a lot of bashing. They try really hard to save whatever pets get brought in.”
“It’s an absolute travesty that he’s been lost not only for us but for the veterinary world. He was so good at what he did. He was fun, he was funny, he was generous, he was kind. He was so clever, and we were so proud of him.
“What has come out is how supportive John was to so many different people. He was really encouraging to his younger brother and sister in their careers. He was an amazing brother to them. John would try to spend his own time with nurses in the practice and other young colleagues, trying to give them the confidence to succeed.
Paying tribute to john, his family said: “”He poured his heart into his work, and his absence leaves a deep void in the lives of all who had the privilege of working with him and knowing him personally. As a family, we are devastated by the loss of John, and we continue to grapple with the heartbreak and shock that come with the death of someone so young and full of potential…
“We want to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who may be struggling with mental health challenges to seek support and not suffer in silence. No one should feel that they are alone, and we urge everyone to reach out for help if they are in need.”

Man who married single mother ends it all as he found out his children are not his
A man shared a heartbreaking story in a Facebook group about how another man tragically ended his life after marrying a single mother.
According to the post, the man fell in love with a pregnant woman who had been abandoned by her partner. He promised to take responsibility for her unborn child and married her. Over the years, their son grew up and was admitted to study medicine, now in his third year at the university.
However, things took a devastating turn when the wife reconnected with her former lover and revealed to her son the identity of his biological father. The son later informed the man who raised him that his mother was secretly seeing her ex and that the two younger children in the family were not his but belonged to her former lover.
Overwhelmed by betrayal and frustration, the man tragically ended his life by jumping into a well.

They form a family and life continues, they are now a family of four children ..He takes the boy as his own and educates him.. The boy is bright and so he qualifies for medicine, now in third year..In between the marriage the woman reconnects with her former lover… She even tells this young man about his real biological father.

The rest belong to his co_husband and the woman is now trying to fully connect the kids with their dad..
He decides to end it all by jumping into a kisima…
He dies and the angels sing the betrayal lullaby … Lalalalaal lalalalalalalala… Single mother’s! Single mother’s!

No Man has touched her- Photographer celebrates Bride as she marries as a Virgin
A Nigerian lady named Esther has been trending on social media after revealing that she has never been touched or kissed by a man.
In a post shared by Godfactor Studios, a photography brand, Esther was celebrated for staying pure until marriage.
He wrote: “Congratulations Esther. DOES VIRGINITY ADD ANYTHING TO MARRIAGE ???? This bride married her husband as a virgin,” he wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday.
“I know some of you will get angry and ask if VIRGINITY brings anything to the table of marriage.
“Some of you might even ask how I got to know that she was a virgin just to discredit her and make mockery of it, but I know virgins because I also married a virgin.
“She testified that her kiss with her husband on their wedding day was her ever first kiss…. And I heard many testimonies from church members, course mates and neighbors.
“If you marry a virgin, it means you married a lady with a lot of discipline, it also means that you married a lady that’s not wayward. It is not easy to keep virginity in this world of immorality, so if you see a virgin, give her her flowers.
“Marrying a virgin brings a lot of good luck and opens the door of favour. God does not joke with virgins.
“Yes, being a virgin does not mean that a lady will automatically beat good woman, but it has taken care of 50 percent of the challenges of mistrust. Trust is the bedrock of marriage.”

I regret having more than one child- Lady
A woman has opened up on social media about her regrets after becoming a mother.
In a Reddit post, she shared that she and her partner, both in their mid-30s, recently welcomed a child, but adjusting to life with a baby has been extremely challenging for them.
She went on to question how parents with multiple children manage, describing raising a child as one of the hardest experiences of her life.
She wrote: “Do you regret not having more kids? Or vice versa, do you regret having more kids?
My spouse and I welcomed our child 4 months ago. We’re both in our early to mid 30’s and are exhausted!! We love our little one to pieces but we’re grieving our old lives and relationship! The newborn phase was so so difficult for us, and the infant stage also has its challenges we can’t fathom having more than 1 child atm.
The fact that many people are out here having multiple children makes me question if I’m just that weak minded?! Raising a child has been the single hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
The sleepless nights, declining health, weak joints, memory loss, etc etc.
My partner and I are torn whether or not we want to try for another, but we also don’t want to wait too long and be older and have to go through this again later on 😭”
