Bad luck

[Kacie_bride]

I think I may be a bad luck charm. Even though I don't believe in bad luck charms. This is why. I have been in four weddings in my life. I have been a flower girl twice and a bridesmaid twice. Only one of those marriages worked out. And this is even weirder what has been going on with my bridesmaids. One of them (I was in her wedding) just told me that her husband left her. They have a 3 year old and she is 5 months pregnant now. My MOH separated from her husband for awhile, but they got back together. And recently another one of my bridesmaids got dumped by her boyfriend of over a year. And the other two are not in serious relationships. Weird right!

Ive noticed that everyone around me is having relationship problems too. BUT.....I thinkits because Im IN love and want evrybody else to be too.

hmmm that is strange. I wouldn't think you are bad luck. I just think that the divorce rate is so high that it seems like it.

Honestly, I think that it all comes in Cycles. You notice, everyone gets married, and then it seems like everyone you know are splitting up. Celebs, friends, etc. Around the time we decided to get married, all of these girls and guys who were engaged came into Build A Bear to get gifts for their significant other.

What Cindy said is true, too.. Chances are, you want them to be happy too.

I can only think of one wedding that I have been in that the couple is still married. Witht eh divorce rate in the this country, that is just how the numbers work out sometimes.

I know alot of people that have problems in their relationships and they sometimes tell me mine will get bad too ... I think they are just jealous.

I wouldn't think of it as bad luck for you. Think of it as learning from the mistakes of others and make sure you are in the right place with your FH. I look at it like this ... many people out there are in relationships with the wrong people and for the wrong reasons, so it is bound to fall apart at some point. Looking back on my failed relationships I see it and looking at other people's failed relationships I see it too.

Be there for your friends but don't get caught up in their drama ... I always say just observe and learn ;)

I agree totally. It's like when you are pregnant every one you see is pregnant, or when you get a new car on the way home from the car lot you see four just like yours. I think that our subconcious minds makes us notice those things more than usual. Plus I think that weddings make people re evaluate thier own relationships when they see someone else so happy and in love they want it too

I often wonder what people think about me getting married again. I am 30 yrs old now and it may have taken me some time to find the man I am supposed to be with but I found him. Some people never find that person and are in and out of relationships. Just think, when we wer in high school you just broke up. Then as your older you have friends who get engaged and then split up. And also getting married and then divorced. i hate it when some one says if it doenst work out I can just get a divorce. To me marriage mean alot. It means I am in this for life regardless. It means this is the man that was put on this earth for me. Yes I have been divorced. I was with that man for a total of 12 yrs. I never married him intening to end it if things didn't work out. But I was a different person then. We got together too young and things that happened in my life made me want to be the person he wanted. I was not always myself and once I started "growing up" thigns got bad between us and neither of us knew how to handle it. I know he loved me and in a way he always will as i will him. But Nihcolas is the man who loves me regardless. He is the oen I am supposed to be with. I have never felt this love toward some one before nor have I felt this much love come from some one. I will be with this man for the rest of my life. I don't care what people think but I just wonder some times. I dont let it bother me.

I know the major difference between myself and the other relationships. One factor is age. I'm 23 and I will be 24 at the wedding. I think that is a good age for me personally. I know with others it varies. I'm graduating from college before the wedding He already has a degree and a career. My friendl who is pregnant and her husband left her, she got married a week or so after she turned 19. (She was pregnant then.) One of the weddings I was a flower girl at they were only 19 and the bride was pregnant too. My MOH was only 19 at her wedding. I'll be a 24 year old bride and compared to my friend's marriage ages I'm an old maid! LOL! And the case of my bridesmaid that just got broken up with is really sad. She was just with a jerk.

But my bridesmaids and friends have all been so great. Even though some of them may be going through bad times, they have been nothing but supportive of me. It's still early in the game, but there has been no jealousy with them. I'm glad I have this great group of girls with me.
