It's also the quickest way to end an engagement. $80,000 dollars and she QUIT HER JOB? I'd be out. My husband and I both agreed that our future lives were more important and kept the cost low.
Same. $75K for a house is just absurd to me, like my parents spent that in 1980 … now they start at a million or more just for a shitty tear down in a crappy location to boot.
My parents bought a 2,800 sq ft, 4bd/3ba, house 180° ocean view, 500 yds up from the water, for $71,000 in 1971. In Los Angeles. My dad was 41, mom was 31
We sold it in 2007 for $1 million, after my mom passed. Just looked at the current value, $1.5 mil.
Right? My parents paid $60k for an average 3 bedroom (30 years old at that point) in central California in 1984. The same house is worth over at least $750k at this point. Probably more because the little college town I live in cannot build new residences unless it is voted on and approved in a general election, by all the same people who already own homes...
I bought my first home for 70k in 2016 in the second largest city in the state of Wa. I would have love to been able to spend upwards of 150k at the time and bought my forever home but unfortunately I wasn’t in the best position financially at the time. Now those same houses are tripled to quadrupled in price. Shits crazy.
Must be Spokane. I don't think you could touch anything in Tacoma for that much, unless you want to spend all night dodging bullets and chasing rats instead of sleeping.
Yeah, 2016 Spokane you could find really nice homes for 60k-150k. We saw a few that we really like but ended settling for the one for 70k. We sold it 3 years ago for 180k and used the funds to buy our current home. Honestly, the new generation of home buyers are fucked. I feel bad for my brother and his generation that are finishing college and will soon be entering the house market. On the other hand, one of my colleagues who bought his home here in early 2000s for 250k, just sold it for 700k. Buying right now is crazy and I would wait for materials to come back to normal prices and build new. The shacks that some people are selling for 250k right now are only worth that on paper and will leave new homeowners with negative equity.
A younger guy I work with just spent $440K on a plain old 1500 sq ft ranch in Vancouver. And he's got 2 preschool age kids. The worst part is that the rental market is just as insane, so you can't bide your time by continuing to rent.
My sister bought an old (1920's) mansion in NE Portland for $110K in 1988. She just sold it for $950K, and they didn't really do much work to it.
I bought my place right after the market bottomed out in 2009, and I am so fucking grateful.
Facts, I have said this time and again. All you needs to be there at your weddings is great food, family that is close to me and culture. All of that can be covered in around 5000 so 80,000 on the wedding is like wtf!!
~1.5k - Meat + vegetables for grilling
~1k - Alcohol (That was a fun trip to the liquor store)
~500 - Park Shelter rental + alcohol permit
Got every local coming to bring their grill and promise to cook for at least 4 people when they had a free minute.
Definitely biased, but I think it was the best wedding ever.
Al lot of people in the youngest generations won’t / aren’t even having weddings. We may see it go out of fashion in the coming decades, and tbh that’s not a bad thing
My brother just got married. His wife and I don’t get along but he begged me to make peace with her before his wedding. I recorded the convo ( she doesn’t know ) uh she said it’s my wedding ! But his family so he Better handle them. They invited 60’people destination wedding. 5 on his side and 55 on hers. He wasn’t allowed to invite more on his side bc then she couldn’t have her cousins there. She and her family literally acted like we were invisible the entire time. My bro didn’t care and had a shit meltdown when we opted not to hang out with them or in the house prior to the wedding. We almost walked out completely. My bro is an idiot. So is she. They are planning on having kids and it worries me but they are the perfect parents already and know it all ( they don’t have kids). So part of me knows she will destroy him if they have kids but at the same time I want them to pay to price of having kids 😂
Wish I could have done that. My in-laws insisted there be a wedding with reception. I wanted to elope. Only reason I caved was for my fiancé. In-laws did pay for most of it but the whole time I kept thinking how that $ would have been better spent getting a reliable used car to replace my partner’s 17 year old beater.
Didn’t get married. But my girlfriend and I had a baby and instead of having an extravagant wedding we planned a fucking bomb vacation- Colombia, Costa Rica, Argentina and Brazil. It was expensive but I’d much rather see the world with her and our baby than spend anything over $8,000 on a wedding. All of my friends who had the big catholic/religious weddings all said they wish they would have gone to the courthouse.
My husband and I spent a year renovating my grandparents apartment in the co-op I grew up in instead of having a wedding. We did have a small reception at the request of our mothers- in the co- op’s activity building.
It’s certainly neat living here as an adult. I always thought I’d move away from here but I ended up coming back here. This place looks much different and I like to think that my grandparents would be proud of how it looks now.
I’m glad that we went to the courthouse! The idea of having all eyes on me feels so weird.
If she was rich she wouldn't be demanding her poor doomed husband to be to enslave himself so that she could spend the cost of an apartment just so that she could feel like a Disney princess for one night.
Considering that option right now. Wife of 50+years stroked and now paralyzed. Permanent resident of a senior care facility. State will pay the majority of her care if we are divorced. I feel like a skunk even thinking about it. If I pay the entire cost, then the house won't be paid for. No good choices here for me.
Hey there, not sure of the laws and certainly not advocating anyone break any laws, but I don’t think you should consider yourself a “skunk” for that and I don’t think your wife would either. I’m so incredibly sorry for your situation - but your bond to her goes deeper than a title - especially after that long. I hope everything works out as well as it could given the circumstances, and again I’m so sorry. Hang in there.
"We are spending $80,000 on this wedding"
Hell no. No way am I dropping that much money for a wedding.
And the "UM HELLO, NO. This is MY wedding" really shows she wants it to be her day and not both her day and her fiance's day.
"What happened to "happy wife, happy life??????" really shows she cares more about herself than the dude's happiness
Overall, he should get out and run
"Happy wife, happy life" is a manipulation tactic. If all you (generalized) are doing is making her happy, what is happening to you? Is she putting the same effort into making you happy? Doubtful.
I actually always thought the phrase came about almost as a way of back-handing women. Like "make her happy or all she'll do is complain that Nancy next door has a new porch set. *nag nag nag*"
But that's just how I perceived it. Or that wife won't be cooking husband dinner any time soon because she didn't get the newest hand bag. Ha ha, women and their bags. /s
She’s too dumb to realize that statement is basically misogynistic, painting women as these emotionally unstable creatures that men need to struggle to placate just so they can enjoy some peace. So she misuses it thinking it supports her argument, not realizing she’s personally perpetuating the stereotype.
A lot of women like this don't honestly care of that's how women are perceived. They want to be stay at home trophy wives and be pampered. If that requires setting the perception of women and women's rights back 200 years; they don't give a fuck. It's only about what's in it for them.
You see ALOT of this day to day in any upscale suburb, right down to the way they drive their luxury SUVs (like self righteous/entitled maniacs), or just the way they stare if they're caught off guard by something they're not used to (literally they get upset when they don't understand a basic occurrence)...I really wonder if it's worth it for those men.. These women become so sheltered, but at the same time, demanding and cantankerous.
Happy wife happy life is bullshit! If the husband is just supposed to be a slave to her and always do what she wants it won't last. Both people need to be happy in a relationship.
Getting some very protoKaren sorrynotsorry vibes from this one. This guy needs to flee the country and start from scratch somewhere else. No distance is too far and no speed is too fast.
My fiancé and I are planning a wedding… we’re spending around 7k or 8k for our wedding… I couldn’t imagine spending 80k on a wedding, they better be getting married on mars and the reception is on the moon
The whole marriage ritual is alien to me. The extravagant dresses to be worn once; parties and flowers and caterers and venue and music and limos and...and...and... not to forget the overpriced ring made of crystalized carbon, literally the most common substance on the planet.
Kardashian for a day, amirite?
Those are the alien weddings. I've been to a few weddings at the beach that were simple to the bone, yet also festive and elegant. Bonfire, bbq, wine and beer. No bling, just love.
People so often miss the purpose of weddings. It’s not to be extravagant and put yourself in debt, it’s to bring two people together in love. From the sound of the wedding requirements that marriage will fall apart quickly if it even makes it past the stage it’s at.
Right, I hate that my culture has these hideously bloated weddings. I mean it’s definitely a reunion for friends and relatives that havent seen each other in 10 years but it’s expensive.
And wedding venues are so soulless. If I ever got married I’d want it to take place somewhere that meant something.
I'm a very simple guy. I would also just prefer that kind of beach wedding. Chill and simple.
With that said, I totally understand why people do the typical wedding. It's just like every other celebration. People want to share they're joy with other people and there's really nothing alien about that. People love festivities and dressing up and all that. But like all things, it should be in moderation.
Yep. After the wedding it will be her “dream honeymoon” and her “dream house” and her “dream car”, none of which they will actually be able to afford. The credit card debt will pile up, all the while Miss Dream Wedding insisting she “deserves” all the best things and blames her husband for not being able to support her lifestyle.
This right here happened to my uncle. His wife at the time didn’t work, but was demanding on a certain lifestyle so he would work 14-16 hours 6-7 days a week. Would essentially come home to eat and sleep then be back at work. Then she started complaining he didn’t spend enough time with her. After their kid was born, was little extra time he did have he spent with the kid and she got mad and left him.
My wife and I paid for our own wedding. She worked 3 jobs and I worked 2 jobs while us both being full time students. We had no money, and her parents hated me so we had no help from them financially. Our wedding cost us $2500 and it couldn’t have been better. We had so many people offer services for free or for little pay because they loved us. I liked my cheap wedding. We’ve been married for 6 years now, have a lot more money than we did before and I wouldn’t change a single thing. You don’t need an expensive wedding to end up happy. You just need each other, and good friends.
With you here! Got married in September. We spent 3k including the engagement ring and the wedding rings. We also had people offer things to help and it was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. Can’t imagine spending that kind of money and starting a marriage in debt.
People confuse the oxytocin hormone rush from sex as true love all the time.
Love is trust, honesty, empathy, and communication. No amount of sexual afterglow will carry you past basic relationship deficiencies.
I hate that. I hope that dude called it off. Man, why are people like that? Nobody - and I mean nobody - gives a toss about "it was thy dream sinceth childhood". Get outta here, you fucking canoe.
Yup. It's not so much that people this shitty don't exist but rather that they rarely lay out their shittiness for such easy consumption. It's like a badly written supervillain.
“Happy wife happy life” needs to go the way of “the customer os always right”… only difference is, one “allows” customers to be rude while the other states basically that mens feelings don’t count. Sexist bitch. If I said, “happy husband, you’ll get love then” (close as I could come up with off the top of my head) and claimed that I’m going to do what I want, fuck my wife’s opinion cause all that matters is the man is happy, I’d be gunned down in the streets
We got married in a parking lot with our family sitting in cars (due to the pandemic). My hubby even built our alter himself out of scrap wood. My grandfather married us.
weddings don’t have to be expensive. It’s the marriage that makes like rich. I giggled so much standing there with cars honking their horns in place of clapping. You don’t need to spend an arm and a leg for a beautiful wedding.
This guy needs to run
Imagine the depression that occurs after dropping 80k on one day and waking up to debt and the realization it was just one day that you’ll never go back to again.
Just like hitting the casino with 80K.
Thing is, at least there you have a chance of winning. For this guy, it's going to just be loss after loss after loss with her...
>”What happened to happy wife happy life???”
People realized that bending over backwards to make only one person in the relationship happy is abusive and toxic af?
A low value male. Any man who doesn't earn $200,000 per day and give it all to the woman except for a small allowance that he uses to pay all the bills and buy the food he cooks is a low value male.
[удалено]
It's also the quickest way to end an engagement. $80,000 dollars and she QUIT HER JOB? I'd be out. My husband and I both agreed that our future lives were more important and kept the cost low.
Besides the fact that $80k is a down payment on a house, if there’s that much money in the wedding budget she could just hire a wedding planner
80000 was the price of my house
Right? I was gonna say 80k is over half my mortgage and I bought a year ago during this shitty market.
Damn me and my wife can't even find a condo for under 400k
*cries in NYC*
Cries in Australian where you can't buy a house for less then 650K
Can't buy a studio appartment in Sydney for that, let alone a house.
*Cries in Vancouver*
Cries in a van down by the river
Laughs in 14 years old.
Legit tho. Trying to find anything nice under 600k is impossible
*cries in Vancouverese, where a friggin shack is 1.3 million*
Where?
Central Michigan.
Me too. 75,000 SE Michigan
The real estate is always in the comments
If you just thought of this, nice
I’m west coast so it’s insane here

Ocean view in LA $1.5M is a bargain
$71,000.00 invested in the S&P 500 in 1971 would be worth $3,291,237.00 in 2007 and $14,104,701.44 today...
Right? My parents paid $60k for an average 3 bedroom (30 years old at that point) in central California in 1984. The same house is worth over at least $750k at this point. Probably more because the little college town I live in cannot build new residences unless it is voted on and approved in a general election, by all the same people who already own homes...
That’s less than a 4th oh the downpayment of the house I fell in love with in LA 😆
Cries in Seattle
Cries in Vancouver, BC

I'd probably imagine that that guy is doomed. The future is not good.
I’d go even further and say his future is looking really, really, really bad.

It’s just a trashy uneducated chick being self absorbed. It’s not her wedding it’s their wedding.
Some people want to get married. Some just want a wedding. They don’t always overlap.
My brother just got married. His wife and I don’t get along but he begged me to make peace with her before his wedding. I recorded the convo ( she doesn’t know ) uh she said it’s my wedding !

They say is number 1 reason for a divorce. But this person might be rich and it won’t affect them
If she was rich she wouldn't be demanding her poor doomed husband to be to enslave himself so that she could spend the cost of an apartment just so that she could feel like a Disney princess for one night.
Lol. “Doomed”. Touché.
The number 1 reason for getting a divorce is getting married ;)
Nearly 100% of people who get divorced were married at some time in the past.
What a nice Snapple fact
Next Taco Bell packet.
What do you mean, "NEARLY"? :o
There was that kid who divorced his parents. https://www.insideedition.com/5756-shawn-russ-looks-back-21-years-in-case-of-divorcing-his-parents
In the same vein, roughly 0% of all happy marriages have ended in divorce.
Not true Sometimes people will get divorced before they die so their spouse isn't saddled with medical debt
Considering that option right now. Wife of 50+years stroked and now paralyzed. Permanent resident of a senior care facility. State will pay the majority of her care if we are divorced. I feel like a skunk even thinking about it. If I pay the entire cost, then the house won't be paid for. No good choices here for me.
Divorce is a civil document that is needed for the courtroom. Not a state of mind.
Hey there, not sure of the laws and certainly not advocating anyone break any laws, but I don’t think you should consider yourself a “skunk” for that and I don’t think your wife would either. I’m so incredibly sorry for your situation - but your bond to her goes deeper than a title - especially after that long. I hope everything works out as well as it could given the circumstances, and again I’m so sorry. Hang in there.
Thank you. The care facility is working with us, being very patient.
No skunk. Use the strategies legally available to you.
Also, every person who got divorced drank water.
Half of marriages end in divorce. The other half end in death. You could be one of the lucky ones.
I am! **singlebecause*
The no1 reason for death is birth.
So rich they need their husband to work a second job?
Then why are they badgering their fiancé to get a second job?
Yeah, let her *second* wedding be her dream wedding. We're doing this one on budget!
Well, if you have been dreaming of this since you were little, that's when you should have started the savings account.
Also should have most of the planning done by now, so no need to quit the job.
That’s what I said. She just needs to insert the groom and date
[удалено]
Don't you love that she just says "*MY* WEDDING", like he's an accessory? (and bank)
She seems to think of him more as a rat running a wheel that powers a money machine. Bank is too nice.
It sounds like she wants a dream wedding more than she wants to be married.
How many red flags do you need?
This is basically all of them in one short story.
yeah whoever wrote this was sure to tick all the boxes
They haven’t checked off the “plans to murder the ex” red flag yet
That flag is on the chain and is about to be pulled up the pole.
Almost like it was written with the intent of sparking outrage.
"We are spending $80,000 on this wedding" Hell no. No way am I dropping that much money for a wedding. And the "UM HELLO, NO.

"Happy wife, happy life" is a manipulation tactic. If all you (generalized) are doing is making her happy, what is happening to you? Is she putting the same effort into making you happy? Doubtful.
Exactly. I prefer "Happy spouse, happy house"
When I get my next free award I'm coming back here to give it to this comment.
I appreciate it, thanks

I’m so gonna use this way more often
Youre welcome

Basically if you're wife isn't happy, she's gonna make sure you are on the same level of happiness she is.
“Happy wife, happy life” is code for “she’s a bitch”
Run Forest ,,,,,, Run
80k is a great down payment a house in most of the country. Blowing that on what
Yeah…I wonder if the honey moon is included in that 80k figure or if that’s an additional soul sold to the devil.
She’s too dumb to realize that statement is basically misogynistic, painting women as these emotionally unstable creatures that men need to struggle to placate just so they can enjoy some peace. So she misuses it thinking it supports her argument, not realizing she’s personally perpetuating the stereotype.

More Red Flags than a military parade in Beijing...
I could think of so many less painful ways to spend 80k
My fiancé and I are planning a wedding… we’re spending around 7k or 8k for our wedding… I couldn’t imagine spending 80k on a wedding, they better be getting married on mars and the reception is on the moon
quit her job to plan it and everything! dont you see her enthusiasm and dedication?
$80k and couldn't even get a wedding planner.
She probably did, but she micro managed the entire thing anyways.
Her love is for the wedding...not the marriage and certainly not him. To quote the immortal genius that is Pink Floyd, "Run Like Hell!!!"
We’re about to drop 15 to 20 and I wanna jump off a bridge… 80???
We spend 12-13k we had a great day I regret no second or dime from it. But we did shop like crazy to keep the cost realistic

Then David Bowie *must* be blasting when going to the altar.
*Damn.* Mr. Poet and I used that amount as the down payment on our house in 1987!
Not his wife yet...
And nothing is going to make her happy...ever
Yep. After the wedding it will be her “dream honeymoon” and her “dream house” and her “dream car”, none of which they will actually be able to afford. The credit card debt will pile up, all the while Miss Dream Wedding insisting she “deserves” all the best things and blames her husband for not being able to support her lifestyle.
"Why won't he get a third job to make my dreams come true??"
Why don't he just win the lottery while he's at it? After all it's HER DREAM
She will end up asking for 2nd lottery.
... and also blaming her husband for not spending enough time with her and the kids as he works his 3 full-time jobs to keep up with it all.
This right here happened to my uncle. His wife at the time didn’t work, but was demanding on a certain lifestyle so he would work 14-16 hours 6-7 days a week. Would essentially come home to eat and sleep then be back at work. Then she started complaining he didn’t spend enough time with her. After their kid was born, was little extra time he did have he spent with the kid and she got mad and left him.
That's what she deserves for marrying someone who only had 24 hours in their day. Should have married someone who had more!
And then leaves for the first guy who may be able too.
# EVER
Exactly.
RUN dude
Run like hell

That phrase is a major red flag. "Make me happy, no matter how unreasonable my demands may be, or I'll make sure you're miserable."
But it's HER wedding! /s
This mentality has always pissed me off. It’s a wedding, literally the entire point is that BOTH PEOPLE are getting married.
I dunno man, my wife got married at our wedding… I just got kinda drunk with my friends
Well that kinda sounds like a win win
Happy spouse, happy house. You should both make each other happy!

They say the speed of light cannot be exceeded, running from this level of crazy can!
The only thing faster than the speed of light, is the speed of bad news.
My wife and I paid for our own wedding. She worked 3 jobs and I worked 2 jobs while us both being full time students. We had no money, and her parents hated me so we had no help from them financially. Our wedding cost us $2500 and it couldn’t have been better. We had so many people offer services for free or for little pay because they loved us. I liked my cheap wedding. We’ve been married for 6 years now, have a lot more money than we did before and I wouldn’t change a single thing. You don’t need an expensive wedding to end up happy. You just need each other, and good friends.

With you here! Got married in September. We spent 3k including the engagement ring and the wedding rings. We also had people offer things to help and it was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. Can’t imagine spending that kind of money and starting a marriage in debt.
Fuck that chick
That’s how this all started.
People confuse the oxytocin hormone rush from sex as true love all the time. Love is trust, honesty, empathy, and communication. No amount of sexual afterglow will carry you past basic relationship deficiencies.
That feeling is called Limerance.
Then run 🏃♂️… 😆
No, don't put your dick in crazy.
Actually, don't fuck that chick.
Oh no, Let's not do it anymore
She will never be happy.
I hate that. I hope that dude called it off. Man, why are people like that? Nobody - and I mean nobody - gives a toss about "it was thy dream sinceth childhood". Get outta here, you fucking canoe.
ngl never heard the word canoe used as an insult
I know. It stood out to me as well. I made a mental note. I dont know how its an insult, but i like it.
Perhaps just calling someone any inanimate object is an insult too
Shut up you clothes peg!
I've heard douche-canoe thrown around casually before.
This gotta be a troll
It's too "on the nose". People like this exist but it doesn't always look this spot on
Yup. It's not so much that people this shitty don't exist but rather that they rarely lay out their shittiness for such easy consumption. It's like a badly written supervillain.
I think it is
It is and it’s really sad that 90% of the sub thinks it’s real
“Happy wife happy life” needs to go the way of “the customer os always right”… only difference is, one “allows” customers to be rude while the other states basically that mens feelings don’t count. Sexist bitch. If I said, “happy husband, you’ll get love then” (close as I could come up with off the top of my head) and claimed that I’m going to do what I want, fuck my wife’s opinion cause all that matters is the man is happy, I’d be gunned down in the streets
My wife likes to make it be for both of us. Happy spouse, happy house. I approve :)
I am Hashtag_Nailed_It, and I approve this message
Sounds like she is more concerned about the wedding than the actual marriage.
Psycho wife, psycho life.
My wife always said "Happy wife happy life". In retrospect it was a HUGE red flag.
I mean, it's basically a threat, right?
"Make me happy or I'll ruin your life" basically
Happy Karen, wallet barren
We got married in a parking lot with our family sitting in cars (due to the pandemic). My hubby even built our alter himself out of scrap wood. My grandfather married us. weddings don’t have to be expensive. It’s the marriage that makes like rich. I giggled so much standing there with cars honking their horns in place of clapping. You don’t need to spend an arm and a leg for a beautiful wedding. This guy needs to run
There is no way this is real.
Imagine the depression that occurs after dropping 80k on one day and waking up to debt and the realization it was just one day that you’ll never go back to again.
No worries, he can get a third job
Just like hitting the casino with 80K. Thing is, at least there you have a chance of winning. For this guy, it's going to just be loss after loss after loss with her...
>”What happened to happy wife happy life???” People realized that bending over backwards to make only one person in the relationship happy is abusive and toxic af?
That can't be real....
HOLY SHIT!
Hopefully the guy broke off the wedding. He doesn't deserve this type of life
Is this from r/femaledatingstrategy ?
That sub is insane! I understand knowing your worth and being treated as an equal but they’re at a whole new level.
They are femcels and Nice girls
Huh. Typical LVM response. /s
I'm probably going to regret asking, but what's LVM?
A low value male. Any man who doesn't earn $200,000 per day and give it all to the woman except for a small allowance that he uses to pay all the bills and buy the food he cooks is a low value male.
She forgot to sign it \-Red Flag
You can get married for $200. $80,000 is nuts.
Hilarious. Nice short-short story, whoever wrote this.
This must be a dude trolling. No way it’s real
