27 F thinking about breaking up with boyfriend 30 M for not going to my mother's funeral?

I will keep this short and if I need to give more information I can. My boyfriend and will have been dating for 2 years. My mother recently died and I asked him to go. He basically said he did not want to because he has never been to a funeral and it would be weird because he wouldn't know anyone there. I didn't think the last part was valid, but if he hasn't gone to his own family's' funeral I can accept that. So instead, I asked him to serve the food at the repass with my friend that he knows. He didn't give me answer until the day before and basically said he had to work.... but he owns his own company. I haven't talked to him since; I am just so numb and am not sure if I am overreacting because losing your mother is a different pain/pressure. No this is not the only issue in our relationship, but I just don't know anymore. I feel like I lost love and respect for him.

What a goddamn fucking turdburger. Personally, I think you're being vastly overly kind to him by giving him the benefit of the doubt here and not kicking him out to the curb with the rest of the trash the moment he fucking whined that he's never been to a funeral before (??? SO. I never had a job until I had one. I still fucking got one because that's what one does).

He's an absolute asshole loser. Think no more on it. Dump his pathetic ass. I'm so sorry for your loss and that you're weighed down by this awful sadsack during your loss.

Jada Pinkett Smith on Blended Families

"Blended families are NEVER easy, but here’s why I don’t have a lot of sympathy for your situation because… we CHOOSE them. When I married Will, I knew Trey was part of the package…Period! If I didn’t want that…I needed to marry someone else. Then I learned if I am going to love Trey…I had to learn to love the most important person in the world to him…his mother. And the two of us may not have always LIKED each other… but we have learned to LOVE each other.

I can’t support any actions that keep a man from his children of a previous marriage. These are the situations that separate the women from the girls. Your behavior is that of an insecure child who needs to recognize her own weaknesses that MUST be strengthened to take on the task at hand. We can’t say we love our man and then come in between him and his children. THAT’S selfishness…NOT love. WOMAN UP… I’ve been there…I know. My blended family made me a giant… Taught me so much about love, commitment and it has been the biggest ego death to date. It’s time you let your blended family make you the giant you truly are."

Social Change Might Take 1000, Let's Start Anyway.

One of the main reasons that social change is hard to come by is that it simply takes time. A person might read that and think I mean 5 years, or maybe 10, but that is not what I have in mind. A real social movement could literally take thousands of years to be effective. At the heart of it,...
