    Cheerios to completing that challenging but fun 5k! You should keep doing them, the adrenaline from the races will distract you from thinking of your selfish SO. Live your life and let him wallow in his.

    Am I the only one who thinks you should have gone to the wedding. There will always be another 5K. You could have visited with your family in another way.

    I expect for him to have the courtesy to let me be excited and not to make me feel bad for wanting to share an exciting part of my life with him. He will go on and on about things I'm not particularly interested in but I enjoy that he's sharing with me. So, no, he doesn't have to be interested in all the same things, I just wanted him to let me share with him my excitement.

    He's not you. He may not get enjoy the sharing of your differences as much as you do. He is letting your keep that bit for yourself.
    You can't expect him to react in the same way as you do to stuff. Everyone has different ways of reacting to other people's favourite topics of conversation.

    It was you who let you feel bad about wanting to share. Don't feel bad that you tried, or that the attempt was unsuccessful. You control how you deal with the moment, he can't make you feel bad without your consent.

    Here's how these posts usually go:

    I was really annoyed with my partner the other day! He did this......

    "Dump him"
    "He's no good"
    "Time to move on"
    "What an ahole"
    "He should grow up"

    With his history of only spending time with his family & not hers, why should she sacrifice time with her family that she only sees a few times a year over his which are local?

    If he wants her to be active with his family, he needs to make an effort to be active with hers. In this situation, the wedding is not a common event, I personally would have likely asked if I could bring my family with me to the wedding and split the day. It would not have been an all-day event; compromises could have likely been made with good communication on both sides.

    Just break up.

    Yup. You're both selfish. Just break up.

    Honey, was he on his period? You deserve so much better. That was some accomplishment and you deserved some respect from doing it. :flowerforyou:
