My child is marrying a looser

[Anonymous]

We are planning a wedding for our child. We know she is going 100mph toward a brick wall. I want to stop it, but I can't. I am so damn frustrated I could scream. So don't tell me if I try to stop this marriage (again), it will push her away from us. I have nothing to loose and no support from the rest of my family. So, I will be the bitch, again. But the stakes keep getting higher.
However, I will always be there for her. God only knows what the future will bring.
Welcome to the 50's.
Why?

Do you mean he's a loser? And you have nothing to lose?

Is she excited about the wedding? If so, pull your financial support from it. See if that dampens things.

Yes, she's probably marrying someone so stupid they don't know how to spell loser.

My niece married a loser. Her parents tried unsuccessfully to talk her out of it before the wedding. Eventually she saw the light and divorced and remarried a nice guy. So not a straight path but one that worked out in the end.

I dated a loser once. My mom cried and cried for days when she found out, and it made me think about his huge problems that I already knew but wasn't acting on. Broke up with him and thank gd every day that I did.

OP, you are a dumbass. No one can really predict how things will turn out. Your child may know things you don't and even she doesn't, you could still be WRONG!

DD has had a loser BF. Wasted years on it. Would I help out with wedding or housing expenses for a DC with a loser/GF/BF/spouse?

No cash would flow for living expenses and the wedding would be cheap. Venue? The yard-no wait the loser would have friends doing weed and coke so it wouldn't be at my house.

OP is probably 100% right that groom is a loser, but 100% wrong about the idea that she can do anything about it. I hate when we raise kids to make their own decisions and then they make ones we don't like!

Oh, the irony. Thanks for the laugh.

The angry mom on the other thread complaining about college tuition should pay attention to this thread. I'd much much rather pay college tuition for a "loser" child that for a wedding to a loser.

Oh no, I just realized that this is what my wife's family was probably saying a decade ago. Oh well. Sorry.
