I think that you guys are right, they would see it as weakness ; especially when they say things like they are not afraid anymore and that they will make it on their own one way or another.
But then you have to figure that pride like that when it is pitted against the rest of your life is NUTS. Thats not to say that they will continue with this pride for a while but ultimately it has to subside with common sense. AT least , you would hope it would. Especially when kids are involved as well.
As for the Wedding FOBD, My heart goes out to you. There is no sugar coating that, it will be a tough night. But recently I had to spend a night in the hospital with my w for our son,
Heres how I got through. One minute at a time. It was a long night but I knew that the night had the exact same minutes as the night before and that they would eventually pass. And they did... but I m not going to lie. It seemed like a double night.
Good Luck
