4 Days out and He's giving me the F&*$ing silent treatment!?!?

Almost Mrs. W, on July 31, 2012 at 12:27 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Hello Everyone,

I've replied on a few posts and been scoping things out here since January but haven't actually made my own post yet, I don't think... So the jist of the situation here is that my FH, basically didn't speak to me the whole trip home from his mother's house (it's clear across the city so I got to spend 45 Minutes in silence after I vented. My major vent last night was that I am SO bloody tired of people, namely his mother, who in general is wonderful but lately is really pissing me off, telling me to calm down or relax about wedding stuff. My anger, yes... I think I can label this anger comes from the fact that I have been very relaxed about the shit people are putting me through at the last minute. I got really upset with a comment my FMIL made and got even more upset the more time I had to sit an think about it in silence, because the more time I had to think about the more I realized how many times in the last few weeks she has made these subtle hurtful comments con't

    Being that your FMIL is generally a wonderful person, maybe try sitting down with her one day over lunch or a shopping trip and explain how you feel. If you haven't told her directly, she doesn't know that she is offending/hurting you. Sometimes our FH's don't have the balls to talk to their mothers...been there done that one! lol

    My best advice...COMMUNICATION. Talk to her. If she still acts like a psycho whosebeast, then by all means gets angry, but at least you know you put the best foot forward and tried.

    Good luck to you!

    Which is a lot... I try to brush most of them off but now after a year's worth of planning and being asked the same questions 1000 times about who is staying where for our rehearsal dinner and giving the same answer every time, now my FH's aunt has decided that she is also staying where the bridal party is staying, including her husband and son... so now either my mom and a bridesmaid get to sleep on the floor on air mattresses and I should just be ok with this changing 5 days before the wedding and that I shouldn't stress and it shouldn't bother me. I tried to make a suggestion in which my FH and I would make arrangements to get necessary keys to his aunt but FMIL says "No, we're not changing things and making more arrangements and putting more stress on everyone.." So basically, we can only put extra stress on me and my bridal party, and that's completely acceptable?

    Am I overreacting?

    No, you aren't. But you're currently in the most stressful part of wedding planning - just a few days to go. Now it's not really time for problem solving, but keep on saying "no" to everything unless somebody is giving you money or food.

    I wouldn't vent to your FH at this point. Figure out what you can deal with, and what he should deal with. His aunt is obviously his domain. Delegate and move on. Vent to us or your WP.

    Many couples have their worst fights in the days leading up to the wedding. It's the accumulation of stress. So if you take it as such, you'll make it through. You're almost there!

    I agree with Mrs. S., don't vent to FH right now. This week I just gave my FH a few simple tasks to do. I have noticed we are a little crabby with each other right now, but it is due to the stress and both being utterly exhausted. Take a deep breath and let FH deal with his Aunt.

    Thanks for the advice ladies... the problem with the aunt situation is that he isn't dealing with because his mom has taken it upon herself to make these arrangements and her argument is that she doesn't mind sleeping on the couch or floor to accomodate.
