Feeling Down

I really need to vent and I haven't vented to anyone about this. Last night my FH said some hurtful things to me due to him being under stress. A little backstory: our wedding date is May 9th and we live in NJ. Our state is locked down til May 7th. Originally our venue was going to give us our $ back, but now we are going back and forth with them because they don't want to & would rather us reschedule, but we dont want to. Already decided to get married with 10 people or less in attendance once NJ isnt on lockdown. We even contacted an attorney and it's very stressful for us. Last night he was very upset (I'm more calm out of the 2 of us) and said he regrets proposing to me, getting engaged and even meeting me. Said if none of that happened then we wouldn't be going through this now. I approached him about it this morning saying how my feelings are very hurt and he apologized, but said he meant what he said in the moment last night because of how bad he was feeling and that I shouldn't dwell on it. My response was that's the first time anyone has ever told me they regret meeting me etc. I feel like crap & have no idea what to do.

    I dont want any future children to learn this behavior at all. I'd caution them to stay away as well

    Hi Jaimie,

    First I’m so sorry you wedding got turned upside down. However, sometimes things happen for a reason and given this conversation happened, now is the perfect time to take a minute and rethink your relationship. You state he’s said hurtful things before. You deserve someone who wants to be with you, someone who will appreciate you, and respect you. Regardless of how stressed he is, that’s not license to be hurtful to the person you love. What would your advice be to your daughter if you had one and the person she loves said this to her?

    Only you can decide what to do, but I think first you need to acknowledge your worth...you did not deserve that. If your fh can say something so hurtful and tell you to, essentially, get over it, is that the kind of feeling you're willing to deal with for the rest of your life? Only you can decide if he's a lost cause, and only he can decide to make a genuine effort to never let that happen again...though, from my perspective, it shouldn't be so tough a challenge to show respect to someone you love. I won't tell you what you should do, and I'm sending you all the positivity I can, but please think this through logically, as best you can, without thinking you can change him or the way he reacts to stress. ::hugs::

    If I had a daughter I would tell her that I hurt for her because the man that loves her will prove it to her by words and actions. And that there are certain words that cant be taken back. I wouldn't want that for her, but at the end of the day she must make the choice best for her
