How to ask for Space or a break from fiancé?

I’m sorry to hear that! What is he doing that’s irritating you?

I'm sorry you're going through this but before you asked for space is it really that you have an issue with him or is it just the wedding stress all together? I would say before a wedding if my FH were asked me for space that could really put a realtor in our relationship and if we need to continue. Sometimes when we are stressed out anything our loved ones do can just Annoy Us so really think about is it just a wedding or is it just really him? You don't want to say something or do something that you cannot take back.

Having space for alone time within relationships is healthy and normal. You should absolutely be able to ask for some time/space on your own without him feeling hurt. I wouldn't even relate this to the wedding (even though that is probably exacerbating your need).

Just use "I statements" and explain to him that you need some time alone each day for your own sake. Make it about your own needs rather than anything in particular that his is doing that is annoying you (if any of that is important, address is separately). Having this conversation now will set your marriage up for success. Good luck!

Sounds like the thing you need a break from is wedding planning. It seems to be stressing you out and that’s not the way it should be. Wedding planning isn’t worth damaging your relationship.

Are you able to have a girl’s weekend to take your mind off everything? My FH and I can sense when we need time apart from each and have our own offices at home to go do our own thing.

I agree with others who mentioned it could be the planning not your partner. The last month or so is the craziest but it slows down in the last week or two. Remember that chances are that what you’re stressing about are the minor things. I hit a point where I realized if welcome bags for the hotel don’t get done or don’t have a sweet welcome memo, my wedding and marriage won’t be any different. It’s easy to overwhelm yourself with the stupid little things. Step back, take a break, delegate or recruit help if needed and have a girls night or weekend if needed. Take the time to determine if it’s your own wedding stress or something to do with your partner. Good luck!

I would sit your Fiancé down and gently talk to him. If you are doing everything by yourself maybe there are some things that he could help with that could take some stress off of you.

Congratulations! I am getting married in February too and I am so excited.

You are just beyond stressed...honestly I would just let him know. I totally disconnected from mine about a week ago because we had been arguing on and off for 2 weeks. I also called in to work just to get a break and now I'm fine.

I would talk with him and let him know how you feel about the wedding and see if he can get h to help you not annoy you. You should be honest with him.
