I'm In Need Of Advice...

Cody, on January 2, 2021 at 11:18 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9
I'm extremely extrovert, I love dancing and having fun and making people laugh... I've been engaged for 2 years now and we have a kid together. We've broken up twice since our engagement once for a few months. But found out way back... its been about 8 months since we got back together and we're starting to plan the wedding again, but everytime she starts talking about it I get angry, I shut down... I get thoughts of what if we don't make it, what if this... am I wrong for feeling this way? I know I shouldn't be angry but it's like a coping mechanism it just kicks in and I have to appologize... am I ready to get married? Does everyone go though this??

    You need to figure out the root of that anger.

    If you've broken up twice within a 2 year engagement, I would definitely take a moment and figure things out. As the previous poster suggested, couples counseling (and maybe individual for yourself) is a really good idea to sort things out.

    No one should be angry when trying to communicate. What triggers it? Look into couples therapy to learn healthy communication and coping skills before you actively planning a wedding.

    I agree you should explore the cause of your anger and seek professional counseling to see if there are ways you two can communicate better. I would wait to plan anymore wedding things until you feel less anger about this.

    Hi Cody, I agree with previous posts that counseling is a good idea. Food for thought, being married is far more then having fun. For me, it is a calling from God to be my husband’s supporter, protector, faithful and responsible partner to him. He does the same for me. It is not always fun, requires work, and it is not about putting myself first. My husband was at every wedding appointment and I’m sure he didn’t love every minute, but he did it with a smile because that is what is in our best interest. We both want a family life.


    You have to decide if you want to be a family man or not. If not, graciously step aside so your fiancé can find that person.
    I do wish you the best in working things out ❤️

    We utilized couples counseling before marriage and even see a marriage therapist now. It helps with our communication and maybe it can help you determine your thoughts and see how you really feel about getting married. Definitely try talking to her about how you feel, because that will help too

    Are you both willing to make it work? Once you’re married there is no breaking up at that point. Plus you have a child together. Are you truly happy or just scared?

    It sounds like you, and your relationship, might not be ready for marriage. If just talking makes you angry, and you’ve only been back together for 8 months, I don’t think I would feel comfortable committing to a lifetime. I would consider postponing/canceling your wedding for now and work on your relationship.
