Irritable Anyone?

Both of you are stressed. The time is rapidly approaching, and your time has been filled with nothing but wedding errands, wedding chores, and wedding talk..right? Okay...so you're like weeks from the wedding...is there ONE evening that you two can have a nice quiet dinner...even if its in jammies watching movies...and make a rule...absolutely NO wedding talk for the evening. Relax, talk about when you first met, the fun you had getting to know each other. Have a glass of wine(if that's your thing) give each other a massage...even a good foot rub is nice. Just have some quiet time to remember why you're putting yourselves through the chaos....laugh about it!! Sounds like you'll survive!! Best wishes!!

Hi sockfuzz,

I agree with julsdanne. You guys need to get away from the wedding business and have fun. Get out on a date, go out for a few beers and shoot pool or something really light and casual. But not a movie...do something together that's completely carefree.

Keep us updated!

I know the feeling!!! My fiancee and i have been together for a little over 3 years and we have fought more in the last 3 or 4 months then we have the whole time we've been together. Its probably just stress, and it is really frusterating. My fiancee and i are fighting over where to have our ceremony, but once the day comes everything will be fine and all the stress will be gone!!

Thanks for confirming my feelings! I am sooooo irritable. The man I love is bugging me so much. And it is the little things like the way his allergies make him stiff all the time, or the way he drags his feet when he walks. I know this is completley my issue and he is a wonderful man. I think I am just letting my anxiety get the best of me. You are right when you say this too shall pass, but I am contacting a marriage councelor because it has been so bad. It's like continuous PMS!

Hi Freemom,

I think you need to figure out why you are closing your heart to him. Is it fear?

Thank you all for your comments! It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this. Last weekend we went camping with the family, and had a very fun and relaxing family weekend. Bike riding, pool, etc. It was nice to just spend time with the kids and have a good time, and we relaxed a little bit and had some fun. It's not that all of our time is being consumed by wedding stuff, it's that it seems to be consumed with EVERYTHING. Kids, work, juggling our houses, etc. It's getting better, thankfully, and I hope it does for all of you too!

i was pregnant the last time we argued and i was SUPER irritated like that. lol. he was always the only person in the WORLD that could irritate the crap out of me.

I see your big day is comming up! I too have been on edge during the whole wedding process. I get irritated when anyone challenges my ideas- despite the fact that I am fully aware some of my ideas are bad ideas. To make matters worse, my fiance is just as stressed as I am, although he shows it differently. One thing I can definitely say is, I hope our sex life returns to normal after the wedding! It's hard to be romantic when we're both exhausted and stressed out. Good luck with your wedding! Congrats!

Well, you guys did it! So how are things now? I am going through very similar stuff with 4 months until the wedding date. When I think about the fact that I want to marry him because he is my best friend and we love each other it's easier. But stil...it seems like the constant PMS, as someone said, whenever we talk about the actual day. I get moody, or he gets scared of me getting moody...

Why am I so moody? That's what I'd like to know. I found the website www.consciousweddings.com, which talks about common issues of engaged and newly-married couples. I found it helpful, but it's still hard. Sometimes I wonder if I even want to go through with it...there I said it. It just seems like such a pain, and scary to me to think about making such a huge and powerful decision...and all those people. But then I watch him do something or hear something he says, and I remember why I love him and want to be with him. So confusing this time... I don't envy any bride-to-be.
