Stress, cold feet or just a change of heart.

I don't know what it is ladies but my FS and I have been arguing on a daily basis lately! We find ourselves going to bed angry and we haven't been intimate (TMI I know)...there are days when I question if we should be getting married at all. Planning the wedding isn't even fun for me anymore...anyone else experiencing this? This should be the happiest time of my life but I'm anything but happy and talking to my FS is like talking to a brick wall...

    It could be any number of factors, but I'd guess it's just pre-wedding jitters and stress. Are you two talking the next day and getting your troubles, worries, concerns out into the open? If you can't communicate then I'd be a little more concerned. But I do find that as long as you can be open and honest without purposely hurting each other it will work out.

    Planning a wedding can be really stressful. I know a few couples who needed counseling during that time. Are you both willing? That might be an option, and the counseling could help you start marriage with better skills too. 😊

    I'm so very sorry. It sounds like you need to take a break from wedding planning because the stress of planning seems to be taking a toll on your relationship. I wouldn't talk with your fiance about wedding planning for at least two weeks and see how everything goes. Wedding planning is very stressful, but it can't be all that you think about, do or discuss.

    I don't think you're alone with this, it's definitely a stressful time for pretty much everyone. Is your fiance willing to go talk to a therapist with you? If so, I would suggest that as an option. I would also suggest maybe taking some time off wedding planning and instead plan fun date nights for just you two.

    I think it makes sense that the stresses of wedding planning can sometimes have an affect on you and your spouse so remember to take days off from it and just be together

    I was going to do an all DIY (down to the food prepared by me and my mom) wedding, but I decided that the stress would be detrimental to the health of my relationship and myself in general xD So now we're doing an all-inclusive venue, where all I need to do is book a photographer once we get our date 100% secured. Stress can definitely cause strain in your relationship. Try to take a day and breathe, and just be together, no wedding talk at all, see how it feels.

    I would take a week off from wedding planning and take each other on a few dates to remind yourself what you are doing this all for.

    I agree with Molly. Take a week or so off of planning. It can be very stressful, and that on top of a world wide pandemic can be a lot for a couple to handle. I would talk with one another about what the issues are and and try to work through them. Maybe a wedding break and spending more romantic time together will help.

    I also agree with Molly. Sometimes it is just all too much, and you deserve a break. I know it helped with my FH and I. We were the same way and basically at each other's throats from stress. But after taking a break from everything planning wise and going out for dinner and just spending some time together talking helped so much. I was able to vent about things that were stressing me out and him as well. It was so much needed and I felt so much better about everything afterwards. I hope this helps girl, you got this!!

    OMG me too. MY FH and I are best friends and love each other very much but life has been SO STRESSFUL lately with the pandemic, him being furloughed and just now getting a new job at my work, me being an essential worker this whole time, me thinking about going back to college....ugh so many things. We both need some help individually and as a couple and I hope we can get started on some therapy soon. I've been having "should we get married" thoughts too, but I know they are just anxiety and depression thoughts, not my true feelings.
