    Did you find that in the month or so leading up to your wedding that things were extremely tense between you and your FI?

    We have been together for 5 yrs and have always had a great relationship but for the past couple of weeks we can't even talk without getting in some type of argument. And I know I'm so emotional right now that I take everything to heart and he's so stressed that he gets really snappy.

    For example I just asked him if he was working night on the week of the wedding and he snapped and went on and on for 5 mins about how of course he had to work and he never has a day off and I made him keep working even when he wanted to take a leave of absense for the summer. Like simple questions lately turn into arguments.

    And then tonight I invited our families over for his birthday cake and he was all bent out of shape cause he just found out the he has a makeup game for old man softball and cannot go. Seriously I try to do something nice!

    Oh yes.  Yes yes yes, most definitely yes.

    I think it's common - don't worry.

    @Tulip- Okay, thanks! I feel like lately I am under so much stress that I am constantly on the brink of tears and then we are going to kill each other. Ahhh, I just want this wedding to be here!

    Yeah we have both been very sensitive lately. Fighting more than normal and just being on edge. I just think the stress builds up...Im hoping that in a couple weeks things will settle. BTW - can you believe its only 5 weeks away!?

    @clarebee- I know! I can't believe it's almost here, ahhh! Probably the reason for the stress LOL. I just have to remind myself of that person that I agreed to marry cause the man I'm with right now I hardly recognize.

    So common! My husband and I didn't have any huge blow outs or anything, but we were definitely a lot shorter with each other and bickered a lot more. Once the wedding was over, it stopped.

    Urgh, we did :(

     

    Mind you, we never argue, we just don't. But the last 3 ish weeks leading up to the wedding, we did over the DUMBEST things. One day, we got into a HUGE argument about FI slamming paper. I asked him to stop slamming things and he snapped "You can't slam paper!". We didn't talk for 4 hours. Looking back we laugh about it, but not our proudest moments!

    So glad to hear that it's only temporary! I told him the other night, in a joking way, that if he is so impossiblke to be around lately asked me to marry him right now I would say no. And he admitted that I was right.

    It is SUCH a stressful time!  Meeting your needs, worrying about other's needs, issues with money, plus work and life in general!  We have been arguing about the smallest things.  I'll wake up the next morning and be like, "we fought about ICE CREAM?"

    I definitely had a super short fuse and wasn't very attentive to DH in the weeks leading up to the wedding. We got tense with each other the night before the rehearsal and it's just laughable now looking back at it.

    Our wedding is in 6 weeks and we have been fighting ALOT! It makes me feel really sad to think that this time leading up to the wedding is not being happy. I hope this passes. Frown

    Ohhhhh yes.  Freaked me out a little because we never had issues arguing before that time.  I was nervous if it was a sign of things to come or am I seeing a different side?  It was stress about too many wedding details and nerves about life changing.  The arguing stopped once we said I Do.  Honestly looking back I'm embarassed at the ridiculous things we argued about.   I had let myself become super snappy, impatient, and defensive.

    We fought more and bickered more up until the week of the wedding.  Once the week of the wedding arrived, most everything was done and we both agreed we were going to ENJOY that actual week.  Neither of us worked, we had out of town friends and family visiting, most of the wedding projects were done...and we were pretty darn happy :) It was a nice change from the fighting and bickering that had gone on in the previous months.

    I think it is normal, just be looking for the silver lining and try to talk things out as best you can!  :)

    Not at all, however, he was in a totally different state, which I think spared him my b*tchiness =]

    YES. It was really stressful, but it got so much better once we were married!

    Totally Yes!  It got better right before the wedding but we were both on edge.  Unfortunately, I was tense and took it out on him, then he got tense and took it out on me.  So it lasted awhile.  I think it's normal.

    We're definitely bickering and/or more irritiable than normal.  I catch myself getting annoyed MUCH more easiy than normal.  We're very communicative though, which has helped a lot.  I recommend having some in depth chats about what you can both do to try to minimize the bickering.  So far, just acknowledging the stress bickering and trying to be more aware has been SOOOO helpful.

    We fought a lot in the beginning of planning, mainly over his family's 'expectation'. Our wedding is in 2 weeks and we're pretty much have everything done. Now, we just sit back and relax. He's more excited and is so looking forward to the day than I am!!
