Any advice?

Original post by divabride

It came to my attention that I've been under a lot of stress from wedding planning, and FH didnt understand why. We ended up arguing about it (in front of my sister) and it was never really resolved. Later, I asked my sister if maybe I went about it the wrong way. She said no, but by the way we argued one thing was for sure. I was doing all the wedding planning and fh was getting a free ride. Of course he didnt understand my plight because he's not in my situation. She said I should give him some 'wedding' responsibilities so it relieves me of some stress and it also shows him that he's been taking me planning everything for granted. So I took her up on her advice and gave me the Limo project, and the passports project. Well, two weeks later and he hasnt started either. I ask him just about every day, have you made any progress? Its always some lame excuse like 'oh, i checked out a couple of websites'. What should I do, and how should I approach him? Without getting into an arguement, what should I ask?

Me too! I am also in the same boat. Just asked him to do limos and tuxes, and get some info on the honeymoon. Yeah right!

I have decided to do it all myself...It is easier than nagging him constantly! I have also invlolved his own mother in the nagging...doesnt help!

I give up, he will just be at the alter in a tee shirt and jeans we will arrive to the church by walking, and our honeymoon will consist of a trip to west bumblef***

Again, I think I'm the minority. But then again, I haven't given FH huge tasks like selecting limos. I've given him smaller jobs like remove the Made in China sticker from the favors, cut out flowers for the placecards, etc. I make the decisions and run them past him. I usually get an OK from everything I've decided on, so I think this is working welll for me.




Made in China sticker. Thats hilarious

We lost out on travelers insurance because DH didn't feel the need 'to act on it' right away ... The guys have no clue. They need direct orders, no leeway
'Call XXXXX Limo at 516-xxx-xxxx on Monday at 12 noon. Ask this, this, this and this? Let me know what they say' That they can handle .. but say 'handle limos' ... well you are just asking for waaaaaay too much!

Awe.. sorry to hear your stress ladies!! FH has really planned most of this wedding!! Before , during and after I was sick. He's been an angel. I should have him give the other guys lessons!!

He should be on here complaining about me unless he has already done that!!!
