I'm so frustrated with FH...

Our wedding is a little less that 3 months away and we seem to be fighting all the time these days. We'd fight about details of wedding stuff that I would have been happy for his input months ago but now I feel the time crunch and I don't want his input because it just slows getting thing done. I guess I've given up on perfection and strict etiquette rules and am happy with it's 'pretty good' standard so that I can continue to get things done, but each step along the way FH is helpful but a bit too helpful/too perfectionist to be moving along efficiently. I'm know that I should think of the bigger picture that I'm marrying the one, but the picture gets fuzzy each time we fight.

THanks for letting me vent.

Re: I'm so frustrated with FH...

My husband was also very involved in the wedding planning which drove me nuts.....I was used to my two brothers who could care less what kind of dishes their wives picked out or what color dress the bridesmaids wore. You get the picture.

We were bickering alot but I promise you will get through it. We decided to split responsibilties....he was incharge of wedding night, honeymoon, limos, rehearsal dinner & of course tuxes for the guys. This kept him busy and out of my way.

I took care of invitaions, photography, video, flowers, etc....(but after we both approved out budgets). It seemed to work and we stopped fighting.

I hope this helps.

I know what you mean. I told FH i was thinking of blue maybe a purplish color dress for BM's. He says no purple, he doesn' like it... well what do you care what they're wearing???? SHEESH!!! PITA!

You need to sit down with your FH and have a long discussion. This is not a joke anymore. He needs to understand what needs to get accomplished. WRite a to-do list and include EVERYTHING even 'suspend mail during HM' 3 months and NO music? He might not get what he wants because he would need to book a band months and months in advance. Also, not all of your guests want the Stones, so he needs to understand that.
Honestly sit down with him tonight and tell him how stressed out he is making you. Tell him that you need to work together on this, not go back and forth fighting. How is that a way to start a marriage?

I'm sorry FH is frustrating you.... I'd definatly sit with him and have a nice talk.... maybe you should give him 'special' things to research... you know, something that HAS to be researched, rather than him costing you anymore time.... I'm sure everything will come together... Chin up!

My FH is also very involved, but the difference is that he has been from the start. We've kind of developed a pattern - its almost like - pick your battle. Invariably whatever we are discussing is more important to one of us. Once we put things in focus, it really helps
