My fiance and I have been engaged since february and have been dating for 1 year 1/2 now. My question is what do I do right now? In the first few months of us dating I found out she has a real difficult time actually telling me what's wrong, or what she feels, because she has spent her whole life just telling people what they want to hear. I thought with EXTREME patience and love, she would share her feelings. Now yesterday she wrote me a letter apologizing and saying she still loves me, but there are a lot of changes she needs to do soon, but told me she still loves me and wants to marry me. She also asked that I be EXTREMELY patient with her. I'm going to be honest, I'm not stuck up, but I feel I treat her pretty well. I give her flowers once a month, always is there for her when she needs help, I can apologize, admit I'm wrong, everything most guys can't do! But I can't get over the fact that I plan on marrying this woman in 6 months HELP ME PLEASE! Should I be worried??I need some advice on engagement help!?
I don't know what type of relationships she had before, but I can tell you this. I was the same way. I had some pretty bad relationships before my husband and it was easier to just cave in and not have an opinion. It took some time for me to express myself. It used to be that I could not out of fear, or worry about having a bad confrontation. I think that you may need to delay the wedding date, but the relationship can work. You are a good partner to notice her problems and be patient for her, my husband was too. My husband and I lived together for 7 years before getting married. It took the first 2 years of living together before I realized I could open up to him without having to fear anything. There were other issues as well because I had been in an abusive relationship before and he was patient enough to let me work it out and be there for me. I tell you, I love my husband more than anything and because he was patient and caring enough I know that he really loves me. I guess it depends on why she feels like she can't tell you how she feels. Was she in a bad, abusive relationship before you? If she was, please be patient for her and try to work it out, it may take a little time. If you feel like either it isn't worth the time it will take or if it's more than that, then it's probably not a good idea to get married. Maybe she should talk to a counselor and find out why she feels she can't tell people what she feels.I need some advice on engagement help!?
First off, put off the wedding. You two are having MAJOR communication problems, and getting married in JUST 6 MONTHS won't help with that at all.
You need to WORK on the communication together. It sounds like you are both young--under the age of 22. You need to strengthen your relationship before diving into marriage.
Take your time--there's no rush. Put off the wedding at LEAST a year and work on your relationship. These problems you have with your fiancee are just going to get worse--not improve.
if she feels she needs to write you a letter to express herself, she sounds pretty emotionally immature. that doesn't mean you shouldn't marry her, but be prepared for her to be difficult to read or to really know. how old are you guys? why are you so ready to get married to someone you're not sure of? if you asked in Feb, why only 6 mos. to marry? try waiting the full year or more. it sounds like she might be relieved to hear you take the pressure off of marrying her so fast
