I Am Engaged

That's good. I know, for a wedding everything has to be right. It is stressful. I read somewhere that the way to deal with it is NOT through compromise -- because that's the way for nobody to be satisfied with anything, like dishes you both hate.

The way is negotiation. If I get this my way, you can have the next thing we disagree about your way.

Do you have a date? How long have you been together?

I wish you much happiness.

You've seen that I've read some of your other posts. I was wondering about you being lonely when this big thing is going on in your life.

Well, I'd be interested to hear about it. I don't know if I'd share it. Do you want to message me and tell me? I have to go for a while, but I'd read it after I get back. :)

I think it's more because of the pressure of the wedding. We don't typically have this much trouble coming to an agreement.

That's great advice, thanks! We've been together for 3 years and are planning on getting married next year in May.

I only feel lonely because I haven't met anyone who understands my spirituality. I have no one to share experiences with.

Is that typical of your relationship as a whole, or just due to the pressure of getting the wedding right?

Weddings are for the bride, not the groom. But it's tough when family is involved. Good luck.
