Hi! I’m looking to see if anyone else has gone through this before or can reassure me that I’m not crazy...
Little back story: my fiancé & I have been together 7 years. We got engaged last fall & are going to wait a couple years before getting married due to me going to grad school. I want to be done with school before I get married.
Now, my future brother in law got engaged 1 month to the day of our engagement to a girl he’s been with for 8 months. I was quite upset at the time because now the family has 2 engaged couples in it and that our special time that I’ve waited so long for is now being shared... they are planning to get married in a year which sucks because we got engaged first but we know we are doing right for us by waiting. Now 3 months later they are buying a house. I just feel as like every time I mention something about our engagement or planning something they come out with bigger news. They aren’t doing it on purpose which makes me feel even worse but I just feel like this fresh new couple and a girl I barely know are having all these big moments and now I feel like my fiancé and I’s engagement isn’t important or as special anymore.
Everyone says it’s still special and the family will be excited for both couples but I just feel differently inside. This isn’t how I imagined my engagement and wedding planning to be 😕 anyone go through something similar with siblings?
