Has anyone else been feeling really depressed about wedding planning?
I guess I feel like we have no real support. FH is from a military family and they are extremely hands off. As well as being spread out through 3 different states. His brothers are groomsmen and have been really sweet and generally very supportive, but of course being men, don't really ask questions about planning or care. His older sister is off the rails and I do not and will not have a relationship with her, FH is working on setting boundaries with her as well. His parents just seem to be off on an island. His mom went wedding dress shopping with me but that has been the extent of their involvement. They are waiting to book plane tickets and a hotel because they just repaved their driveway.
My family has never really been that supportive so I shouldn't be surprised- yet I guess I thought they would step up a little. All they have done is complain about Covid and say things like "If this thing even happens." My sisters have refused to schedule anything for my bridal shower because "if the state shuts down again they will lose money on the reservation." One sister insisted on throwing my bachelorette. I told her I would like to go out to dinner and bar hopping. I was told no because she's a mom and that's not what she's into. She instead was trying to book a pleasure party at my parents house. I told her this was not something I was into no matter the location and I would not be attending. It was also set as girls only.. when most of my friends are male and I said I wanted them there for both. Once again I was told they would talk to me about it later because of Covid. Keep in mind I have to take off work and travel for all of this and they refused to address or plan anything until 30 days before.
My FH tries to be supportive however I have done 95% of all the planning and organizing and just feel really freaking alone in all of this most days. I feel like none of my friends or family care. I wish we would have gotten eloped instead of spending 24K for people to complain about covid or just be MIA for us. We have both expressed that we feel no support from our families to them, however, nada.
Guess this is more of a vent, I've just been feeling really blue lately.
