Wedding-related Stress a Month Out

Isabel, on May 3, 2021 at 9:40 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 4

Any advice in how to handle family members who are experiencing wedding-related stress and are taking it out on you? For example: Family members are picking fights with me about specific details that are up to my FH and I, family members don't agree on day of schedule because it doesn't work for them, etc.

    Just don’t deal with it. “This is when we need you there.” If that doesn’t work for them, that’s on them to figure out, not you. Setting boundaries is important and their stress isn’t your issue. If they continue to force the subject/complain, let them know that you gave them your answer and won’t be discussing it anymore. End conversations if necessary.

    Set boundaries. If they cross those boundaries, cut contact.

    This!!! You don’t have to change your day to fit their schedule. They’ve known about this date for how long, and if they truly cared they’d find any way to make it happen. Don’t budge and stick to your plans that you and your FH picked together

    Stop talking about details with them.

    The wedding is at x time, at y place.

    Hope to see you there.

    And if they want to stick their nose in, change the subject. Every time. EVERY time. If they won't take the subject change, end the conversation.

    It's none of their dang business.
