About To Be NewlyDead
Engaged, home, Lazy/Unhelpful, New York, USA | Romantic | January 1, 2019
(After dating a year and a half, my fiancé and I are planning our wedding, or rather I am. My husband mentions he wants to hire some of his friends who run a photography and DJ business. Other than that, he generally says, “Whatever you want, dear.” All my efforts to get him more involved with any other aspects come to naught. I ask him to contact his friend while I do all the other bits. As the wedding date comes closer, I realize he hasn’t contacted his friends; he’d expected me to do that, as well, since I was the one “planning everything.” I freak out a little because it is so close to the wedding and his friends are now booked up. I scramble to find replacements for the photographer and DJ. At this point my husband-to-be catches on to how stressful the planning has been, and the following conversation occurs.)
Fiancé: “You are really stressing out over this, aren’t you? You know you don’t have to do it all on your own.”
(I feel the ball of stress that has been sitting in my chest for the last few weeks loosening a little bit.)
Me: “Thank you, I—“
Fiancé: *continuing his thought* “Just ask my mom for whatever help you need!”
(So close, yet so spectacularly missing the point.)
