in Wedding Woes
howdy all,  -  background - my wedding day is just over 70 days away. my master's degree graduation is even closer. i also work full time and just lost a very close family member. i live 6 hours from my wedding location and family and friends so im doing all the planning (and paying) myself. my fiance works 2 jobs while attending school full time...needless to say we are under a lot of stress and we seem to more disconnected than ever. is this normal? is it normal for a couple to bicker more as the wedding gets closer?...

    To answer your question: Yes. Bickering is not a big deal. You're both in extremely stressful situations right now. This too shall pass.

    See, other beebees? This is an ACTUAL woe.

    It's normal to bicker more when you have a lot of stress.  Between school, work, and wedding you are both stressed.  Try to take a little down time- a movie, a walk, dinner.  Something to get out a little bit.

    Yes, it is normal, esp with your situations. But you do need to take a step back and find the time to spend together, whether it be an evening, afternoon or whatever floats your boat. I think it will help. We felt this way a few months ago as well, I was working crazy hours and FI was going to bed or in bed when I got home. Didn't get to see him in the morning, either bc I was so tired. We took a minute and realized that we weren't spending time with each other and started doing our date nights just for us again and it has really helped. I pray for you, it will get better soon. Hang in there!

    I went through this exact same thing. Except it was my fiance who was finishing his masters and working, and I was in school and working 2 jobs. Seriously just try to make the most of the little time you have together. It will pass, and when it does, youre going to feel even more connected because of all that you have accomplished.  In the meantime, accept that it kinda sucks (for lack of any better word). Wake up a little earlier even if its only to drink a cup of coffee together. :)
