Confessions/Vents

Let's hear 'em!

I confess that I am pretty stressed out right now, and not being as nice to the people around me as I should. 

I vent about FI's family.  They are nice people who support us.  But I have such a fundamentally different world view than they do, and that world view difference definitely extends to wedding-related things.  Our different opinions have definitely become a source of stress and anxiety for everyone.  I just keep trying to remind myself that once the wedding is done, this should get a lot better.

I'm so irritated with my student loan situation.  For whatever reason, even though I've taken out plenty of private loans with the same bank in the past, they are making the process extremely difficult for me.  I'm not even sure I'll get approved at this point, which means I'll have to put the rest of my tuition on my credit card, which is REALLY bad.  I already set up payment plans with my credit card just in case but I really don't want to go that route.  It's getting too late to try and apply for any other private loans, either.  UGH, graduation will not come soon enough!  But then when I say that...I'll hopefully be going to grad school in the fall and the process will continue.

I'm pretty pissed off my MIL showed my dress to one of my bridesmaids last night. I don't mind her seeing it, but it irritates me for two reasons. 

One, I wanted to show all my BMs the dress at the same time.  My own MOH hasn't seen the dress, but this BM (who I only chose to be nice to my brother-in-law who was begging me to pick his fiance) got to see it.  And I wasn't even there.

Two, it makes me wonder if MIL tried it on like she wanted to.  I never got to tell her no for any reason.  I wasn't even home.  She was babysitting our baby and texted me "I showed [BM name] your dress.  She likes it."  I didn't ask.  I'm not going to ask.  I'd just rather not know and pretend she didn't.  Ignorance is bliss, right?

mrsbunyip - some people just don't think sometimes.  I know my mom is very excited about stuff too but I would hope and pray that she would ask me before showing my dress to others.   Maybe just let her know to ask you first, and that you'd prefer to be there.  Also let her know that you were going to show all the BM at the same time. best of luck with that.

sammichele - i'm having issues with my school in general, I was hoping to take my 2nd residency in June but they are telling me I have to wait until Sept which pushes back my internships and my graduation date.  I was extremely bummed out/upset yesterday about it.  Slowly coming to gribs with it tho.

@bee&bee, after she texted that, I told her, "stopped showing people my dress." She replied, "But she's your BM." Then I told her I wanted to show all of them at once.  She said she's sorry.  Still mad though-- mostly about the possibility she tried it on though.

mrsbunyip:  I'd be mad too!  Even if it was my own mom!

I'd definitely be annoyed! I would tell her that you're worried something will happen to it and absolutely do not want it taken out before the wedding. I'm tempted to say put a lock on the closet but geez, that really shouldn't be necessary in your own home!
