post wedding blues?

So our wedding did not go as planned or hoped for and now my husband and I are dealing with some post wedding feelings we weren't expecting. We are arguing a lot, he is angry at the amount of debt we are in from the wedding, all of his family that took off from the wedding right after eating, and our bad honeymoon among other things and with our roommate still in the picture husbands best friend my new husbands anger issues I feel ignored and put aside. Anyone else dealing with or dealt with this stuff post wedding?

    So sorry to hear about the wedding not being perfect. Care to share what let you down?

    I'm still 10 day out and I'm not sure if I can give any solid advice with post-wedding stuff.  I'm sorry it's not what you guys hoped for! :( 
     
    But I am a graduated pro of dead-lock arguiments! Some books like '7 Principles of Marriage' By Dr. Gottman helped us with arguing productivly... Maybe read up on that, so you can at least communicate in a way that won't hurt each other and have it be helpful at the same time?  We ended up going to their couples workshop this summer. And can say that some of their advice was useful enough where we hardly lose our tempers even in the worst of the situations.

  • I'm so sorry you didn't have a "perfect" wedding day. 

    I've been married for over a year and there are still some things that went "wrong" that bug me when I think about it (stuff that some of my family members did).  But the good things helped outnumber the bad.  Can you try to focus on the good things?

    Feel free to vent on the board whenever you want :::hug::: Sometimes it helps to have it all "out there," so it's not all bottled up.
