FI's attitude is sucky

[big3n09]

That's what he's like, just make sure your there! I'm gonna be therr alright, with all the stuff I liked and wanted. He is gonna try to have some input when it's way too late and gues what, TOO BAD!

I think this is my new favorite forum. My latest frustration is my fiance who hates to talk about the wedding. We are high school sweethearts and have been dating for 7 1/2 years. He proposed the day we closed on a house that we bought together. (Talk about commit-ment-phobe! We have a house together and he was still hesitant about proposing!)

 

So now I'm planning and he really wants nothing to do about it and talks crap any time anyone asks about the wedding...he is on board for destination, but i think is overwhelmed with everything going on in life to even want to think about our wedding. Anyways- I'm discouraged because like any normal girl I want my FI to be elated!

I totally understand, we have pushed our date back one reason is because he felt overwhelmed. I'm just going to do things without him, I will leave his attire up to him. If he wants to get onboard later and it's still something for him to put input his in on then great, but for now I am going to continue planning. I bet if some astronomical amout of money comes up short they'll pay attention, hehehe!

my FI only cares to plan the parts that interest him...he loves to design and he's good at it so I had him design our invitations. Too bad it cost us way more than it would have otherwise plus I got stuck actually putting it together...but whatever. He enjoyed it and it kept him involved. Maybe try assigning something specific for him to do. Sometimes I think men don't want to be involved because they're afraid they'll either screw it up or because they think we have a specific vision that they are interferring with. Maybe you can have him do up the play list??

Ha funny! FI & I just had this arguement today!! I guess guys in general just don't care about the little details of the wedding as much as we do. I picked out his pants and ordered them! He finally got his groomsmen's gifts because we were in the mall and I told him just to DO IT ALREADY! So, now most of his things are done.. he just has to find his shirt and he is done. Don't feel like you are alone in this.. you are not! We are here for you girl
