Hi all,
my boyfriend and I will finally close the distance soon! We are planning on getting married and starting living together on September of this year. We are both super excited and over the moon about the whole thing, but we're also experiencing a lot of stress.
The wedding will be a very simple party, but it's turned out to be more difficult to organize than expected (the wedding will be in my country but none of us is currently living there). There are a lot of decisions to be taken and the paperwork is such a burden. Plus, I'm four months away from graduating and I'm feeling so overwhelmed by everything. We are both anxious people and do not generally handle stressful situations too well, and I've realized that all these decisions and deadlines are affecting our conversations a lot.
We often argue about (stupid) things or are rude to each other. Even if we do talk a lot about how we feel and we end up apologizing for all the silly discussions, all this arguing-discussing-apologizing cycle is eating away the little time we have available to skype. And this makes us even more stressed.
Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with the closing-the-distance emotional rollercoaster?
