Too much stress causing friction

littlesensitive · 07-07-2009, 02:05 AM

Hi all,

I am just venting....I am so stressed, its taking a toll on my relationship with my fiance. We are getting married in a few weeks' time, my fiance has lost his job, my job is causing too much stress but I can't leave as I have to keep it in light of the recession and my fiance not working, and we live in a foreign country away from our family and friends. There is so much uncertainty in our life at the moment, what with him losing his job and us not knowing where we'll be in 6 months time. We seem to be arguing every week and its wearing us both down. I feel sad and yet the wedding is so soon and we can't even seem to be enjoying looking forward to it...We love each other very much but i just don't know how to control all this stress....

Anyone in a similar situation?

Thank you

Life is hard, and times get tough. But remember your getting married, you have eachother to support and lean on and you WILL BE ok

There are many people in the same situation, and its hard, you just have to try and relax until the worst does happen if it ever does.

maybe there are things you can do to help relieve some of the stress. help your fiance look for other jobs whether its going out or looking online. Talk to friends and see if they know of any openings or of any people looking to hire.

Also try to do something you both enjoy everyday for an hour. May be its working out, listening to music, reading a book, whatever will help ease the stress....or do some activity together to help you bond. The rough patches will come and go in life, but as long as you have each other to lean on and appreciate one another, rest assured everything will be okay.
