Tips on not taking stress out on my fiancé?

Question

I’ve been with my fiancé 5 years and have been under a ton of stress the past 6 months - finishing college program, taking care of our toddler (he’s full time first responder), planning a wedding/overseas honeymoon, family drama, and whatever else. I admit, when i get stressed, I often take it out on him & get in an irritable mood & nag him to death. How do I stop this?? I’m sick of nagging & so is he. Any tips to stop worrying 24/7? 😞

Answer

Take a step back. Think of what you say before you say it. There is NOTHING wrong with walking away. Tell him you are in a stressed mood and may be crabby BEFORE you get home because a lot of times, if you call yourself out and he knows, itll stay at bay. He’s not your punching bag and you’re going to push him too far one day. Instead of nag, ask. Instead of yell, sit down and look him in the eye evenly. If you don’t know how to help yourself, how is he going to know how to help you? It’s all about communication. Life will ALWAYS be stressful. Right now it’s school and wedding. Next year it could be a house and moving. A baby and a dog. Etc. there will always be something. Try to be positive about all of the things you are doing and if something has to take a back burner for a week or two, so be it. It’s not that it’s not important, it’s just not a priority and that’s okay.

Answer

What I do is I hold my tongue when I know I’m not in the right frame of mind, I find something to do that’s monotonous like washing the dishes, and I think about all the things that are going right either in my life or just in that day. It calms me down and makes me feel grateful which is kind of the opposite of being stressed and angry.

You want a tip? Remember back to Kindergarten- treat people how you want to be treated. Or they will leave and find someone else who will treat them with love and respect. The end.
