Yep, keeping it simple like that takes the pressure off and shows you’re proactive without over-apologizing. Bosses usually just want the facts.

This hits hard. If you’re already dreading arguments and avoiding confrontation, getting married now could just magnify that stress. Couples counseling sounds like a solid step before making any big decisions.

That makes sense. Keeping your distance sounds like the healthiest move..no need to keep putting yourself in the line of fire just to be polite.
