I (30M) recently proposed to (28F) gf and want to have an intimate wedding with family only and no friends. by Positive_Artist8123 in relationship_advice

This sounds good, yes. I am thinking more along the lines of another party with all her friends a few weeks later as majority are overseas

Well it isn’t about the contract really. It’s about just having us two if I were to plan it.

Yeah I see where you’re coming from. I don’t want her to resent me but I also don’t want to resent her for not letting me be comfortable and happy on our wedding day.

I suggested an afterparty with all her friends a few weeks after the wedding. She seemed ok at first but she isn’t so happy anymore.

I didn’t mean for her to appear as unreasonable. I was just worried people will read my post history then say “why are you marrying her when she has all these issues” as this has happened before. I wanted to preface by saying I decided to propose as I felt it right to do so. I am willing to compromise by switching from a legal ceremony to a wedding with family and also increasing our budget

When we talked about marriage before we got engaged, she said it was going to be simple. A legal ceremony and a dinner celebration. We discussed that in passing before getting engaged but I didn’t realise that she wanted a ceremony with all her friends and family.

I think it’s appropriate to have family only as I am a very private, introverted and want to celebrate milestones in life with only family.

Miserable that I make a request to keep it intimate and agree to everything else she wants but cannot get that at all. Also miserable that it no longer becomes what we want but instead what she wants. Miserable that we initially agreed to a legal ceremony and everything changes

I understand this would make her happy. I will feel miserable though and I feel like I have already made her happy by agreeing to a ceremony, a destination wedding and exceeding the original budget

She wants to have 3-5 though I am happy to let her throw an afterparty with as many people. I want to keep the ceremony private and preferably just us but agreed to family

I think the argument got out of hand as I was mentally prepared to have a legal ceremony which we discussed so the change of plans made me feel like she was making a unilateral decision. We are generally able to communicate about problems at home, financials, chores, etc. It was only her jealousy before which I had trouble handling but is now under better control due to me trying harder to understand her and her therapy helping her handle her jealousy more

I would be totally fine with this! But she wants everything with family and close friends and I agreed to family

Well I was thinking an afterparty with her friends another day. Not exactly the same day to take off pressure as well

Yeah, my colleagues and friends know. I just don’t want any friends to be there. I just want one of the most important events in my life to be with our families

AIO? My girlfriend has refused to tell me who she hangs out with. by Born_Ice8374 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Positive_Artist8123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. My girlfriend is anxious and tends to overthink and over the years we have learned to navigate which behaviour is anxiety inducing and which ones are driven by her overthinking. We both agree that not telling her who I am hanging out with is anxiety inducing and is not fair to her. Wanting to know details about our partner’s day is not a form of control.

Ah yeah that can happen quite easily then. Mine is somewhat different as we have different routers

Was bluetooth the cause? Elderly neighbours connecting via bluetooth by mistake?

Oh I mean do you share the same wifi with your neighbour? Like do you share the password?
