What can we do?

My Fiance and I are having trouble getting along. We just recently moved in together and cant stop fighting over the littlest things it seems we’re not as compatible as we thought we were. We just bought a house together so breaking up is out of the question but we’re both so unhappy. Due to get married in April, I’m seriously having second thoughts about this relationship but love him to death. I cried when I went for my dress fitting because we had a fight prior to the meeting. I cried my first night in my new house because he yelled at me about something I can’t even remember what. I have a 2 year old daughter from a previous relationship who calls him ‘dadda’, they’re very close, and I also don’t want to break them up – I’ll rather work my butt off for this relationship to work as it once had. What can we do?

When you move in together as a couple there is always an adjustment period of just getting settled. Its still very important for two people to continue to remember you may both need a little individual space after moving in as one. This is a new arrangement for your partner and a big responsibility owning your home. The best advice I can offer is you need to both arrange a time to just sit and talk to each other. Maybe your partner is stressed over money or feels overwhelmed by the move and a wedding on top. Just try maybe fixing his favorite food one evening and arrange a babysitter for your 2 year old. You need to talk to each over and ask him if anything is bothering him. Communication is the key to any successful relationship. Hope this helps

Thank you buttercup - I will try that. I just hope it isn't too late already... We haven't been living together a month and already he's threatening to sleep in the spare bedroom.. Wish me luck - L
