Wow...it seems that you
have a lot to handle being in college, working, and planning a wedding.
I understand how stressful all that is because I am in a similar
situation to yours, only I am not getting married.
I am 18, work part time
while also juggling my full load of college classes, my housework,
my boyfriend, and putting time into my sorority. It's a lot for
any 18 year old, but the added pressure of putting a wedding together
can make even the happiest person explode.
Explain
Your Feeling to Your Parents
It seems to me that your
parents are trying to withdraw their side of the deal because they
are afraid of losing you. They do have power over you by paying
and they are using that to hold over your head. Maybe you should
try and sit down with them and explain your feelings without being
negative.
It's a judgment call
of whether or not you should include your fiancé in these
talks. He will become family, and he is a part of the wedding (he's
one half!!) but he also is not a part of the family just yet.
If
They Still Won't Pay, Find Another Way
Stress to your parents
that you love him and that they knew you were living there. Try
and find out their reasons for doing that. If they still refuse,
you are going to have to find another way of paying for the wedding.
Maybe take out a loan or even postpone the wedding until you are
both financially stable enough to pay for the wedding yourselves.
Then the only people that control the wedding are you and your fiancee.
Try to keep your "flaring
temper" under control even at the most tense of moments. Being one
that has thrown her share of hissy-fits, I can tell you that blowing
your top does not help the situation no matter how good you feel
without that steam holding you down.
It sounds like your fiancé
is under a lot of stress and is taking it out on you. When you attack
him, all the anger just builds up inside of him until it just explodes.
I know of many people that would recommend therapy in these situations,
but that isn't possible if you're in a financial bind.
Have
a Heart-to-Heart Talk With Your Fiancé
Sit down one night and
have a heart to heart talk with him. Communication is so important
in a relationship and unless both sides are willing to talk it will
not work. Maybe fix him his favorite dinner one weekend, then sit
and talk--but NO FIGHTING. If he says something angrily don't lash
back at him. Fighting only makes things worse.
With all these problems
I would not concentrate very hard on the wedding. I would concentrate
more on the relationships in my life. As long as he isn't going
anywhere the wedding can take place anytime.
Good luck in whatever
you decide =)
