Fiancee today was in a very rotten mood. Got to her place at about 5, had plans to go out after dinner to a local auto show, which she had previously been excited about.

However, we were supposed to go earlier in the day, but other chores of hers took longer than expected.

She was obviously angry with everything, upset how the day unfolded and things took so long. Kind of irritated me so I am sure I did not help the situation as much as I could.

During venting, she says that there was just too much planned today, and that it will be easier to plan this stuff out once we are married and under one roof (we are still living "seperately"). She also said it would because we would not be "pretending we were married."

This kind of shocked and hurt me. I am not sure why, but I did not consider us or the time we spend together to be pretending.

I have seen our relationship as growing together, learning to spend time together and about each other, and working towards incorporating our lives together.

Pretending to be married just sounds to me like faking things, or fibbing, or being untruthful.

I would never call anything I do in our relationship "pretending" and I feel like she just labeled our whole relationship lately as pretending.

I feel like I am blowing this into as bigger thing than it is, but also concerned it is an insight into not good things.

Maybe she has PMS?

Just curious, how long have you been engaged?

Too early in the month for PMS.

Been engaged since June of last year, known each other since Aug 2009.

You must have a lot of time on your hands.

And when is the wedding planned for? Maybe she is just ready to be married and tired the "limbo" period.

She should've said 'playing house.'

28 days to go.

I think we both are a bit tired of the stress going along with the planning and preparing.

Sounds like she is extremely unorganized and thinking you will help her organize things? But she should know that once you start living together, when you combine your lives together, it will be even harder to stay organized. Before you get married, I'd make sure she doesn't have irrational ideas about what post-marriage life will be like.

Well there you go, she's just ready to be married and probably just stressed because of the upcomming wedding.

I wouldn't read anything else into it.
