Hello! I'm sending you a warm hug from afar.
As the wedding approaches, you may feel anxiety, panic, and a lack of confidence. You want to be understood and supported.
Embrace your inner unease and lack of confidence when facing the important life event of marriage. Identify the needs behind your feelings of unease and panic. For example, you may be afraid that you will not be able to adapt well to your new roles as a wife, daughter-in-law, and mother after marriage. This fear may stem from a deep desire to be accepted, understood, and supported.
You can learn to get along with your own feelings of unease, panic, and anxiety. When you understand and accept your emotions, you will see that they are driven by a desire to do better and be better at your various new roles. This desire comes from your deep love for your family.
Right?
Tell your husband your true feelings and thoughts. Express your hope for his support and understanding. Let go of the expectation of being the perfect wife. Entering into marriage is a major first step in your life. No one can do everything perfectly the first time. Allow yourself to be imperfect, as long as you have done your best. Being imperfect and lacking does not mean you are not good enough. Everyone grows into a good enough self through being imperfect again and again.
This is especially true in a marriage.
You've already recognized your role as a newcomer in your marriage. You're aware of the need to grow and adapt. Believe in yourself. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to be true to yourself with a full heart of love for your family.
I'm Lily, the Q&A Museum listener. I love the world, and I know it loves me right back!

I understand how overwhelming it can be to face such a major life transition. It's okay to feel scared and unsure; these feelings are part of stepping into new chapters, and it doesn't mean you're not ready for marriage.
Feeling afraid is natural when facing big changes like marriage and possibly starting a family. Everyone involved has their own adjustments to make. Try focusing on the support and love around you as you step into this new phase together.
It's really tough to see your independence shrinking as you prepare for marriage and a potential family. Remember, it's also an opportunity to build a new kind of personal space with your partner, where both can grow and thrive together.
The fear and anxiety you're experiencing show that you're thinking deeply about this huge change. It's important to communicate these feelings with your partner and future family. Together, you can find a balance between the past and the new life ahead.
