What was the most challenging moment you had to face together?

Wow that is intense! That is so great that he went to help support Nepal but I can't imagine the stress you two must have gone through! So happy for you that he came home safe and sound!

My FH was in the military when I met him and he had to go to Nepal to help with earthquake relief in 2015. That was a really hard time because he did not have access to internet or phone very often so I never knew what was going on or if he was ok or where he was. I remember he called me once while I was at work (who knows what time it was in Nepal) and his satellite phone kept crapping out and I remember that I didn't get to say "I love you" before he hung up and I was so devastated. I got a couple calls from the army base to let me know what was going on when he didn't have access to communication and I nearly had a heart attack every time. I can't even imagine what it's like for people who have loved ones in an actual war zone. I'm so glad his time in the army is done - I'm proud of him for representing our country, but I'm also selfish and want him safe and sound with me

Dealing with anything: my ex backing out of agreements, annoyances at work, family whatever. Having him wrap his arms around me just makes it all fade away and makes life brighter.

I would say dealing with members of the family with illnesses, unnecessary stress caused by people who have no business getting involved with the planning, criticized by a couple of people in the wedding party about our wedding social planning, attempting to get legal documentation to get married at a church(which I never got anything back but hassle) and changing our venue as result; having to reprint the invitations. But through it all, we stayed strong and got closer as we both support one another and are there for each other.

Yes!! I'm a true testament to waiting and not settling! So glad I didn't and found him. A true partner!

That is so great that you're helping your dad after his accident and that your fiance knows what you need and helps to ease your burden! True love right there!

That is so great to hear! Mental health issues can be so scary and even though they may not know what to do, the fact that they're there for you and supportive is all that matters! Sounds like you two are perfect together and I'm so happy for you that you two found each other!

We've both dealt with some things since we've been together. My dad left us about 4.5 years ago and because of that, my husband helped my family a lot. He actually moved in with us the day my dad moved out! My mom mentioned in her speech at the wedding how he was able to come in "and take up the head of our table" and fit in with all of us girls. I don't think my younger sisters really know how much my husband did for our family while we lived with them and I think they just came to expect that he would do the things that no one else wanted to. If no one wanted to do the dishes or take out the trash or go pick up something from the store, he would always volunteer to do it. And when my dad wouldn't pay what he was supposed to, he gave my mom more than what he had originally agreed to pay in rent. He was such a rock for us and was always positive and never complained. My husband has supported me in my decision not so speak to my dad, even when my mom tried to force me to. He always has my back.

I was there for him when his dad passed away. His dad lived halfway across the country so he hadn't seen him in about 3 years when he passed. I had been bugging him that we needed to go out and visit and said "I don't want the first time I meet your dad to be on our wedding day." Well unfortunately I never got to meet him and the first thing my husband said when he found out was "I'm so sorry" because he knew we couldn't get that back. It kills me that my SIL got to meet him even though I've been a part of their family longer and that I'll never be able to see in my husband the things that he does that is just like his dad. Neither of us have our dads in our lives for different reasons but we both have each other so that's all that matters.

I would have to say my dad's car accident is something we dealt with and are continually dealing with. Doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel quite yet either. My FH has been so amazing! Every weekend I've had to leave to take care of my dad. So we don't spend as much time together. But after a long day with my dad he'll clean the whole house, so I can just put my feet up and relax! Amazing because most of my trip home I'm usually trying to find more energy within myself so I can look after house #2! This whole situation with my dad has taken its toll on me emotionally as well as he's always there to pick me up when I fall. What I love is we really tackle every decision and make plans together (ok well except for wedding stuff lol? ) We are always there to support eachother.

I'm pretty transparent about my mental health struggles (I think not talking about it only reinforces the stigma!). My fiancée has been my rock and one the most understanding people in my life.
He's held me close when I wouldn't stop crying and couldn't will myself to get up and go to work. Held my hair back when the medication side effects made me vomit. Reminded me what I have to live for and the future we will have together when my thoughts darkened. Goes to the doctor with me, checks up on me always.
I'm just so lucky to have found someone with such boundless love and compassion.

One of the biggest things we went through was when my fiance struggled with alcohol and then he wanted to kill himself. That was one of the hardest things we dealt with. Another would be when his mom had a stroke and almost didn't survive it. Still to this day she is paralyzed on her right side and she struggles now with depression.

I will leave out our more personal challenges, as they were hard enough on us without blasting to the internet....

But my FH losing his job a few years ago was a big challenge. It took a lot of work to get through it without killing one another (money= stress, always), but we learned a valuable lesson about supporting one another, and communicating the good, the bad and the ugly.

My looming sugery has presented a different challenge. I can't say enough how supportive and understand my FH has been in the last few weeks. He has amazed me by coming through in ways I did not expect...it makes me want to cry to think of it. As hard as this is, I feel like our relationship is so strong, and makes me want to marry him even more. It is a sliver lining to the BS that is going on.
