That does sound like good advice. When I got married I had this thing about constantly checking the clock. For our honeymoon I promised to leave my watch at home.

At the airport, my new wife saw that I was just bursting with out being able to see the time on my wrist. She had secretly brought my watch in her purse and handed it to me. As she is now my "x", I look at that as one of the most understanding and compassionate actions she did during our 10 year marriage. I'm sure there are others, but the minute by minute comment jogged my memory of this experience.

Does your fiance know about the anxiety? Is it the 22 days or the actual day you are concerned about? or both?

One thing as I think back I wish I did was to have some kind of "look" or "sign" to tell her that I reached my limit on something. There could have been some kind of plan where we excused ourselves from the situation for a period of time. Or something she could do that would reassure that everything was going to be fine.

Not sure if any of this helps...
