Was anyone else’s engagement less than blissful?

I keep reading about how the engagement is the most “exciting” and “blissful” time of your life. And yeah, for two days everything was rosey and there have been a few nights where we’ve stayed up late and dreamt about our wedding - but really? Life just went on, and right now life is stressful as heck.Is an engagement supposed to cover up all that? All my books are talking about enjoying the giddy, oh-so happy “just engaged” vibe for a month. Yes, I’m still looking forward to getting married, but until then I have deadlines and bills and lots of frustration and stress related to the pandemic. A ring doesn’t change that for me.
