Its interesting how the gut and the brain come from the same tissue early on. And gives another reason why thinking good thoughts makes you feel better.
I think of feelings as just another input, like sensory perception. We don't always interpret our senses "literally." For example, we don't believe that a photograph of something is really the thing it depicts. If you extend that to the fiancee example, it's the same deal. Maybe there is in fact nothing amiss with your fiancee, but the funny feeling can tell you at least about what's going on in your own mind... just my two cents.
