Cancelling wedding

K Jackson, on February 15, 2020 at 11:44 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 7
My fiance and i are suppose to be getting married in 2 months time, we have a 8 month old daughter together and i have a 10yr old son from a previous relationship. Our wedding is overseas so our guests have already booked there flights and accomodation already, deposits on the villa and vendors have all been paid, my hens night is in less than 6 weeks and my bridesmaids have all paid for that.
Our daughter was born 11 weeks early so right from the start iv been dealing with alot, and the last couple weeks its hit me like a tonne of bricks i felt like fiance didnt show much interest in the wedding, i feel like i possibly have post natal depression, so iv booked in to see a therspist to help myself, but fiance wants to postpone the wedding and says cancel it but stay together until were happy again. Im so heartbroken i just dont know how i can stay with him after this, on days i was feeling down id think about how excited i was to marry him and become his wife, the feeling id get when id picture us standing at that aisle made me so happy..... now i no longer have that.
If hes not happy or cant c himselc marrying me then i 100% dont want him too, but he cant understand why i cant stay with him, i have things arriving daily in the mail for thid wedding, i feel like its opening a whole new can of worms by cancelling but staying together, if he cant love me at my worst how do we get through this? He said we might get married again one day, we have a beautiful daughter together but hd still cant commit to me? How can i trust one day years from now he decides ok hel marry me now but doesnt changr his mind again. For me marraige is a lifelong commitment lf two people who love each other, i only wanted to do this once, he wants to stsy engaged just work on our happiness, bt everytime i see the ring i think how could you propose and claim u love me so much but cancel so close? All our family and friends whov spent so much money to be there. I just feel so hurt, humiliated, ashamed and 😭

    I'm very happy that you're seeing a therapist for yourself. You may very well have post partum depression.


    Maybe you should also see a couple's therapist? He should definitely be more supportive of you right now.
    Unfortunately theres no right answer. You just gotta figure out what is best for YOU and your children. So I hope you can figure out what that is with therapy.
    I'm sorry that this is what your going thru.

    A man truly in love will love you at your highs and your lows. I’d suggest seeing a therapist together. Idk your situation but if possible, getting a babysitter and creating that time to do things just the two of you.

    I'm sorry you're going through this. I do agree with one of the previous posters that you both should do couples therapy. I do agree he should be very supportive right now but some men just emotionally don't know how to handle when women are going through stuff. It definitely also seems like you are going through something too. I understand what you're saying but there has to be an underlying reason why he is now saying this. Also you to have to really consider that people already booked their flight so if you can cancel the wedding a lot of people going to be really upset because they may not get their money back. Maybe ask your therapist could he come in because I think you two need to talk a lot of things out. I hope the therapy works out for the better regardless of the outcome. But I do hope you both can continue on with the wedding and have a successful marriage. I will say if you two are having issues it may not be a bad idea to postpone the wedding until you do have everything resolved. Maybe even before the therapist don't get into a fight but just calmly ask him why is he now wants to postpone the wedding and to be honest with you. I agree with what you're saying in that if he's questioned being with you and you're questioning if you can trust him in the future that is not a good start to a marriage.

    Breathe girl. It sounds like both of you are stressed and exhausted! It sounds like your fiancé WANTS to marry you but could be feeling absolutely overwhelmed right now (or feels like you are). Please see a couple’s counselor to discuss right away to figure out what’s best for you both and the guests who already booked their travel arrangements.

    Hi, therapy is always a great step towards a healthy life. May I ask how has you fh dealt with the difficulties of your child's birth? Could he be holding onto a lot of emotional issues that he is afraid to address? He may be hurting like you, but doesn't want to show it so as not to hurt you more. He says he wants to be happy together with you. A wedding may be a lot for him right now. You both went through and are dealing with a difficult situation, however, the way that you both process this is clearly different. Communication through a therapist could really help to bring you back to a grounded place.
