I need advice. Me and my fiancé have been together for your years together and two engage, I set the date for the wedding ,and he said its was ok. So I started planning the venue for the reception, I even get two vendors answers me for appointment for the venue, so as two days ago I told him we need to sit and set the budget for the wedding.

And he tells me oh you are going too fast, we have a year to plan everything, and later he says it wasn't the right time to get married, that we didn't have a house, yet, where to live, and that he prefers have a house and then get married. I'm devastated I love him very much and that hurts me, but, I don't want a man marry me, because he felt pressure to do it , has to come from him. Am I right ?

    @Maria

    He doesn't have cold feet; he just doesn't want to be engaged right now.

    If you want to save this relationship you need to return the ring to him, and tell him that you understand that things were rushed and that neither of you is ready for marriage. And ask him to hold onto the ring until the two of you have had counselling, have discussed your goals openly and are ready to move forward. Make it clear that you will not accept the ring again until that day comes.

    If you don't want to save the relationship, return the ring and move on.

    Agree with @FoD, return the ring

    If you don't know what financing/refinancing is, you shouldn't be doing it.

    ETA: She's just missing punctuation guys... "so my fiancé, boyfriend at the time, *lent* me his credit card"

    I feel like WW forums aren't real anymore. I feel like every post is a troll.

    Whooooooooooaaaaaaaa there, Nelly!

    I take back what I said. I don't think you could have rushed anymore even if this all happened at Mt. Rushmore.

    You need to talk with him. You need to talk alone. You both need to speak with a couples counselor.

    You're at the end of the book and he is skimming the table of contents.

    Are you two living together? How is the rest of your relationship? Do you get along with each other's friends and families?

    He never had warm feet to begin with. You suckered him into proposing.

    I honestly don't think he got cold feet, but you two definitely need to sit down and plan your finances so they include a life that's organised beyond the wedding. He's not wrong, you know. Those kinds of financial decisions will set the budget for your wedding.

    Edit: That's what you get for not reading comments. I take that back. You went all Daenerys on him with "Bend the knee" and you're now wondering why he's not on the same page? Really?

    @feminizationofDolphin of everything I have read your advice, is the one that is more reasonable and I agree with you, I already talked to him, I told him that I would not talk anymore about any wedding or anything like that, that if he wants to marry me he will tell me when he is ready, the thing is I don't have the whole life to wait.

    That doesn't sound like cold feet, just different priorities. You want the wedding to be the first priority and he wants the first priority to be finding a house. You need to talk and decide what works best for you both
