My fiancé and I just got engaged a few weeks ago. We set a date for a tiny courthouse wedding (9/5). We've both been married before and are older (I'm 40 and he's 59), so we just wanted a small celebration.
Problem is, he's already talking about postponing the wedding, and for a very suspicious reason. His ex called him out of the blue last night and told him she's dying from ovarian cancer and has four months left to live. They broke up five years ago and have had no contact in two years. Suddenly he thinks he needs to "be there" for her during her difficult time.
I don't understand what this has to do with our wedding. He says it would be cold to follow through with our plans in light of the situation. I honestly think he's trying to get out of marrying me. :-( And I don't know what to do.
