I'm so frustrated right now. My Fh wants to postponed everything which is driving me crazy cause our wedding on Nov 26, 2016. From the beginning he wanted just go to the court.

I'm so frustrated right now. My Fh wants to postponed everything which is driving me crazy cause our wedding on Nov 26, 2016. From the beginning he wanted just go to the court. I expressed to him how i wanted to share that moment with my grandma because shes the only person whom i have a very close bond with and she's very ill. He said he understood and agreed we could have a wedding. Which we decided on a backyard wedding at my uncle's house where my grandma actually lives. He has a lot of land. We've already sent out our wedding invitations. I don't know how to cancel with everyone. I'm so embarrassed. I've call the bakery this morning, but no one else. We're buying a house right now we close on Nov 18. He's says too much going on this moment. Which I understand not being pushy. But this the second time the first time he proposed he took it back. This time he says he wants to get marry but he feel liked the time is not right

Please tell me some advice

    You are so much better than me, first time was a mistake. Second you are two weeks away let the joke be on him.. Call everyone and Get your buns out of there. You dont have to settle are wait for when he is ready, you have feelings and concerned just like he does. Did you state your feelings in this matter? Seems he does not car about yours just his

    I'm so sorry. One time is one thing - people get scared, they get cold feet, whatever you want to call it. I've seen couples come back from that. But twice? As much as it hurts, I think you made the right choice.

    I'm sorry you are going through this, Candace. You deserve to be with someone who cherishes you and is as equally committed to the relationship as you are. If he is not willing to do that, there are plenty of other men in the world. I am sorry for your children that they are experiencing this as well.

    Do you have anyone in your life who would be able to take over the phone calls to guests for you? A friend, family member? This way you don't have to go through the emotions of talking to every single guest about this.

    I think you need to reconsider buying a house together. He can not commit to you as he has now backed out twice. Life is stressful all the time. He's showing you when it gets tough he is going to RUN. You have a lot of thinking to do. Good Luck!

    Pre marital counseling. My FH wanted to buy a house first but new that having a wedding was important to me. We are going to do both. He should have told you a year ago he wanted to postpone not this close to the wedding. This is a major red flag. I wish you the best of luck!

    Counseling sounds like a great...I personally wouldn't want to commit forever to someone who can't fully commit to me. Guys don't mince words. He's telling you his feelings. Get to the bottom of things. A wedding is just one day but marriage is forever. Make sure you guys are on the same page where it counts.

    I think you did the right thing. Honestly even before I saw your update I was about to post that if similar things had happened with my husband I likely would have walked away, at least for a while. At a certain point you're either in or you're not. I can't even imagine buying a house with someone or being engaged to someone (let alone married) if they weren't 100% in it. My husband and I bought a house together before we were officially engaged but it didn't worry me because I knew we were in it forever no matter what. You deserve to feel safe and secure in your relationship and know you have a partner who has your back. Better to wait longer for it than to settle! Either see if this can be fixed if you think it can or start fresh and find someone who you can have a better life with.

    I'm sorry you are going through this! It sounds like you made the right decision for yourself and your children. That speaks volumes for your character.

    This man is no good......sorry, but I had to say it. Take care of yourself and your kids and live a great life without him.......what does he think you and they kids are, a game? He's selfish and cold, IMO!

    I'm sorry about the outcome but I feel it was the right thing for you to do. He was never going to commit and I honestly believe he's known for quite some time that he wouldn't be able to do so. For him to wait two weeks before the wedding to finally confess to it is a bitch move on his part and you and your kids deserve someone who is willing and ready to commit.
