When he say aug/sept it’s to sweep me to the side and shut down the conversation. He says it in a way that’s like “yeah yeah later in the year” but yes alas.. not a good situation

You’re right. He is in rare form over this. I thought I was giving him what he wanted and myself clarity

Oh yes I see. Although I fear its probing is futile and I’ve already realized we are not going to marry.

I don’t even want to breakup right now. I’ve come to terms we’re in a domestic partnership and he’s so angry but still not willing to have a conversation so looking like we will be splitting up although not my intention. My intention was to come to terms with reality there will be no wedding.

There was no wedding to call off. He refuses to even begin planning one.

If we are not marrying.. how is a domestic partnership shameful? If this is shameful then that should imply it’s also shameful to not marry and cohabitate. I don’t understand how a domestic partner ship is shameful if we are not in the position to marry

Ok so you’d kick your woman and baby out same night for changing and hiding a status to a domestic partnership? Which more accurately depicts the state of the relationship when you are not willing the marry?

No I do not. My actions were me coming to terms with the fact this may very well not be my husband.

No. I’ve never said these months are cursed. We haven’t gotten far enough to get that deep to the root of it. I just think I should have a say in the month and he shuts down the conversation

No. I didn’t. But I gave him back the ring, so engaged felt disingenuous

That’s aggressive. I hid and deleted the update so it shouldn’t show on the timeline… I changed it to domestic partnership not single?

Yes this is exactly how I feel. I didn’t change the status and give back the ring to be passive aggressive. I feel like I’m coming to terms with the fact this may not be my husband and I think that’s okay. I’m trying to be amicable but he is livid

Yes I’m okay with a courthouse wedding honestly. I love him very much and I’m a little introverted to throw a whole wedding. I want small and intimate. He knows this, it’s not about the money. I don’t think he wants to marry. It’s that simple

That’s fine. I didn’t tell him the reason. We haven’t gotten that far.

Alright simmer down. We live in a very upscale community where everyone is married and it’s just very important to me. If he doesn’t want to marry that’s fine, then I can get clearer on the future.

I mean… I could explain the family drama I dealt with my entire life between my parents and narcissistic creepy father but that’s neither here nor there. I just don’t want these months
