The following day was Christmas, and her fiancé said basically nothing to her, and he was still very angry. She did ask him several questions, and he only replied with a word or two at best.
They did end up going together to her fiancé’s family’s house for Christmas, and they both put on smiles and pretended that nothing was the matter between them.
They managed to get through the family Christmas without anyone guessing there was a problem, and then they began their drive home together.
“I try to talk to him on the way home and he is still angry about it and tells me that I challenge him too much and he wants a traditional housewife or a deadbeat who lets him do what he wants,” she said.
The day after Christmas, her fiancé got the stomach flu and so she left him alone all day. She did call her sister and mom to let them know that they were done and she decided to move back home.
“I start to envision a new life for myself and feel excited to live close to my family as I have lived away from them for 8 years,” she revealed.
“The next day he starts to feel better from the flu and we talk for 2 hours. We talk about all the problems.”
“We then spend the next couple of days reflecting and talking about everything that has gone on. Fiancé realizes he cannot live without me and our dog.”
“He promises to change and says he will do anything to make it work. I tell him the things that need to happen for me to even consider it: medication, therapy, quitting drinking (he’s mean when he drinks), anger management classes, and couples therapy.”
She was floored that he brought up doing all of this in order to make their relationship work. The very next day he did go to the doctor to get medication for ADHD and anxiety.
Several days went by, and her fiancé began pitching in around the house, which is something he had never done before.
