He’s Considering Calling Off His Wedding, Since He Has Serious Doubts About His Fiancée
In just a few months, this 32-year-old man is supposed to be marrying his 31-year-old fiancée, and they have been together for nearly four years so far.
While he can say he’s in love with his fiancée, he’s considering calling off their upcoming wedding. Over the last six months, he’s grown concerned about several things. Actually, it’s kind of a laundry list of issues in their relationship.
“Gradually, I’m beginning to question whether I truly want children at all,” he explained. “While she’s very eager to have kids ASAP, I find myself hesitant.”
“Stories about the challenges of parenthood have made me rethink my stance. I worry about raising children in a world that might not be kind to them, and I fear inadvertently doing them harm.”
“I don’t want to constantly second-guess myself, only for them to feel neglected or mistreated later on.”
But the topic of kids is hardly the only issue holding him back here; their living situation is becoming a point of contention as well.
He’s no longer interested in living in their rural spot, but his fiancée refuses to live in or close to a city. Actually, she’s totally opposed to moving at all from where they currently reside.
Their location has no amenities, and it’s irritating to have to drive long ways to get what he considers to be basic things.
Although he tried to bring up compromises with her, it’s kind of impossible to find things they both agree on.

“Communication during conflicts is another issue,” he said. “Sometimes, simple disagreements escalate unnecessarily.”
“For instance, a recent incident involving our dog led to a heated argument. I worry that our communication breakdown during such moments is indicative of larger issues.”
“Her tendency to unload all her stress on me at once is overwhelming. I struggle to process everything quickly, which often leads to further tension. While I’ve tried to express this to her, the pattern persists, leaving me feeling drained.”
That’s not all, though. The list goes on, with his fiancée nonstop complaining about her job adding to his stress levels.
He’s tried to say she should explore a new position, but she won’t even look because of the pay. So, basically, every night involves his fiancée venting about her job, which leaves them no room to try to relax and unwind from the day.
Another cause for concern is that they don’t share the same opinion on the environment. While his fiancée is all about conserving wildlife, that’s not important to him.
His fiancée wants to invest more money into preservation, but that’s hardly a commitment he’s willing to make.
“On a more personal note, I feel like I’ve sacrificed a lot for this relationship, including distancing myself from friends and hobbies I once enjoyed,” he added.
“While I attempted to end things previously, I was persuaded to stay, but doubts linger. Overall, I’m conflicted about whether to proceed with the wedding.”
“I’ve kept these concerns to myself, fearing judgment or confrontation. I’m simply seeking unbiased advice on whether my doubts are valid.”
He’s left wondering if all of these things are a good reason not to go through with the wedding and if it’s too late at this point to call the whole thing off.
What advice do you have for him, and do you think he should call off the wedding?
