So, a little over a month ago FH and I started arguing over the same problem we've been having for a while..but he wouldnt let it go and would start a fight about it everyday (sometimes even yelling at me) we dont live together so I went home after the argument and for the next few days every time...

So, a little over a month ago FH and I started arguing over the same problem we've been having for a while..but he wouldnt let it go and would start a fight about it everyday (sometimes even yelling at me) we dont live together so I went home after the argument and for the next few days every time he called me he would bring up the same thing! To make a long story short, I got so sick of hearing about it and being yelled at that I ignored him for a few days and in the heat of the moment I gave him the ring back..but immediately regreted it and knew I made a mistake. I called him and told him I was so sorry and didnt mean it. We went a whole week without talking because he said he "needed time to think about what he wanted." We started talking again a few days ago and even hung out...I apologized numerous times, told him I wanted to fix it. We've hugged and kissed but he seems so distant. I have no idea what to do! I know I made a huge mistake but how do I get him back? Do I just wait?

    Sounds like he needs some space, don't push the wedding on him. it'll take time for him to get over the fact you gave the ring back.

    By you giving him the ring back may have made him feel some kind of way.. just give him some time.. everything will fall in place..

    Others have mentioned it, but I will reiterate it. Do NOT sacrifice yourself to make this right. You have done nothing wrong. FH and I broke up 29 years ago because of his "ex", who turned out not to be so much of an ex. He can talk to anyone, but her, even to this day. He has had 2 other SOs since then, and I could care less, but the bitch from 1985 is out of the picture. He respects that, even though it doesn't make him happy.

    I would kindly And with as much love as you can muster, tell him you are Going to take a week with no communication, for both of you. Tell him once he's ready to talk, he can contact you. I know it sounds petty, but of its his pride holding him up, he needs a taste of what like is like without you. No more pouring put your heart. Only the facts And Never snarkiness, malice or weakness. Showing strength And level-headedness in the middle of a shit storm strikes fear in the heart of any man who plays games. Holding out for pride is a game.

    I hate to say this and you prob don’t want to hear it but maybe you have back the ring for a reason? I know everyone can get caught up in the moment and the stress of planning a wedding but tbh if he kept bringing up an argument and even yelled at you at times then maybe that’s not the person you’re meant to be with… before my fiancé, I was with someone who did the same thing… he constantly wanted to argue over the smallest things and would always yell at me. I was with him for 5 years until I finally realized the abuse I was enduring. Obviously everyone is different and I’m not saying your person is abusing you but I also don’t know the full story. I would take this time to reflect on you as a person and really think about the relationship too. Maybe you two just need this time because if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. But just remember that everyone will work out in the end. As for the wedding, don’t feel pressured to get back to together right away bc it’s in 3 months. Maybe try to see if you can postpone it to save the money?? Sorry you’re going through this and I hope you two can work it out!
