i don’t think i can marry him. We called off the wedding .

Me and my fiancé got into a huge argument. We both have children with other people and none with each other. He has a son and I have a daughter. I wasn’t raised by my mother or father but my granddad which lead me to having abandonment issues. I feel like everyone is usually temporary in my life. He knows this but yet when he gets mad he shuts me out and starts retracting. This makes me very anxious and nervous about our future. Every time I express this concern to him he brushes it off. When I bring up how much my grandad means to me and how I need security he gets offended. He says I shouldn’t talk about my grandad when talking about him. He says I am going to cause him to hate my grandad. I’m very unsure why my grandad is such a trigger for him. They have never had an issue , my grandad has never said anything bad about him behind his back or to his face nor is my grandad in our business. My grandad is actually the one who is paying for our wedding. This raised a huge red flag for me and I don’t think I want this anymore. Am I over reacting . I don’t want him to be my dad… my dad is just the only people I know that has never walked out of my life.

    You are definitely NOT overreacting. I think you did the right thing. He doesn't seem to understand you very well. He listens and knows your triggers, but still does things that hurts you. He's also weirdly jealous or insecure with the relationship you have with the person who raised you. These are major red flags.

    All of your feelings are valid. It sounds like he is insecure. Maybe you each could try counseling to work through how you feel about the relationship. You could try couples counseling, but it might be best starting on yourselves separately.

    I think that you both have some things to deal with before marrying someone. He needs to not let his pride get in the way and I feel you should seek counseling or therapy to deal with the abandonment issues bc you have to learn to control those feelings and not compare him not talking to you while angry to him abandoning you. What you may feel, he isn't seeing it or understanding it and he will never understand it bc he hasn't lived it. It also sounds like he may have some communication block when he is angry or upset. Communication is key! Follow your heart though. If you feel it isnt right, then dont go through with it. You may have regrets later. Wishing the best for you both!

    I'm sorry that happened. At least you had that conversation before getting married. Calling off a wedding is so much less disruptive than a divorce.

    Sounds like there are some serious communication problems.

    I wish you well.

    Your feelings are 100% valid. I was in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship before I met my fiancé. The poor guy had to help me get over the trauma from it. Still have it to this day but he understands or at least tries to. Take care of yourself first and then look for a partner. I’m so sorry you had to go through it.
