    So I thought i'd post an update...We talked about it all on Friday morning of all times. He was really upset that we weren't speaking. I told him the issues I had with his mum etc. He said he didnt realise how upset etc I was about it. He's agreed to back me up more with things, and will speak to her about inviting HER friends to the wedding. It's helped a lot. Thanks for all the advice. xx

    I hope things work out but him saying he'll do something and then actually standing up to his mother are two different things. I hope he keeps his word.

    Time will tell. I don't think i'd have actually called the wedding off, however I really wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time and decline the money from his parents!!

    Better to be aware that everything might not be perfect until he's shown he's capable of supporting his wife-to-be rather than be over-the-moon now and then let down again.

    Give him a chance for sure but don't get euphoric yet.

    It all came to ahead last night with my fiance, a huge argument ensuded and i told my fiance that i didn't want to get married anymore.

    I'm confused, so you didn't say to him that you didn't want to get married?

    I agree that I'm really pleased you talked, but I thought you were talking about whether to have the wedding go ahead or not. Not that he didn't back you up etc.
    He said he didnt realise how upset etc I was about it. He's agreed to back me up more with things, and will speak to her about inviting HER friends to the wedding.

    Maybe you need to make it very clear in future when you're upset over things. However I can't believe you had that argument and he claimed to be upset you weren't speaking, but still failed to see the reason why you weren't speaking. Even though in the argument to you told him it was his mother.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

  • Hi

    I realise this is a really old post, and you're probably not here anymore but I was searching for something else and came across it.

    Your post nearly made me cry because it sounds so much like my wedding 10 years ago and run up to my wedding. I just wondered how things were going?
