    I know its easier said than done, but try not to be too hard on yourself. I can imagine that this is a really stressful situation. If you over analyse the situation too much you will drive yourself crazy. Just take time to settle yourself before making decisions. X

    I do think it's strange but because there's so much going on, I can see why he wants to get away from it all. He wanted to go with his cousin but he can't go so he said he'll just go alone. Booked a cheap hotel with a pool and gym for him to go and reflect apparently. Plus i think it's a little bit of him being childish as I stayed away the other night without him knowing where i was so i partly think hes doing it to make a point. Luckily im going for drinks with the girls so i'll be distracted. They are telling me to track his phone to check on him though! Hahaha! xx

    He's very angry because you nag? His reaction is disproportionate to what he says is the problem. He's nice over text but nasty in person? Again,not normal behavior.
    There is a serious problem with communication in this relationship and being apart is not going to solve it. Is there no way that he would agree to counseling? He needs to start talking and being honest now if there's any chance of salvaging your relationship. A neutral party might be the key to getting to do this.

    I hate to say it but even after all these posts I still think he's baiting you & you deserve better.

    I have to say his excuse for being angry at you coz u nag is sooooooo poor and again turning everything on you..... Guilty conscience maybe!!! Don't think he has played away but wants to maybe wiv one of the hens & by blaming u & pushing u away to make him feel better about it!!! And maybe him staying in a hotel mite be his chance???
    Just a few thoughts that I hope & r probably not true x

    But still the way he is treating you for wot ever reason is wrong and u should at least tell him so!!! X

    Enjoy a girly weekend. You deserve it. If you find that you're desperately missing him, great. When he comes back you can think about what steps to take. Ask him what you can do. If you don't miss him, or even find it a relief to be away from him, then maybe you need to think further about things. Your feelings matter just as much as his.

    At least he's talking - that's something - and he doesn't want to cancel and says he loves you. You've gave him every chance to let you know it's over and he didn't want it, so there's hope this really is just wedding jitters.

    Like the others I wouldn't be happy with him staying alone at a hotel - after all the fb/hen party stuff. That's a big ask, for you to trust him - but I get it that you are kind of treading on egg shells around him right now. I think I'd go into 'nagging' overload though about it - and he would just have to lump it.
    Keep in mind, if you have to bend over backwards, give in, stay quiet, change how you are to keep a man happy and not angry at you- that man isn't worth keeping x

    have to say I disagree with the phone tracking, if you do that then clearly there's no trust and therefore no relationship, if you're to make a go of this you need to completely decide to trust him and if you can't you need to end it

    This is all just so odd! Weve never had any issues like this before! He told me he feels guilty for whats happening with his cousin and his wife as it all kicked off after his stag do. His cousin apparently had the oppurtunity to do something if he wanted but refused and after was in tears for even letting himself get into that situation. I think the boys like to act like 'lads' when theyre together and out do one another but do do have hearts deep down. The stress fron their break up is def reflecting on us xx

    PS apparently most of these girls on the hen were either engaged or married themselves too! X

    Why is he guilty? A relationship is between 2 people and 2 people only. He isn't culpable for his cousins bad choices. All your reports of your h2b's actions can't help but make me feel like there is something else going on that he isn't talking about. Something he was dealing with before the stag do and that was brought to the surface because of events surrounding the stag.

    He just keeps saying hes felt like it for ages but going away for a bit made him realise how bad it was. As i said, he said it was me nagging, the fact he feels i need attention 24/7 and feels i don't like him going to see his friends. He said maybe i need someone that will want to be with me all the time and worship the ground i walk on but he's not that sort of person and he loves me but i need to have more of a life without him. I think hes just needing more space or am i being silly?! x

    Did you try contacting him alot while he was away ? Or on a recent UK night out or something ?? What you've just written there sounds like someones taken the pee out of him being under the thumb or on a tight leash or something..

    When H2B's mates took the pee out of him for not going on one of their stag do's (because he couldn't afford the ridiculous amount they were spending) they said he was making excuses, that I had his balls in my pocket etc etc... He then went on to say he was going to go out with them on a less expensive night and that I should go out with my mates more blah blah blah... Granted this only lasted 3 or 4 days, not weeks.. But it does sound very similar :-/ xxx

    There's a little part of me that wants to log into this thread and read that you've posted " You know what, I've told him to Pee Off and come back when he does want to worship me".. but that's by -the-by

    With my rational head on..
    In his defense, possibly in the lead up to your wedding, you've come across as needy - asking him stuff, talking wedding, planning stuff together - all perfectly natural imo - maybe it has felt suffocating and made him look at you differently to how you are usually. Could be why he's bolting for space - and once the wedding is done things will go back to normal and he'll realise it was all wedding related

    Can i just say i think that its amazing that this is " me nagging, the fact he fells i need attention 24/7 and feels i don't like him going to se his friends. He said maybe i need someone that will want to be with me all the time and worship the ground i walk on but he's not that sort of person and he loves me but i need to have more of a life without him."

    so let me ask a few questions ..

    why does he think you need more of a life with out him ? ( read as ..... I want more of a life without you )

    Why do you need to have someone with you all the time and worship the ground you walk on ( read as i dont want to be with you all the time and dont worship the ground you walk on )

    the biggest thing is why is he turning this round on you .....

    tbh i would be giving him a deadline .......how many more days are you going to give him so he "has some space" ..... he needs to grow up ,grow a pair of b@lls and be honest

    I really hate to say this, but am gonna anyway, but what is this man on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You two have been living together, you have been a couple for a while, you have a house together, this wedding is a piece of paper that should be bringing two people closer together, not forcing you apart.

    The fact he is so angry at you, is absolutely disgusting at this stage of affairs, and I would not be putting up with it, and I now that is much easier said than done. You are just over a month away of becoming husband and wife, and he is acting like a complete WOMBAT!!!!! Devils advocate on my shoulder here, why is he staying in a hotel with a gym and a pool five weeks before what should be the best day of your lives.

    You should not be being put through this Rachael, and if he was any kind of grown man, he would not be doing this to you either, especially if he loved you.

    I know you don't want to hear a lot of what we are saying, but do you really want to marry someone that is saying these things to you, and get into a marriage????? If he is being like this now, what might he be like in 6 weeks, 8 weeks time????

    Again, same as my ex told me when he wanted to break up. " you need someone that can support you", "you want to settle down, i dont", "you are still young and should be with someone who isnt boring".....

    It took me to scream at him and ask him if he wants to be with me yes or no.

    I know your scared to do that because you dont want him to say "no".

    Believe me, its worse filing for divorce within a year because you hate each other by then.

    please dont let him do this to you anymore. YOU ARENT THE PROBLEM!!!!!!! I promise :) xxxx

    I have point blank asked all these questions over again and he was very sure of his answers. He's even text me today about remembering to pay the registrar?! He's also openly talking to his friends about the wedding like there's nothing wrong! Ive decided to leave it until Sunday evening, give him his night of space etc and see if i notice an improvement, if not then i'll just tell him i cannot carry on like this and that he needs to start telling people it's off xx

    i really don't think he is going to cheat at the hotel, i think you are right he wants to do a tit for tat - you went away now its his turn...he is obviously being an idiot to you but its up to you what you want to do. After all, you know him best whatever anyone writes on here is speculations as none of us know you or know you as a couple. Wait til the tantrum is over, after the weekend demand that you get the answers...if he is still carrying on after the weekend i think you really need to think about your options (cancelling postponing etc)

    Good luck! xx

    i'm glad you've decided to take the bull by the horns hun, even if does mean we may have to wait until sunday/Monday to see how you are and whether we need to smack him one or not, like some of the other's have said this is the first thread I check so I can see how you are, I hate seeing another person so upset and it really get's my goat when they're being blamed for something when the person pointing the finger is really in the wrong.

    Wow, just caught up with this since last night hun.

    What on earth is he on blaming you for nagging that is making him behave like this? The boy needs to learn about proportionate reaction!

    On the other hand though, hubby in the 3 to 4 weeks before the wedding did have some seriously moody moments and I did have a go a few times about whether he wanted to marry me just because I was fed up of his moods, we're now obviously happily married and since the moment we said our vows he's been back to his happy loving way, relaxed and just like the man I fell in love with and chose to marry. I think that with us literally having just moved house 5 weeks before the big day, the house still full of boxes, being fed up with work and some pre wedding nerves he just behaved occasionally like a complete knob.

    My point being with my little story there is that maybe he is worried, stressed and fed up with a number of things and that picking on your apparent nagging is his way of justifying his behaviour. At least I hope that is the case.

    I did ask hubby last night for his views after reading your posts to him (just yours, not the other b2b's otherwise I'd be reading all night), his honest opinion was that your h2b has a bad case of pre wedding jitters and still loves you and wants to get married. I hope hubby is right, he's usually good at reading into things.

    Fingers crossed for you hun that it all has a happy ending but if it doesn't we're all here for you!

    I hope you're right Indreamland. I know I was awful for weeks when I had the jitters, I realise now how horrible it must have been for h2b. Ok I wasn't nasty and angry like him but I did become very distant and wouldn't let him near me. He says that's what worried him in the first place but obviously now it has reversed! He's better tonight, were actually sat watching tv together for the first time in almost a week and he's talking to me like normal. Will see what the weekend brings! And those of you wanting to give him a slap..he's apparently staying at a holiday inn near Bristol tomorrow..be my guest!! :-p x

    have just read all this...

    firstly big hugs... no-one deserves to be treated like this.

    I wrote a big post to you, but then decided to delete it, as obviously I don't know you and him personally...

    Can only write from my experience - similar thing happened to me (but we weren't getting married).. in fact, he said almost exactly the same thing as your man said to you and he said I needed counselling because of the way I was - which, in fact I did go to, turned out to be the best thing I did - 3 weeks into the counsellor and the counsellor said that it wasn't me that had the problem it was him and the way he was acting was classic man (not every one of course) way of getting me to finish with him as it made him feel better... in this case, I found evidence that he had been with someone else (worse in some way - it wasn't a girl it was a chap!!).

    You may sure you take care of you - there's lots of good advice here - (and lots of offers of slapping lol)...
