My fiance 39m and me 39f have been dating/engaged for 15 months. We have been planning our wedding and had a date set and plans in order.

I have a daughter from a previous relationship who is getting ready to graduate and move out on her own.

He wanted to delay the wedding a few weeks to get everything in order. I didn’t take the news well. I questioned and was upset. This was also our very first fight the whole relationship as we’re best friends and communicate through whatever. He just wanted me to trust him that he would set a date when we were ready with getting my daughter settled and our house settled.

First he asked for space, then he asked for no communication until he gets back from a work trip out of town but he doesn’t know when that will be.

I had already bought and started moving things into the apartment we were going to share. And when I mentioned coming to get things, he said if that’s what you need to do and we take a break then that was up to me. I said I don’t want to do that. That’s when he texted, he would be out of town and would maybe call when he got back but no communicating until then.

I’ve also bought my wedding dress and all wedding items.

I’m struggling and he knows this. But I’m also not taking responsibility for a break up. What does everyone think?

I’m left to wonder if he just freaked out, needs space and we can come back with clear heads and make clear communication plans and \*\*TL;DR;\*\*
