Re: Issue with fiance..
Hi BeautyQueen,
You came to the Life and Relationships Forum with the hope of getting reasonable advice. Sometimes you don't want to agree with people's advice because it goes against your personal wishes. BUT...After reading ALL the responses that you get......you have to reflect over the advice that MAJORITY of the people are giving you.
If people are CONSTANTLY nagging you or criticizing you........you will get defensive and turned off. If someone always complained about your negative qualities.........you would be upset too......especially if the NEVER focused on the positive things. Perhaps the way that you talk to your fiance is irritating him.
When you talk to ANYONE about their negative qualities.......start of the discussion by mentioning the person's good and positive points. And then try discussing your concerns using "I" messages. When you make comments like "You did this" "Why can You do that" "Why are You so"........the person get's defensive and things get messy. So, reflect over the way that you are communicating with others because maybe a change is needed.
In my personal opinion........you should reconsider if you still want to marry this guy because he sounds VERY immature. It is easier to break an engagement that it is to break a marriage. Think about this. You are not even married yet..........and he's already giving threats of "breaking off everything" with you. So what will he do when you both get married? If he's already losing control of his tongue.........what if he threatens you with **divorce **you in the future? He ONLY needs to make the threat of divorce THREE times to end things.
And do yo REALLY want to live through the mental stress of someone making threats to you all the time? This is not love, BeautyQueen. A guy who loves you would have more respect for you. The question is........DO YOU HAVE RESPECT FOR YOURSELF AS A WOMAN? If you do, then you shouldn't be putting up with this juvenile behavior.
Why does he keep giving you threats? I'll tell you why. He does this as a way of controlling you. He thinks that if he makes these threats.......he can get you to do whatever he wants. That's not healthy and life is too short to deal with this on a regular basis.
It is foolish of him to say "Why did you ask me that question?." As his soon-to-be-wife..........you have the right to ask him any question about his actions especially if they might be jeopardizing the relationship. If he wasn't flirting with this girl......then he shouldn't have gotten angry. He should have been calm and open about what he was doing. The fact that he got angry could possibly indicate a guilty conscience on his part.
If this immature/selfish/controlling/pathetic behavior has been taking place for a long time........please end the rishta while you still have time.
*On the other hand.......if you STILL want to marry this guy........then you need to
*
1) Communicate the positive points and not just the negative.
2) Tell him that a marriage can't take place without open and mutual communication and it's unfair of him to prevent you from talking about your concerns while allowing himself the liberty to do so. Tell him that in the future he needs to give the other person a chance to discuss their points because that shows respect.
^ Although if this is not making a difference on him.......don't stick around.
