How to tell my fiance I need space

User Profile
I been with him for 2 years now and engaged 1 year. we are a young 20 year old couple and have similar values in life. I love him very much and dont want know one but him. I moved away to college and that put a strain in our rlationship. We argue more these days and I feel very stressed. I failed all my classes and is going to have to go to a community college because of me stressing over him. I do admitt, I always call him and questioning him. but he have his flaws to. He palys the video game all dame day! and every time i want to talk on the phone, he cant get off to talk, he have to stay on!!! It stress me out because i dont see that in my future with him. everytime i ask him why he cant just talk to me instead of doing both, he yells and says things like " i do what the f*** i want, and because i want to!" i find that childish.also, i would always have to remind him to do things and he takes it as im trying to control him when im not. Im just that type of person tohelp ppl and plus he forgets to do things. Im not saying that i want to break up, i just need to worry more about myself. i need to find myself and have free time.i admitt my problem is that i always call him and worry about him but do anyone hav e any advice on how i can slow it down, while not given him the hint i want some space. Beacuse when he notice what im doing then he is going to get mad and think i dont want to be with him anymore... i dont know... any help?

Hi BeautifulB and welcome to ehealth: My best advice is not to move into the marriage scene before you are sure that you are making the right choice...IMO, when two people can't get along and want to be together before marriage, then there is something deeper bothering them...Ever since I met my husband I have wanted to be with him...And may I add I will until the day I die....Take care...

Tough question...It seems to me that the two of you have not had time to grow up and learn life...Maybe you got engaged too young?...Or were not ready to settle down....I met my husband after I had dated a lot...I was 19 and he 20...Wasn't engaged until I was near 21 at which time we got married later that year...He was in the service...However, I did date other guys until I was near 20 or slightly after....Both he and I had a chance to grow up and know what we wanted out of life...What I am saying is to be sure that you are both ready to settle down...IMO, you must do this before marriage and not after....If you need space then talk to him about it...In many ways it sounds to me like neither of you are ready for marriage...Please understand that this is just my opnion, but I would be negligant in not speaking it....Marriage is a big undertaking...More than rings and what goes with it...And yes, we do accept flaws, but must love the person with all our heart and soul to begin with so the flaws really don't count...You see to this day I would fly to the moon with him...And this would be a one way ticket......My best to you...Take care...
