Flaky fiancé isn’t pulling his weight

-

It’s gradually dawning on me that my fiancé is not a man to be relied upon. Any time a problem arises – a broken tap, a cranky boiler – he disappears. He has a “work call” and I’m left to sort, and pay, for everything. He looks good, earns money and he’s entertaini­ng but he’s not what I’d call dependable. Should I marry him?

I can already see myself planning our entire wedding and honeymoon on my own.

If alarm bells are already ringing, then you need to listen to them. The man is already irritating you, so how might things pan out in the long term? If he isn’t pulling his weight, then is he going to continue to frustrate you?

If you don’t feel supported or believe that he cares about your mental or financial limits, then is he the groom for you?

Talk to him today and explain how important this is. Suggest ways in which you could work together as a team, but if he continues to duck out, then will he always take advantage?
