unimpressed bride
This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Cool your jets
Today, it's been two weeks since I got married. It's also two weeks since my husband got cold feet about moving in together, because he thinks the sudden change would be too emotionally distressing for his cat. FML

I honestly can't tell which ones more of a pussy. Your husband or his cat.

Tell him it's either his kitty or yours.

Hang in there, OP. Eventually, that cat will grow up, get a job or go off to college, and stop freeloading.

I actually do think you should have moved together at least 2 year before getting maried, but that doesn't take away this really sucks, I hope these are not excuses! Good luck!

I agree, I couldn't marry someone without living together for a period of time. You never know what minor annoying habits your partner could have. They could hang the toilet paper the wrong way, leave their dirty towels on the floor, etc.

while I agree. in some cultures moving in before marriage is not okay. for me its fine and actually wanted, my fiances culture says its not okay espicially because they think it means for sure we are having sex before marriage. so my fiance wont move in till marriage because of his parents.

Sure, there are plenty religous/cultural/moral/personal reasons why couples won't live together before marriage. I'll acknowledge that. I still firmly believe you don't "know" a person fully until you live together.

Actually, research has found that living together before a couple is engaged or married is associated with less happiness and commitment in a relationship and a greater likelihood of splitting up. Even after accounting for factors like age, education, income, and religious beliefs that also affect relationships. I'm not saying this try to change anyone's mind, but rather to let you know that there are reasons apart from just moral/religious to avoid living together before making a formal commitment. Personally, my fiance and I didn't move in together before we got engaged for a couple reasons. First, we wanted a few years after graduating from college to enjoy having our own spaces without having to share it with anyone else. Second, we didn't want to move in together until we were sure it was the real deal because we didn't want to end up in a position where if we broke up one or both of us is having to deal with the stress of moving on top of the heartbreak. And it is possible to have a very good idea of someone's habits and lifestyle without living together if you spend enough time in each other's homes/traveling together. You don't have to live together to know if he/she snores or who's an early riser or who stays up playing video games til 2 in the morning, who leaves their towels all over the floor and who has theirs impeccably pressed and folded every time, (insert whatever other example you like). Again, not trying to change anyone's mind, just pointing out that there are equally valid reasons apart from religion and morality to choose not to live together before marriage.

I just put my cat on a plane and flew her 5000 km. she's fine. If you don't have dogs, he needs to get over it and bring the kitty.

With the Ceasar Milan and the My Cat from hell guy out there for help, the guy is just being a bitch. Cat will be fine, marriage prob not.

It actually depends on the cat...you can't expect a fragile persian kitty to not freak out about being inside of a car. I have one and i know from personal experience that my cat doesn't easely shut up!

There's not going to be a time when it WON'T be a "sudden move", so no it doesn't depend on the cat. It'll depend on the cat on how long it will take to adjust or if it even needs time, but the move has to happen at some point.

So, this suddenly came up the day you guys got married? Wow, that's gotta be a curveball.

I don't think the cat will care where it lives as long as it gets food and a keyboard to sleep in when somebody is using it.

I just moved with my cats and they peed themselves since they were scared. they still haven't forgiven me. maybe he really is worried about the cat?

My sister's cat gets carsick and hates riding in cars and will get mad at her if she ever forces him to go anywhere.

Vet trips must be soo fun for her

the cat might be really old and he might actually be really worried how the change would affect the cat. the sudden change might stress it out. but it seems odd that the cat wouldn't know her already.

It doesn't matter. That's his WIFE. The person you just pledged your life to trumps an animal. Bullshit.
