Today, my friends and I held an intervention for my fiancé. He's been talking and behaving like an "old-timey cowboy" non-stop for the last three months. Our wedding is in a month and he refuses to marry me if I can't accept his "life choices." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after months of arguing and conflict, I broke up wIth my fiancé. Or at least, I tried to. The wedding's off, but only until he can convince me to want to marry him again. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that he was having second thoughts on our engagement. Instead of just calling it off, he took me to a fancy restaurant and took a public poll on whether we should get married. The majority said no. FML
Today, my fiance finally began seeing a therapist, after months of my begging him to. The therapist convinced him that he and I had "irreconcilable differences" so now he's asked for the ring back. FML
Today, my friends staged an intervention. I'm not on drugs, I'm not an alcoholic, and I own my own house. My car is paid for and my job pays well. Apparently, I need an intervention because my life is not where they want it to be, which involves me being married with children. FML
Today, I tried to talk to my soon-to-be-husband about how he needs to take a more active approach in his own life. It devolved to him screaming at me and putting words in my mouth. This has been going on for six months. FML
Today, at our wedding, instead of saying "I do", my fiancé paused before saying, "I can't do this", stepped down from the altar and proposed to my maid of honor. When she obviously refused, he ran from the venue bawling. He's not returning my calls. FML
Today, I got engaged. My family is already placing bets on how long it will take for my fiancée to "wise up and ditch" me. FML
Today, my fiancé called off our engagement after I contested his belief that women stop having periods after they are married. FML
Today, my fiancée called off our wedding out of the blue. After a long discussion about it, it turns out that last week I voiced an opinion about the wedding she didn’t agree with, and doesn’t want to spend her life married to someone who’s going to argue with her every five minutes. FML
Today, my fiancé refused to talk to me because I'm "an alcoholic". I only started drinking like this after we moved in together and he brought me alcohol every day, because he's an alcoholic. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Apparently behaving like an old timey cowboy is FROWNED UPON IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

He is just testing you to see if you can really accept him for who he is...or maybe not...

Am I unaware of something that makes it not okay to be a cowboy? I mean if he's doin this, there's probably a reason. Let him work through it. If he still wants the cowboy life, either join him, or find yourself one of them "city clickers".

Isn't it "city Slickers"? Haha.

Hahaha yes. I don't know where that came from. Whoops, my bad.

What's wrong with being an old-fashioned cowboy? *rides away into the sunset*

You don't exactly portray the cowboy look if you ask me. :o

I'm a cowboy at heart, and I am wearing cowboy boots. You just cannot see them.

I don't see how alien vs cowboys fits in with your statement...

Isn't it better that you find out now he is mentally unstable? Instead of 4 years and 3 kids later?

Wanting to be a cowboy and live the CPU try life makes you mentally unstable? Since when?

stupid phone...*country life

no. suddenly becoming a cowboy makes you mentally unstable. it's like suddenly becoming a different person if he wasn't at least slightly country ish.

it does if he suddenly decides to do it when it wasn't part of his personal culture. if you're going to be a cowboy, be real about it.

It's called a dissociative identity disorder.

Threaten to get him a horse, stick him in the stirrups, push him so he's upside down, and send him on his way

Don't hate on old timey cowboys. It could be worse , he could have chosen to take on the lifestyle of a cowboy from broke back mountain . Then you'd really be ****** in the ass !

Who knows. It could be pretty hot. ;) Just kidding. Tell him he can do that all he wants AFTER the wedding. :) It's a stage in life. It'll pass!

Problems are harder to fix after the wedding. Dont assume you can change him, you can't. Make sure you know the person you marry
SadGirl18 16
People are constantly changing. It's up to you whether you want to change with them, or leave. I think the cowboy voice is so much better than an asshole stage. So I don't think it's too much of a problem.

He's a child, u may want to postpone a year, see if he grows up a bit.
