Calling it off over unhelpful partner?


Hello everyone! I’d love some advice about whether this is typical wedding planning stress or a larger problem… I 25F am engaged to my partner (24M). I did not want a big wedding, but he and our moms did. So now we’re having a wedding that’s 2-3 times the size I wanted in spring 2022. I work, am in graduate school, and studying for a further professional exam. He has a full-time job. Recently, we had to pay a deposit on our venue. I was reluctant to do so with the uncertainty of COVID and made it very clear to him that if he wanted to continue on with a big wedding, he needed to step up and help me plan because I am overwhelmed. He emphatically agreed. Despite this, he was not able to complete any task unless I specifically delegated it to him even though we have a checklist from our wedding planner. I found out this past weekend that multiple things I thought he was handling had not been taken care of, and he bailed on our plans to sit down and do some planning together to play video games instead. I’m wondering if this is just me being overwhelmed and petty or if I should genuinely be concerned. Any advice or guidance is appreciated.Edit 1: we have had many conversations about him helping more with planning. This was not the first time. Just the most blatant. via /r/weddingplanning https://ift.tt/2XlO1V9
