Hi Everyone...I'm new to the forum. I don't like to burden anyone with my problems so that I thought I would vent right here.

I love my fiance a lot. Aside from what I am about to say, he has many wonderful qualities...otherwise, I wouldn't stick around. There is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for him, but emotionally, he is sucking the life out of me. He went through a horrible divorce almost 20 years ago and I am almost certain he still has "issues" from that. He requires constant reassurance and is highly sensitive to any criticism even if it's constructive. When there are no problems, everything is great, but if I need to raise an issue about him personally, he becomes defensive and starts blaming me. It's always something I am doing that causes him to react a certain way. I don't get it. When I make mistakes, I own up to it and I apologize...I don't try to make excuses. I feel like I have to walk on ****ing eggshells.

We are supposed to be buying a house together, but I found out he is in the process of doing it without me. He hasn't told me about it so I am like "WTF?" I'm really sad and I feel emotionally beaten down. I have put in some much into this relationship (and he has too), but I have my limits. I am really at a low point in my life, but I am now taking steps to help myself get through this.

Thanks for reading. I will be praying for everyone on this board.

Take care.
