My husband started a fight the day before our wedding to get out of it. It didn't work.

My (now) husband and I planned to get married last minute, impromptu style. We had been engaged for a year or so, and the last couple of months of that time I started to get an gut feeling that something was wrong between us and that he didn't want to go through with the wedding. I confronted him a few times on the topic and every time he told me I was just being paranoid and that the reason he was so stressed and distant was because of work. I was starting to doubt my gut and even my own sanitation. The gut feeling wouldn't go away though so I straight up asked him if he wanted to postpone the wedding, and he said "yes". This was a month before our planned wedding date.<br><br>He told me that the reason he wanted to postpone the wedding was because he was nervous I wasn't going to be "happy" on our wedding day, that he wanted to go all out and get a lot of things for me that I wanted since I was such a "good girlfriend" to him. I immediately started shaking and had to hold on to the table because I just knew I was right and that it was the complete opposite, but I was gonna vibe with him and see how long he'd drag me along and how far he'd take it. I waited for him to make another suggestion of a new wedding date, he never did. We didn't discuss it anymore and he kept making excuses for why he couldn't go out and do things for our wedding. From here it was just a waiting game to see how long he would drag me along for. I continued to throw out random dates in what I thought to be far in the future so that he could see that it wasn't determined or concrete and would have an easy time declining. I really had no intentions of getting married anymore, but I wanted to see how long he'd drag me along for and just how far he'd take it. <br><br>Then I got a call from him about two weeks later, telling me that he had a change of heart and that we should go through with the original plan and get married the following weekend as planned. That is, if I still wanted to marry him. It was very strange and I refused to go through with it because it felt like he was gaslighting me and wanted me to go through the motions of a wedding just to get rid of some "duty" he had, and that I would not have a good experience with him. I just knew that something was off! Anyways, he showed up to my house that night and asked if I needed help with anything for the wedding and reassured me that we were going to go through with it and I shouldn't worry that he was just freaking out because of the stress of the wedding. I agreed to go through with it again, but inside I was still so concerned that it was a ruse. He helped me get my hair and makeup done, got all dressed up, then we went to the venue. Everything was so, so weird and I was so stressed that entire night that I truly don't remember half of it. I do not doubt that he was up to something the entire time, and that he's an asshole. Anyways, I am now married to this person.
