Hi,

I have learned something shocking about my fiancé. It has totally made me question whether we should even get married in, almost exactly, a month.

I think it would be beneficial to take some time apart to evaluate things.

I'm shaking literally from the unknown (also have a bad/weird feeling I may be pregnant).

Please advise where I should decamp for a couple/3 weeks.

Might help to know where in the country you are.

a cheap hotel isn’t cheap if it’s 600
miles away.

Where abouts do you need to be?
are you in danger by what you have discovered?

viaprox · 25/07/2022 13:10

London based but able travel basically anywhere

It would certainly help to have a rough idea of the search area?

viaprox · 25/07/2022 13:11

are you in danger by what you have discovered?

I don't believe he would hurt me but yet again he has not been honest with the shocking info I have recently found out about

Are you safe. Can you stay with family or friends.

viaprox · 25/07/2022 13:13

If X is true then he is a monster but he is denying it all and gaslighting

If he hurt a previous partner or has been violent to someone else he most certainly can hurt you and pregnancy is a trigger for violence.

viaprox · 25/07/2022 13:13

I am safe, thanks for the concern

(working out of an office he would not expect)

Travel lodge is likely to be cheaper than premier inn. Just search a few.
single room on a b&b might be cheaper still. Then go get a pregnancy test.
I’d try and find one close ish to family.
In addition I wouldn’t marry the guy or have children with him if anything like this happened.

gunnersgold · 25/07/2022 13:15

Look at air bnb for 3 weeks it may be cheaper

Badgirlgonegood · 25/07/2022 13:16

Premier in in Newcastle could be the cheapest but would cost you more in petrol/travel if you live in London than staying in one in London.

viaprox · 25/07/2022 13:17

My hands are shaking....oh gosh

I want to confide in those I love but only if it's true

Why do I care so much about the opinions of others?

Wherever you go make sure you have every thing important with you - passport, bank details, credit cards, other paperwork etc

Cosmos123 · 25/07/2022 13:19

Is there a friend you can with till you find something for longer.

Take all.valuables and important documentations with you.
Then get a pregnancy test.
Decide what you want to do if the pregnancy is positive.
Bearing in mind if he is a ' monster ' then he will ne in yours and your child's life forever.

Cancel wedding.

Change number.

Get off social media.

Hopeandlove · 25/07/2022 13:20

See your GP, do a pregnancy check - if you can go anywhere - can a friend put you up. Take all your stuff if you can - if things turn nasty he won’t give it back

TeeBee · 25/07/2022 13:21

Airbnb would probably be the cheaper option. Do you need to work in London or can you work remotely?

It sounds as though you're reeling OP. Good idea to take time out. It sounds a good idea to talk it through with family either way. You need support. Are you able to find out the truth by the time you're due to be married? If not, I'd cancel now to give yourself thinking time.

Cosmos123 · 25/07/2022 13:26

Speak to someone in RL to help you with the above plans.

Shitgotreal · 25/07/2022 13:26

Maybe an air bnb will be cheaper?

I hope you find something which works out cheap but also helps you to think everything properly

JimmiChoux · 25/07/2022 13:34

Sorry to read this @viaprox

You need to take a pregnancy test to find out one way or another.

Bigwetdog · 25/07/2022 13:34

Op you need to tell a friend or family member, whatever it is

BlanketsBanned · 25/07/2022 13:34

How did you hear about this, do the police need to be involved. I think you should talk to your family if you can.

drawacircleroundit · 25/07/2022 13:38

Am I the only one wanting a bit more information?

Your work may be able to assist? Depending on the workplace they may have accommodation/a safeguarding lead who you can at least discuss options with.
