OMG house move turning into a nightmare

Looking to move to a new area. DH and I agreed we needed 4 bed detached with garage. We looked in an area 1.5 hrs away close to nice beaches with better schools. I can commute once a week to office. We made an offer and it was accepted.
we don’t need to sell
our house. We will rent it out. I have done everything in terms of paperwork applying for the
mortgages
on both houses and solicitors forms/ emails. We are working towards completion soon. We got a strange email
last week saying that those above in the chain were insisting on exchange or they were were
going to put house back on market. Since then
contact from estate agent has intensified. 2 calls a day plus texts chasing for updates. I was
waltng for the solicitor to confirm
the total amount needed from us. Since the my DH appears
to be having second thoughts. Questioning if it’s the right move, suggesting we should stay put, not sure about the new area, etc
I know he is pissed off about being given an ultimatum to exchange. I said to him that I think this is our only opportunity to move as we got a mortgage with a good rate before they went up. If we don’t do it now it will not be as affordable due to interest rate rise. He keeps changing his mindor saying he does lot know aaaaargh. I said if he has changed his mind be sure and tell me because I need to let everyone know.
Help I feel stuck. I am dealing with all stress and calls/ emails. If he does not want to do it he just needs to take me. I hate that we may let
people down to exchange.

how close are you to exchange? have you got your surveys & everything in place.

take 1 day to think calmly about the new location & new house - the lovely beaches and space and all the things that motivated you to move. Get your DH to imagine living there in a year with all the paperwork behind you. And if you are happy with what you imagine there, then get on with it and exchange.

Worst case scenario you all hate it there, you can sell/rent the new house and move back to the current one. Can he see it as an adventure for a year and see what he thinks.
