Wedding cancelled due to mortgage hike

Recently booked wedding venue. Had a few discussions around finances recently and seemed to have settled and agreed on a plan. DP thinks either of our houses are too small (3 beds - no equity) and won’t entertain the idea of living all together in one (I have 2 DC - he has a mum who visits every couple of years from abroad and stays 6 months) so insists we buy a bigger house so he has a study to wfh and everyone has a room. However with mortgage rates shooting through roof it would be madness to buy at this point when we have fixed term mortgages and buy something bigger.
Which means the wedding will have to be cancelled. Gutted Sad

Hang on is the man who cheated on you previously and continually puts off the wedding?

Don't know about that but it's the man who bought his ex presents last Christmas and didn't buy the OP anything.

Interesting that the OP isn't giving more details about why they can't get married because of the increase in mortgage rates. There's something off here.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was the DP just trying to make excuses not to get married.

From your previous threads it seems your relationship is a complete joke, your boyfriend does not want to marry you, as you said yourself in previous threads, and, more importantly, your daughter is struggling massively. You need to focus on parenting and prioritise your kids.

My concern is we are going from comfortable to uncomfortable and I’m heartbroken that it looks like we can’t afford to live together therefore can’t get married.

Don't be heartbroken, be fucking thrilled!
