Is it unreasonable to come home from a night out at 4am when you're in a relationship? I did this twice last January and it causes major issues in our relationship and it was rocky until March. He then proposed in April and since then we have been planning the wedding and everything was fine until 3 weeks ago when I went out again and again came back around 4am as I lost track of time. When I got back we started arguing and he said he doesn't know if wants to marry me anymore, I thought he was saying this was out of anger but since then he refused to speak about it or continue planning it when I bring it up.
He's not very social and doesn't really go out, he just works, goes gym and spend time with his family, we have a joint weekend business that we run together. However he's not controlling and seems to only have a problem with me coming back late. He's 27 I'm 29. Any thoughts would be appreciated x

My OH is the life of my life. In many ways he sets me free. He enables me to do many things I simply didn't do when I was single, through giving me confidence and companionship.
Bad relationships are awful. They can be soul destroying. They can have a huge emotional and physical toll. Often, you are better off being single. But if you can find someone who is right for you, it can be the thing that makes life worthwhile.

Being in a relationship is like a ball and a chain 😒

You haven't answered whether he knows what time he expects you home, if you keep him up to date, if he knows when and where you are etc. That makes a big difference. You're part of a relationship. Though I do think by almost 30 you should be past that stage by now. If we reversed it and a woman said her husband didn't come home from the pub and stayed til 4am, we'd be telling her to LTB to his childish bachelor life. I don't understand the need to stay out til 4am. I mean, what is with that? Why? If you have children you realise you won't be able to live the bachelorette clubbing life? Personally I say it might be time to grow up a bit and leave this silly teens/20s life behind. I think you fiance wants to settle down with you but he's worried about marrying someone who lives the bachelorette clubbing lifestyle. It might be once a year, ok, but, I would be massively turned off by a man staying at the pubs til 4am regularly.
