My fiance is 36 years old and has never lived by himself before. His father died years ago and he lives with his mother 60yo and sister 28yo, both healthy and financially independent. They are too close.
He is depressed about leaving them, and worried that “mother will die alone”. They depend on him emotionally as the male figure in their lives and have been acting very needy lately.
I have lived by myself before so to me this is all a big unnecessary drama, I mean I know they will keep on seeing each other anyways and they will keep on fighting for his attention.
Because of this grieving situation he has not paid much attention to me or the wedding, I mean he makes the payments and goes out with me but emotionally he is having a hard time accepting that I am his new family, he acts like he wants nothing to change and to keep being part of that family only. He wants me to accept his mother’s rules. I told him he needs to prioritize me now as his future wife but he still doesn’t get it, almost like he feels like he is betraying them.
Do you think this is temporary - part of the grieving stage and I should be more supportive?
