Emotional Baggage......Again?

I have been in a relationship for some time now. We have finally reached that stage where we are anticipating marriage. But, in the back of my mind, there are kernels of doubt brewing lately. I have discovered he's starting to push back on some boundaries. I thought we had resolved these issues and put them to bed. It is nerve wracking to watch him change ever so slowly. I have tried to have an open dialogue with him; this was met with curt and aggressive responses. Nothing positive came out of it. Lately, I see him retreating into his own thoughts. All I can sense is a wall being built between us; everything is out of focus. I want us to return to that couple who compliment each other. As far as I can see; something, somewhere has shifted our relationship. I need him to communicate with me on what has happened and not become defensive and angry.

Seeing him change, withdraw, and build back the wall, must be hurtful for you.

Sounds like he's not fully aware that what he does hurts the relationship.

If you are to look beyond the rope, what could possibly be the reason that made him seems to closing up? Is there a possibility that he's upset with himself for whatever the reason is?

I hope things will be better for you soon 💜

Thank you so much for your kind words. I never thought that it might be something he, himself is dealing with. I made the assumption it had something to do with me. I guess I'll have to take a direct approach if I ever want to know what is going on. I just hope he co-operates with me.
