Fiancé postponing our trying for a baby timeline

Fiancé postponing our trying for a baby timeline

Last year around August when we moved into our new house, we agreed on August 2026 as the start of TTC. I really locked in this past year and have been preparing physically, mentally and financially. People around me have actually commented on how much calmer and more grounded I seem lately.

I have not stopped thinking and talking about TTC this entire year because it became linked to most of my future plans and choices. My fiancé was never super enthusiastic but I brushed it off. Last week I finally pushed him on why he seemed distant and he admitted he’s not ready and wants another year to enjoy hobbies and save more.

So today I ugly cried changing the sheets. I don’t want to guilt trip or manipulate him but I genuinely don’t know how to process this without building resentment and lashing out.

He’s coming home from a work trip in the middle of the night so it’s just me and selfpity tonight, fingers crossed I don't make a scene when I see him.
