So... Two of my friends have offered to plan and now are planning an engagement party for me and my fiance'. I am so flattered and humbled that they are so excited about doing this. My fiance' on the other hand is acting strange and resistant. He doesn't seem to even want to send out evites to his friends and last night he said that we could just invite my friends. That his friends wouldn't want to come to something like this and he doesn't want to put them out. He doesn't even think his sister and brother and their husband and wife would come because it's on the other side of town.
My fiance' is very shy and HATES to put people out. I understand and respect that about him, but he doesn't seem to realize that people aren't put out by celebrations. People enjoy celebrating and want to celebrate with us. Today I emailed him and asked him to give me a list of people he wants to invite and their emails so I could give the list to my friends. He responded with 'just my groomsmen I guess', no addresses and no one else. I responded and asked what about so & so. He responded with 'I'll ask him'. I don't know how to deal with this. It seems really passive aggressive and it's really infuriating.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
