Calling off engagement

I realized I'm scared of marriage and the wedding feels performative. I want to work on our communication and intimacy issues first.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew if I was truly ready for marriage."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't feel pressured to get married if you're not ready."
