When I say "I'll think about it", I really mean "I don't want to, and am wuss-ing out by not providing a definitive answer so I can avoid having a discussion about it in the first place". If I was genuinely unsure, I would discuss it with my wife.
Sharing in what's important with one another is a significant part of a successful relationship in my mind - it certainly is so with my wife and I. His wife made an effort to include him in a family event: her reply that she'd go alone is indicative to me that she's no longer willing to make the effort to include him with what's important to her.

Relationship - positive development or signs of eventual break down?

Ew. I would have a problem with that too. Something about that attitude makes me dig in my heels.

Yes. But it didn't start out like that. Took years to chip away all our rough edges.

The fact that you are referring to a fiancé and comparing it to wife says a lot

To be fair, me and my fiance have been together for about as long as they have

Our priorities may shift over time, too. We're still very young and more tied to our families.
