Am i over reacting ? Should i just support him and stay by his side ? Or is he playing games with me ?

 Hi anonymous writer,
Every time you and your fiance seem to be getting close to achieving something meaningful, out of the blue he suddenly takes a U-turn leaving you not knowing where you stand. Your life is kept on hold, waiting for him, whilst his career is moving forward. This is very unfair to you and must leave you wondering if you are investing your time and energy in this man for nothing.
You need to have an honest conversation with this man and let him know how you feel. How he reacts could tell you everything you need to know about his level of commitment to you. You cannot spend the next so many years living in limbo when you don't know if there will be any pay off, you deserve to pursue the important things in your life too.
Best wishes

It also seems that he is supporting his sister in the interim. I agree, there are an awful lot of unforeseen events cropping-up. I'm inclined to believe he knew beforehand and just didn't want you to get-away.
Unexpected things do occur, but you met the man overseas while working on a job under contract. These kind of contracts are subject to frequent changes and amendments. Jobs like that are usually quite lucrative; and most are related to the oil industry. You could end-up anywhere in the Middle East, and the pay can be pretty good. I don't think your fiance is going to by-pass work-opportunities or extensions that arise, due to the potential income he could earn.
You are engaged. You agreed, so your options are to wait, or to give-up.
Why would you assume he's playing games with you? Maybe you rushed into accepting his marriage proposal without considering the type of job he has. If it's too much, then break the engagement, and return the ring.
