Is nice to know that both of you are serious about each other… I mean fighting is part of life… “Fighting in terms of arguing that is” and I will tell u one thing for sure
When both of you get married the arguments will get worse each and everyday..
So while you have time sit with him and talk it through. Just make sure u get him in a good mood… at that time you might get a lot done… talk to him about what is making him so miserable..
Take care of your self and I wish you all the best of lucky!

If he doesn't open up to anyone then your relationship is going to have a lot of hardhips.
