The 23-year-old Hunger Games star "just isn't ready to settle down yet" and told the one-time Disney starlet he wanted a longer engagement.
Miley, 20, was planning to walk down the aisle as soon as this summer after their June, 2012, engagement, but had to back down from her demands in fear she would lose her him!
“For the moment, the wedding has been postponed,” confirmed a source close to the couple.
“When Miley and Liam got engaged, he thought it was going to be a longer engagement and that he would still be able to have a bit of freedom with his life.
“But Miley has been very insistent that they get hitched as soon as possible. She's been chewing Liam’s ear off about it."
Said the insider: "He just snapped and said that he wasn’t ready, which upset Miley because she was always so insistent they’d marry within a year."
Liam, who grew up in Australia, felt "a little trapped" with Miley’s speedy plans but didn't want to hurt her feelings, according to the source.
Initially, he didn’t say anything, the insider explained, but ultimately the drama boiled up inside him and he had to tell her "enough was enough."
"She was devastated, but Miley understands she may have been pushing him too much," said the insider.
"Miley doesn’t want to lose Liam, so she’s accepted that she is just going to have to wait."
