your fiancée called it off [Page 1 of 2]

It happens every year to men of all ages and from all walks of life; their fiancée deals the unexpected blow that she has decided to end the engagement. The big "What Now" looms tall and picking up the pieces can be daunting, but the guys at Groom Groove knows it can be done, and that would-be grooms everywhere can emerge stronger and better for it.

The emotional impact of a broken engagement

First, the guys at Groom Groove feel for you. Over the years, we've known of a number of prospective grooms who've had the whole commitment thing pulled out from under them. It's not fun. Dare we say, however, that it may be for the best?

Regardless of the future, at least initially, the groom is bound to experience a slew of emotions ranging from disbelief and denial to rage and resentment. None of these feelings should be dismissed as foolish; after all, this is not just any breakup. You have taken a huge leap of faith and promised to commit yourself to this one person as a lifelong partner. You were convinced you’d found your "one" and often you've invested a good deal of time and money into this engagement. On top of all of that, you and your would-be bride have gone public with your intentions.

This is not the time to cloister yourself up and refuse any help. Reach out and respond to friends and family who are willing to listen and talk to you about the situation. It's certainly not unreasonable to seek counseling from a professional if you feel it would be more comfortable productive.

Try to keep interaction with your ex-fiancé e civil and to a minimum. If you're certain that the engagement and the relationship is over, you can be certain that trying to "win back" your girlfriend may only end in more raw feelings. You will need to discuss the logistics of returns and next steps and the sooner you do this, the sooner you will be able to grieve and let the healing begin.

Your CommentsAll I have to say is WOW! I saw my results juat after 5days of spell caster by this spell caster with this email; vudoospell@gmail.com. Not only is he very nice, but very professional. He tries to get to your spell as soon as he can, and if you have any questions he answers them very quickly. He is not a waste of time or money, if your ready to make a change in your life He is the right person to go to. If your looking for love I recommend his Consult his Love Spell. good luck and I know you will be as happy as I am with the results. because that was what i ordered for and it works well for me and my ex.

My name is johnny, i have been having problems with my girlfriend and have been together with her for over 6 years now, I do love this woman a lot and do want to get married to her but at times i did feel a little confused about this and has wondered if she has been true to the relationship...until i have found king son. she told me that she was not being true with me..I did later find out that she has been seeing her ex boyfriend I was overwhelmed and did not know what to do, although I still loved this girl and could not see myself with anyone else, I did not want to lose her and king son assured me that they could help me with this problem, I contacted .ayelalashrine1@yahoo.com once again to let him know that I did want to get help with this. With the powers that they do have my girlfriend and I did work a lot of things out and she has came back to me and we are now back together and engaged I did get over the fact that she has cheated on me but sometimes we do need to forget the past and move on to a better future and without king son' help I dont think it would have ever worked out.he is truly an Angel sent from up above!

It sounds strange to me that i am living happy after all i have been through in life with 4 different false spell caster who ripped me off my hard earned money. Linda left me for a far more younger man and since then my world has been falling apart. I have been through the hands of 4 false spell casters but they all lied to me until i had a chat with Brian that introduced me to prophetofgoddess@yahoo.com. I never wanted to contact this man because i thought that he is like the others who will do the same thing and drive me insane. I gave him a trail after believing in Brian's words that he will tender his resignation if this one fails, to my greatest surprise, he did the spell for me and Linda came knocking on my door four days after i contacted Prophet of Goddess. I will forever be grateful to his good works because he restored my lost happiness and i am happy today because of his good work. Contact him in any problem on his website www.prophetofgoddess.com, he is always there to assist you.

Your Comments Great things come to those who wait PAITENTLY!!! I am writing to tell you that FINALLY, my longtime relationship with Alan came to an end because I felt, and Prophet Aluta saw, that it was just not going to work. I thought I would never love anyone again. I am only 35 but felt my life was over. I was so despondant. Then I found Prophet Aluta's web site and placed an order for my personal love spell. Only 1 month later, but what seemed to me like forever, I developed a very positive relationship with a man I had known for years, just as a friend. There he was, right in front of me the whole time! If it were not for you, Prophet Aluta, I would never have thought of him being the one for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, from a no longer lovelorn Maria Sanchez

miss Sylvestre My MUM was always the person I turned to when I needed something. It was her advice I counted on, and her that I talked to about my most needful things. She died 3 months ago, and at first I was so lost without her I did not think I could function. But then I found DR MOON He has filled that empty hole in my heart from the loss of my mother. I can turn to him for guidance and spiritual advice. He is always available and he always cares. It’s not about money for him. Even better, I finally asked him to perform a love spell on me, and it worked!! I met a man who had also experienced a great loss and we were able to become close friends and provide support to each other. We have fallen in love and my life could not be better. Thank you, DR, MOON for helping me through the worst times of my life, for being such a great spell caster, and for giving me a love spell that has brought me so much joy. If you doubt his ability, trust me. You should take a chance. It pays off in ways you could never even imagine.Email him ayelalashrine@gmail.com

To powerful kumar Spells – I wanted to write and thank you for everything you have done for me. Remember that horrible job I was working when I first contact you? It was a complete and total nightmare! I was taking Prozac just to help me deal with the depression that was caused with being there. Getting out of bed in the morning was never easy because I knew I had to go spend the next 8 hours in misery. A few days after I requested a new job/promotion money spell, I was waiting in line at a coffee shop and heard the gentlemen behind me talking about how hard it was filling the new marketing position at their firm. I couldn’t help but overhear what they were saying and turned around. One of the men standing behind me was an old college buddy. We had lost contact after college and went our separate ways but it was total magick that he was in that coffee shop as it is no where near where he lives or works. I mentioned that I overheard their conversation and asked if we could meet the following day to discuss it. After getting my coffee, I walked into my old job, quit on the spot and never looked back. I have been happily employed now for 5 years at a wonderful firm and am the Director of Marketing and Sales (and no longer need Prozac to go to work). I also met my future wife there. I owe this all to you!. powerful kumar(powerfulkumarspell@yahoo.com) Your Comments

I recently saw a testimony about a spell caster of some sort in a blog I visit for relationship and dating counseling problems because i had been having serious issues with my boyfriend and we had been dating for six months,he just suddenly changed,he was returning my calls,he started cheating,he was hurting me in so many ways i never thought possible and I just thought I should try it maybe out of desperation of some sort ..and I contacted them..At first everything felt dreamy and unbelievable,their consultations and solution was a little bit easy and strange and I was scared a little cos I heard read and heard lots of stories of fake spell casters,scams and i never really believed in magic..I played along with a little hope and and faith and I was sent some few stuffs after everything and it worked like a miracle,everything went to a while new direction,it was and is amazing…I guess it was all good faith that made me read That particular post that faithful day..I hope they could help other people too like they did me…I did a little and I got everything I wanted and wished for my husband,my family and my life back their address is; templeoflive@gmail.com

i want to use this chance to say all the hard work on my case which priestoflovespell@yahoo.com offered me more especially bringing John back in my life. I have never seen a results from a spell like the ones that I have seen from this caster. he is truly the one person that I can count on in my life to go for help. Mentioning friend, let me tell everyone reading my testimonial.. priestoflovespell is more than a friend, he is a person that takes person's care to be his own. I have been to many different sites (Ashia, Egyptian Witch sites, and several others) and I have been put off to counselors and several other different people have handled my case, to no avail. When I approached priestoflovespell with my situation I was stunned at the personal service and attention to detail that he gave to my case. he finally made my case a history to be told - Kathy

I felt all was lost, but wiseindividualspell stepped in after I got a phone consultation from her. He saw the problem and told me when things fell apart. I had him to cast the Obstacle Breaker and Ultimate Return My Lover Spell X 3 since things was blocking my wife to come to me and after the spells was casted later my wife came back to me. I'm a man of my word, so I had to spread the news to let other's know who helped me.... wiseindividualspell is a spell caster"

My ex and i were together for 4 years and he proposed earlier this year. i love him so much, but for some reason i started to panic about marriage- i had been wanting to marry him for years, but i think the idea of change scared me. I withdrew from him and looking back, i know that was the worst thing i couldve done, but its the past now and i cant change it. a few weeks of my panicking and he decides to call the whole thing off, i apologized to him so many times but he blocked me out of his life and had a new girlfriend about 2 months after our breakup (they are still together, 6 months later!) i am devastated, as i believe that i didnt fully understand my feelings at the time but came to realize that i just needed to be brave and take the next step. its strange to me that a man would commit his whole life to a woman and then have a complete change of heart over a matter of weeks. is it pride? i guess i will never know the reasons behind his decision.

I was with my fiancee for 6 years, engaged for 3 months. She was my best friend, and I was hers. She used to send me letters telling me she knew 100% she always wanted to be with me. She just started a new job in August, and everything was great. We were both happy. She was sending me texts while I was at work that said" i love you so much" " i miss you every second im not with you"...well a week after she sent those to me she broke it off. I come to find out 2 weeks after that shes seeing some guy from work that is 13 years older than she is. he was sending her texts and stuff that were manipulative and made her start thinking i guess. anyway, im hoping this is just a rebound and that she will come back. i miss her very much. i stopped contacting her about a week ago, and it was her birthday this weekend, i was hoping not saying happy birthday would shake her up a bit.

MJ- Marriage is all about working through it. Make sure you go out of your way to make her feel special, make sure she feels like a woman when she's with you, not just a frient. My fiance had problems with that. I felt like an ordinary girl. I felt taken for granted. Everything we talked about and did for 7 months was wedding related - not even MARRIAGE related - just wedding related:( At the end of the day, she will do what she wants, but make sure you communicate to her how much you love her. Make sure you have a plan for your lives together. Women need to be taken care of by their men . You guys are our security and protection. I didn't have that either and it left me feeling very anxious and always wondering how another man would treat me. Do kind things that you don't have to do for her everyday. Once she knows that you're a man of your word, with ambition and with leadership, she shuld want to stay. At least you did your part:)

I just broke a 7 month engagement in a five year relationship. My fiance and I dated since we were 18 (now we're 24)...the wedding was supposed to be on November 5th....there were so many things we ignored about ourselves...we both had baggage since before the r/s and because of all the times we hurt eachother. I love him SO much. I desperately want him to be the one, and someday i DO want to marry him, but because we are both so broken, I decided to break it off knowing I was not ready to get married. We were so dependent on one another and it was not good. We're both insecure and he is needy; I am controlling. I always tried changing, but never seemed to be able to. Reality hit me that I could not change him. We both have a lot of growing up to do and I'm believing that if we're meant to be we will be back together. But for now, I have to endure the pain while we both search for our identity so we can be a good husband and wife to eachother or to someone else someday.

guys me and girlfriend got engaged just 2 months ago but i was living just at the back of their house for 2yrs already. we lived separately but i got my own room because they have a room for rent at the back of their house. for the first 2 months, I was paying my rent but her dad insisted that i shoudn't pay anymore but we announced our engagament last year and was cancelled due to i found out that she was infertile.. we did some tests and her eggs doesnt mature if im not mistaken. she is older than me. im 27 and she's 33. but things got we went to a fight and i feel really sad because im scared of my future that she cant provide me the family that i always wanted. i know there are medicines and procedures out there but they dont guarantee anything. we're just middle class earners and i know that infertility treatment costs a fortune. we still dont own a house and a car yet and having those treatment would ruin the dreams of owning even a small house and a car and would surely hit out finances. so everything went fine after it. actually i really love my fiancebut we are not that romantic with each other because were not that type. we actually did some corny stuff like we bought the engagement ring together. so....we went the 2nd engagement and supposed to get married this december but we went into a fight again... now she tells me shes having serious doubts about getting married... i really love her please i need some advice...

She just ended my engagement after dating a year, engaged for 8 months. Hall and church are booked but I paid for them so will eat teh cost, no big loss considering the bigger loss. We had a fight, several over the last little while, mostly about my family. I tried to be understanding and find noncombative resolutions but she wouldn't consider it. She threw the ring at me and stormed off. We talked back and forth for a week and realized that this wasn't going to work because her perception was always that she was being insulted and didn't think talking about it wouldn't help. Now we're both broken hearted and while we say we love each other, its obvious this won't work or I'll always have to choose a side between her and family.

Your CommentsTo Maggie - WOW I'm NOW going through the SAME exact thing.... So so sorry for all of you . I've been with my guy for 7years proposed this on New Years day 2011 - I was so excited. 2 ˝ weeks ago stopped talking to me. He's done this before. May I add a that in February wanted to break up but we continued. Recently, went to his aunt's wake & funeral (friend of my moms for 35+ years) He gave me 3 kisses - and then nothing! I called this week (maybe too soonn after funeral) and stated that I suppose he wanted his stuff back - cold dry response put it in a bag and leave it on the porch. My GOD! I'm sooo hurt... was debating on what to do with the ring and came across this site. Maybe there should be a support group. I'm sorry that all of you have gone through this I 'll keep you in my prayers. May God help us all find another love who corresponds

I have been in a 10 year relationship & I was palnning to get married in August 2011, boyfriend has just told me he doesnt love me anymore. Told me i have issues to why he has ended relationship. I never saw this coming, we never argued. He said there is no one else. He has put all the blame onto me, when i really think he is cold feet about getting married or having a mid life crisis !

it's coming on 2 years since my fiance unexpectedly ran away from me.. im with someone new now but the thought of what the hell happened still comes across me every now and then.. the way it all unfolded was horrific.. i heard the worst breakups are with your first love and being blindsided.. i got the best of both.. i was with her since she graduated high school. i am 2 yeras her senior.. we were together for 8.5 years and engaged for only 5 months.. even went on our first european vacation together 2 months before the crisis.. i had lost my job on a Friday in Spring.. i was so miserable and depressed, i took my anger out on her unintentionally (something in the past came back to haunt me)..that following monday was the night we got in a fight.. i was like a little boy needing attention all weekend and we had friends over and felt like i didn't have time to vent.. it was all misdirected anger and she got fedup and moved out of our place and then it was no contact.. we bumped into each other 2-3 times but the last time i saw her was a year and a half ago.. till this day i don't know she was on the edge of running.. i told her id seek counseling and admit to my faults but it wasn't enough.. i created a monster out of my significant other by my miserable self.. i guess you never know someone till the going gets rough.. we were never married so the vows of "through better or for worse" were never exchanged.. =( i hate how im left with no full closure and its really affecting my new relationship.. im still filled with so much doubt and insecurity and im scared to go thru this path again..

My fiance called our engagement off today, but he still wants to remain in a relationship, im 8 months pregnant with his child, and his explanation is because we are over 500 miles apart from each other, but he knew this before we got engaged. He doesnt want me to move in with him,simply because we are not married, but he wants me to move in the same area as he is in for his conviencence. What's a girl to do? Note that we start dating in April, met for rhe 1st time in May, got engaged in June, and I found out I was pregnant in August. He says that things went to fast, and that his son had just passed away in Feb, and that he needed emotional comfort and i was there. So basically I guess he just used me for his own benefit

My fiance and I have been engaged for 4 months. Our wedding date is/was set for July 2nd, 2011. We have been living together for 9 months and although we have had our issues we have always been able to get through anything. I am completely head over heels in love with him. We recently relocated for my job while he works on his career. We have moved to a place where we don't know a soul. It is a very secluded place and hard to meet new people. He is gone alot for his job but it is what he needs to do to continue his career. I have been having a hard time being alone here. I have expressed my sadness to him alot latley. Last night he called me to tell me that he doesn't think he can do this anymore. He says that my unhappiness drains him and he feels like he can't fix it. He told me that he doesn't want to be with me anymore...that he wants to call of the engagement. He was balling his eyes out! And so was I. It was so unexpected...he never mentioned anything like this before. He says that he is having doubts about our relationship and if I am the one or not. I literally have the save-the-date cards sitting on our kitchen counter and was planning on sending them this weekend. I don't know what to do. He gets home this weekend and we have agreed to talk about it then. What do I say to him? I don't want to lose him. I told him I will do anything to fix this. Is it too late? Or is he just saying those things in the heat of the moment?

My fiance broke our engagement the day before classes started my senior year of college.. she claimed that she was "called to be single" we live in the same apartment complex and have a class together so i still have to run into her at least twice a week..we had been dating for three years..if thats not bad enough I found out the first week of classes she had already met a new guy who became her boyfriend about a month after class started..i found out via facebook..so much for being called to be single..she refused to even speak to me about the past relationship when i attempted to talk to her about it months ago saying we simply had nothing to talk about..after telling me on our first date that she could tell God tell her i was the one she would marry..now she clearly thinks otherwise..for those of you who at least dont have to run into your ex good for you..id give anything to be in your situation now..

Hes been laid off for 8 months... lots of pressure on me and then thi - just no respect - "Im going" no if ands or buts... Im at my moms right now and shes has to go to the hospital tomorrow - ya... I thought I had the last straw until this very moment... but oh my god - theres an end to this, right?

My fiancee came back from a business trip and told me she doesn't think I'm the right person for her anymore and she doesn't think she can marry me. I'm assuming she cheated on me, or at least considered it.. but honestly, I don't care. The point is she doesn't want to be with me and that's all that matters. I'm glad the wedding wasn't until middle of next year so no real plans were set in stone....

Re: Calvin Dude man i feel you, same thing with my girl. Together for 2 years and 2 months away from the wedding. and wakes up and tells me that she cant be with me or marry me. packs up 3 garbage bags of clothes and leaves..... that was 135 days ago... and i call truly say it still hurts.... but its better then it was. I know how you feel Calvin and dont think im gonna try to change your mind about how you feel and who you love. Just remember there are guys like us all over and you gotta remember that she did this for her. She wanted to leave so she did. You have to think of what you want. sure for the first little bit not eating and staying up tell 5 am happens. But just remember when all is said and done you have you continue to live your life.

"I cant marry you, it doesnt feel right." next thing I know, she leaves with her suit case and this week.. were both moving out of our place. I agree with the one guy, no motivation to sleep... heck im typing this up at 5am and I havent been to bed yet. Friends are the best to have around, but when theyre not around, thats when it sux... cause you still care for the girl and love her and miss her

Well, in all honesty, I am only 24 and you can see my posts from like a month or so ago. My fiancee left me and has been with 2 guys now from my understanding. In your situation I would say move on. It sucks and I am still in the process of moving on but just go out and have some fun. Let someone that deserves you and will love you no matter what and won't leave you find you. Don't settle because you feel as though you are getting older, find the "one". You will be fine. Jude

I dated my boyfriend for 7 years we had our ups and downs, but always worked thru things, I thought our love was strong for each other, we would talk about marriage and a family (both of us wanted that, from my understanding). I felt he was my soulmate he always said I was his, we argued alot, but he always said argument was good in a relationship (I agreed) cause it's good to bring things out whats bothering you rather then to stay silent and let it eat at you, so I thought yes arguments where good, and he also had lots of laughs, we where good together. We went ring shopping, he let me pick a ring out, I did it was on order, he was making payments and said as soon he's done making payments, I will get ring, I waited and waited no ring, to make long story short last year around christmas time (2009) we got into a huge argument, he left, I haven't seen him since he would call time to time. I asked him several times what happened, why..... he always gave different answer,like he got scared, I pushed him away, he wasn't ready. He has been calling me more or less on a regular basis, last time I spoke to him was 3 weeks ago, when I last spoke to him he said that he wants to make things right between us and get married, I also spoke to his brother 4 weeks ago, his brother said that he told him also that he wants to make everything right, but like I said its been 3 weeks now and he hasn't called (unusual)I don't understand (confussed), my family gives me mixed advise, they say forget about him then they say wait for him, I'm so confused cause I really love him so much and I feel in my heart he loves me, but I am almost 40 years old and now I am alone have no one, I do want a baby and my time is running out. My heart tells me to wait, but realistically my head tells me maybe move on (go out on dates)I am soooo hurt, I cry alot, I feel like my heart has been ripped out. HELP, I need some advise from an outsider (not family).

Well here it goes, I got engaged January 8th and everything was fine, we were planning the perfect wedding and then out of nowhere she began picking fights about nothing and then threw the ring back at me. It's been two weeks and I still don't know what happened. She wants to explain herself, but I think taking the ring off and cancelling the wedding kinda says it all. When I asked her to marry me we were so happy and going forward with the plans. But then at almost the 6 month mark she snapped. Devistated, hurt I'm going to Tijuana to get hookers !

Well I was in Atlantic City this past week and I had a few drinks at the slots. I texted my ex fiancee who left me a month ago now (drunk texting and contacting ur x is a big mistake). Well now she talks to her ex boyfriend from years ago who cheated on her and I was sad about this, I texted her saying goodluck with him you'll need it. I lied and said I was with someone else. She surprisingly called me back and called it a bluff on my part, it was a very petty call but she admitted to me that she has been dreaming literally in her sleep avout her ex boyfriend for roughly 4 months now. My heart sank but at the same time I realized this was ridiculous, even if she's lying it's disgusting to do this to someone that loves you. She even remarked that she was hitting on the guy that i got jealous over while I was training with the army last month. So I was apparently right in my jealous intuitive worries. This whole situation sucks and I simply feel betrayed. The woman I loved is now going to be getting back with the guy that hurt her over and over again, I should be happy because he will screw it up again I would imagine, but I am not happy, I am crushed.

re: Tatiana I thank you very much to replying to my post and thank you for your insight on what i posted. I am so happy that i have found this site and people like you. These hard time dealing with marriage and ending of relationships are never really thought about. Just like when we lost our baby no one told us that it truly is a miracle of birth because its possible to lose the baby due to so many things. same thing with a relationship you can be in one for 2 hours or 9 years and you still have that possibility that one of you could just fall out of love. But whats the point of having a heart if you sit on the side lines. So as you say that you will never stop loving that person because you decided to take that risk and give them your whole heart. I am at your side Tatiana because you are at mine and with support from friends and family we will make it to a brighter tomorrow. Thank you for all your help :) truly God bless and joy to your life :)

Alex, I read about your situation. I toatlly & utterly empathize with you...I WAS YOU EXACTLY 1 YEAR AGO. It's so hard in the beginning when something like this happens. The wounds are still fresh after only a few weeks. It takes time to heal and grieve. It's okay to cry and scream. Reach out to friends and family. Prayer/meditation/working out really helped me cope with the break up and the wedding being called off -- even a couple drunk nights with the buddies helps (don't drive of course). Real friends and family will let you repeat yourself over and over and vent a million times...it really does help. But this happened for a reason -- exactly why I can't tell you -- but your ex is obviously not ready to make a real committment to you or anyone for that matter. What happened if a marriage and 2 kids later she wanted to leave you? And then you're stuck with the kids, a mortgage, bills, and baggage. Keep asking yourself that. Of course you're going to love her, REAL love doesn't just disappear overnight. But over time, the veil will be lifted from your eyes and you will begin to see all that blinded you in the past. Some other woman will catch your eye and help you move on. Well, thanks for your advisce and I wish you the best. Take care and God Bless. I've decided to take a break from John so I can decide what I realy want. Thanks Alex.

I have been with my fiance for almost 6 years, our wedding is...sorry, was set for 6/12/10. We have been engaged for the last two years. He came to me on may 3rd and said that he loved me as a friend and wasn't sure if he ever was IN love with me...it has been a week and he says that he needs time to decide if he still wants to be with me in a relationship or not. He said he wants to be 100% sure, not 75%...he also stated that he is happier than he has been for years since the wedding insn't "looming"over him anymore. He said that he may have been feeling like this for a long time but was too chicken to tell me. We own a home, vehicles, boat, animals etc....I am completely dumbfounded! Why am I still here? Why didn't I run when this man I have been with for 6 yrs all of a sudden says that he isnt sure he loves me like that? Because I love him.

Via Tatiana The question you should ask your self is do you want to kick him to the curb. I will admit the lingering notions of love are not easy to ignore nor deny. but the question is will those feelings you have been enough to keep the two of you going? will you be happy with him knowing that after everything has happened he still loves you?? or will you focus on the fact that your families are at odds with each other and any holiday will be a battle ? all i know is that no matter how many sites you go to or how many different options you have you know inside weather its worth it or not. I am still friends my my EX fiance but i am much more prone or involved with contacting her then she is with me. Each day i think of her and text her but somedays she could care less what im up to. She still loves me and i do her because of the experiences and memories we have shared but from that there really isn't much else that changes the fact that she cancelled the wedding. Are you able to get past that you gave him the ultimatum to move out or marry you and he got an apartment. Are you able to get over the fact that instead of talking to you he got on a plane? im not trying to take sides here. Im just try to see what you want. I think you already do know what you want you just have to accept it now. feel free to post again. I check it daily .

My fiance and I were together since February 2005. We had since bought a house together, got engaged and planned on a May 2009 wedding. Well, 3 days before the wedding (without warning) he took a plane to Honduras (he's White but his father lives there -- moved there when he got divorced). I was driving when his mom calls me crying, saying that he was on a plane to Honduras. "WTF!?," I thought. I almost crashed my car onto oncoming traffic. My priest was trying to console me by explaining the greiving process. No one knew how to react to what happened. Well, I threw away all his things becuase I didn't want a trace of him around. Then I called him in Honduras and asked him why he did it. He said he wasn't ready and that the idea of getting married and having kids scared him. He said he realized he made a mistake by leaving the way he did. When he got back we started dating again. Soon after he moved back in. We never did get married. Since then we never do anything with our families like before -- I never see his fam and he never sees mine. My family hates him of course. I kicked him out in December 2000 when I gave him an ultimatum -- marry me or leave. And so he has an apartment now. He says he's in love with me and still loves me. I'm dating another guy (it's not serious), but my ex and I go out once in a while. I still love him. But should I kick my ex-fiance to the curb and move on completely???

I met my ex-fiancee in July of 2007. She was everything I ever wanted, she was true to me (so I thought) and seemed to genuinely care. I met her after I came home from Basic training and finished my college. She always supported me. Somehow, and for some reason we began arguing over stupid crap for the last year. What culmintaed the arguing was a car crash on April 10, 2010. We hot a pole at 50mph and we walked away unhurt. She said this expereince should have broughten us close but it did not. We argued slightly over the car wreck (partly because I felt guilty). Well I went to a military school for 2 weeks and I picked a fight over something stupid. She was simply hanging out with her brothers friend who used to like her when they were kids. I made an issue of this which was a big mistake. She left me while I was training. She made a FB and now she has contacts with her ex-boyfriend. She gave the ring back to me, we both cried and I begged for a second chance. She refused, she said this has been on her mind for a while now and that I had all the chances in the World. She said she had time to realize that she cannot be happy with me. It just sucks because I feel like everything has been a lie. I feel like I deserve a chance to prove myself and my love for her. For her to talk to her ex boyfriend from 3 years ago so quickly really bothers me. She blocked me on FB even though I never contacted her on it. She has been short to the point when I've called that she is never coming back, etc. It just sucks that someone you love, even though you've argued, can just call it quits on you and abandone you. In addition to the abandonement, just the fact that 3 weeks ago you made love to this person and now they are a stranger really shakes me to the core emotionally. She even defended her ex-boyfriend when I called her to ask why he was on her FB. Its been 2 1/2 weeks and I am almost unfunctional. No motivation to work, sleep, eat, no peace of mind at all, she claimed to me when I called yesterday that "she's sleeping just fine" and that "I have to move on, there's no other choice". I have been going to bars (somehting I have never done before) and this has made everything, the depression worse. I just keep hoping she'll call in a few days, weeks or months looking to talk and get back. Everyone keeps saying though, it's over, she's never coming back, my whole life has been uprooted. I know what I have to do which is move on, but I don;t want to.

I recently was with my ex fiance for 1 year and a half. I know very short but in high school we were high school sweet hearts, after we both went to college we lost touch for 3 years. After that time i found her again and we started talking became friends then started dating. The whole relationship was wonderful we ran into our share of problems but always found a way to cope with them. I found my self so in love with her but then she said she did not want to live with me any more and moved back home. We stayed together and dated at a distance for 4 months then i got a job back home and moved in with my parents. After awhile she decided that we should give it another try ( living together) so we did and we were doing great. After a couple of weeks she was getting sick and feeling out of the weather. Before we knew it she was 3 months pregnant.... then two weeks later she lost the baby and went in for surgery. After that it was really hard because we lost something. It brought us closer and we loved each other very much. but in the process of planning for the baby we planned our wedding for dec 31 of 2009... a fairy tale new years wedding. but after we dealt with the hardships of losing the baby. She soon realized that a wedding was not what she wanted and called it off. Then 3 months later decided to plan the wedding for July of 2010. So we lived together planed and worked and figured everything out. The dress was being fitted the hall was book and a nice 3000 deposit made. Ring was purchased and best men were set ( my brother lived in Germany so we had to book in advance and were in ontario Canada). Then after a couple of weeks she came home from work we crawled into bed and then a moment later she said " Your going to hate me, Im calling off the wedding and i dont want to be with you". I thought i was dreaming and tried to wake my self up. It wasen't so far she still dosn't know why she did what she did. Just said she didn't like who she was and became and wantted to figure her life out. This i can respect and i still have yet to get angry with her and freak out because i still love her. So that night we had one last sleep before she left. The next morning she was gung ho to pack her backs ( four garbage bags) and left for her parents. since then i have been stuck in the room i shared with her because i cannot find a place of my own. Expenses from the wedding plans have left me going pay check to pay check. and most of all im stuck in this spiral of "she will come back" I still love her but i dont want to feel like this. So far its been 2 weeks and i still want to just roll over and die..... but this site has given me new hope. Who thought typing into google. What to do when your girl calls off your wedding. I thought i was going to get some lame site but this place has actual people that are offering there support and there stories. so thank you all :) You all know what its like and it is helping me on my way. Thank you so much

I broke up with my fiance a little over a year ago, we dated for seven years and lived togther for six of them. Im sure certain friends and family members don't understand why I did it but they were not in my shoes! I can honestly say I was very much in love with him and believe he was my soul mate. The reason why I ended our relationship is that he changed so much it was scary. He began drinking heavily and was a mean drunk, he began spending a lot of his savings and became lazy. I gave him many chances to change but he did not. Leaving him was one of the hardest things I ever will do but I knew marrying him would lead to divorce because of his drinking.sometimes people take there partner for granted..lesson never take your relationship for granted.

Me and my fiancé were meant to be getting married in a few weeks time and I called it off,we have been together for 3 1/2 years and I have been married before so I was dubious about marrying again but I fell head over heels for this girl and we were like best friends as well as a couple and have been through so much together,I called it off and felt I was doing the right thing at the time but now I regret it and realise no one will love me like she did and I thought I would end it to prevent any hurt to her or me as I was worried about being married before and wasn't sure I could give her all that she wanted.she is very upset still but is moving on going out with friends and socialising,I'm happy for her but miss her so much and know it's too late to rectify this as she will not trust me again.she is 27 and I'm 41 but age was never an issue,I just don't know how to move on from this.it's my fault but I still love her and realised I made the biggest mistake ever...tough times!

"I can't figure out how someone can switch it off overnight." I hear you J, the same thing happened to me. Literally over night my fiancee just said she doesn't love me any more and just broke up with me. Thats the second time she ended our engagement on a whim. A week earlier she was telling me she couldn't wait to get married and loved me so much... I will never understand it in a million years. The entire experience has made me very bitter towards women... I don't trust them at all.

Adam, I am sorry that you are going through this. I not sure if you meant that your wedding is in 2 1/2 weeks. If so, I think you should talk to her. I understand you love her and it hurts, but you need to know what her thoughts are. Is post poning an option for you? Maybe ask her what are her fears if she gets married. I am really sorry that you are going through this, as I am too. I hope things work out for both of you.

Jenn, I don't have clear answers as to why we broke up. The issues we had weren't new. He did say that when he gave me the ring, he thought things were going to get better. I don't know what that meant? I NOW think it was a hush ring. I break my head every night trying to figure out just exactly what went wrong for this to happen to me. I've had to see a doctor to help me with my sleep and my anxiety. Most people tell me it's easier to point the finger than to admit fault. It's been really hard, and as the days go by some days seem to get harder. A vacation does sound good. I live in Southern Ca, not sure where you live. Everyone tells me that time will heal all pain, but why do we have to hurt so much? And how long will it take?

My ex-fiancee and I dated for 5 1/2 years and was engaged for a year. He proposed on birthday in front of our closest family and friends. I was shocked! I right away began to plan. We planned to have a big wedding this upcoming May. Like every couple we had our issues, but never in a million years did I think that I would be writing about this. About a month or so ago, I began to notice that he was pushing away and didn't bring up the wedding if I didn't. We began to fight everyday. The final straw was when we had to attend an engagement encounter and said he wasn't going. I knew there that he didn't want to marry me. We both exchanged hurtful words and called off the wedding. Since then I've tried to see if we could work it out, but he tells me that we've crossed to many boudaries. He says he Loves me, but I don't see how someone that loves me doesn't want to work it out. I am devastated and still have hope which I know I shouldn't, but I love him so much! In a month or so I have to pick up my wedding dress and I am contemplating on what to do on the wedding day. I am so hurt and don't know what to do. I have a good friends and family, but the pain is still there. I am so heart broken.

How does everyone feel about this? The engagement was broken. I realized maybe she didnt want to pursue it but I manned up and wanted to seek counseling. I want it to work, I have tried everything, and still no response. I wanted to get counseling through my church to hopefully guide us in the right direction. I wanted to make a stand and do the right thing for us. We have arguements which escalate into her blaming me and stating she is the victim. She always confides in her family over me. Its just hard because I put all my EVERYTHING into this relationship. I have done everything to try and comfort, love, care, and protect her. I give her the space she needs and I am not the type to chase girls. The way I feel is if you really want to be with me you will be there for me. If not then find someone else who will make you happy. That's what I am going to do.. God bless everyone... And merry xmas!

Your Comments: My fiance broke off our engagement on thanksgiving saying "he doesn't feel the same". I didn't see this coming. I question if I did or didn't do something. He says I didn't do anything he just feels differently and doesn't know why. He is going to counseling to try to figure things out and I am hoping with every part of my being. I am devistated and trying like hell to keep it together. Just a week before when I bought my dress he said how happy that made him and how much he loved me...wth happened. How do you trust again after they break your heart?

I recently was engaged and have been for a year. She called it off due to trust issues. I called it off because I found out infedility took place. I myself tended to her needs, comforted her, was there for her, Ran to her in the middle of the night because I missed her, held the door for her, told her sweet nothings, brought roses for no reason, and always made sure she was okay throughout the day! It happened and is a shock to my heart. It's true hurtful feelings but we can all make it through. Hope is the best of things... It never dies..

My fiance called off the engagement yesterday, i guess ex fiance,and told me her feelings changed towards me. What have I done wrong? I've loved her to the fullest and respected her in every way... she simply said her feelings changed and doesn't love me in a romantic way. We've been together 3 1/2 years. I proposed to her in July. I really didn't see it coming... not even a hint.... I went from being engaged to being single lol kinda ironic isn't it?? I am a guy and in no way am I more sentimental than most but I have to say it hurts like nothing you can ever imagine. It's not the end of the world but I just hope the pain shortens and wounds healed. The funny thing is, I stressed communication throughout our relationship and made sure I am attending to her needs. I can't figure out how someone can switch it off overnight. Most of you probably won't ever read this but I guess it's more therapeutic for me to vent it out. I haven't told anyone yet, not even my parents as I know they will be heartbroken as well. If any of you ladies are reading this, not all men are tough and emotionless or seemingly jerk offs. What you say and do CAN hurt the strongest man greatly and bring him down. I am beginning to believe more and more that nice guys don't get the girls. haha. oh well... that's life right??

My boyfriend claimed he wanted to marry me got the ring and asked august 26th. I always said I never wanted to get married but he changed that. He announced it on facebook. I asked him 3 times if he was sure. He looked me in the eye and lied to me. So while he's telling all my friends, family I'm wearing the ring all along looking like a fool because he decided he never wants to get married. He broke it off 3 weeks latier. But he wants us to be together forever. When I told him that I couldn't continue on without a real future he changed never to someday. Why make a point to embarrass me? Than he wants to take a vacation to our wedding destination. I'm only going there to get married. I love him but this isn't working for me anymore. I'm hurt, I've tried letting it go but I seriously wanted to marry him. Why can't he let me go if I'm not good enough. Our friends got engaged a few days ago and I'm jealous I'm never jealous. I hate feeling like this. Don't ask if you don't mean it! I'll never marry him now I have no trust for him. Without trust there is nothing.

I propsed to my girlfriend back in April. We had been together for just over a year but knew each other in high school. She wanted to get married pretty quickly for a few reasons. 1.) She was 31 at the time and wanted to start her married life right away 2.) Her grand parents are both sick, one with Cancer and one with late stage Alzheimer's and she wanted them to see their only granddaughter get married 3.) She wanted a Fall or Spring wedding. She began to target the Fall, which gave us about 6 months to plan a wedding in a differnet state (about 400 mi away) than we lived. I tried to tell here I wasn't comfortable with scheduling a wedding that quick and told her that we needed to get to know each other better, enjoy the engagement and that booking a venue in that time would be very tough and stressful. She told me many times that she really wanted her grandmother there to see her get married before she lost her memory for good. That made me feel really guilty despite my feelings about having the Fall wedding. I knew how important is was for her to have her grand parents there and it wasn't something that I was going to argue with so I agreed to a Fall wedding. Throughout our 1 yr., my girlfriend and I had a few disagreements and I had raised my voice or yelled at her 4 times. Two of the times that I yelled at her were for reasons that I really made up in my head without trying to talk to her. I assumed things. The last time I yelled at her was the worst. I really screamed at her outside on the street at night with people around. I called her a liar but did not call her any bad names. I was really upset and frustrated. After that, I confessed to her that during my last relationship I had gotten into a lot of arguements with my ex. I even told her that my parents divorce was especially difficult. My parents argued and yelled a lot and I told her I saw my Dad grab and push my Mom but never saw him hit her. I also told her that the same happened with my ex. She seeked my ex out and talked to her witout me knowing and without my permission. My ex told her more details. Some details describing one moment that was more than just grabbing or pushing. I pulled my ex's pony tail and threw her to the floor and kicked her in her thigh. I also pushed her once and she had high heels on while standing on the tile floor. Her shoes made it very difficult to get a grip and she fell back on her but pretty hard and I think she bumped her head on the wall too. Her lower back really hurt her. I felt really bad for bother instances. So back to my fiance. After she heard this, she decided to cancel the wedding. I foudn out she talked to my ex months later. Things made much more sense after I found out. I actually wasn't mad. I was kind of relieved. I never touched, threatened or called my finace bad names. I only yelled or screamed a few times. After trying to work on the yelling/anger problem my former fiance decided the best way to stop the cycle we were in was to leave me a note on the kitchen table and take off somewhere for a weekend. She broke up with me through a letter. She took off without letting me know where and didn't tell me when she'd be back. She told me later she was at her parents' 400 miles away. She also took me, my family and all my friends off of Facebook without notice. We stopped dating (took a break but agreed not to see other people) for a little while. A few weeks later she moved from less than a mile away to about 60 miles away. After about 2 months we began seeing each other gradually. During this time, I enrolled myself in one of the best abusive education programs in the country and we are now seeing each other full time again. During this time, I have caught her in a couple of lies/omission of information. One of them about having dinner with a guy that has/had interest in her a few years ago, the other about leaving the country for one and a half weeks during the time our wedding would have been without telling me. She wasn't going to tell me she was going to Africa. Yes, Africa. Who does that? We were back seeing each other on a pretty regular basis when she did this. I guess I am just wondering what extreme things happen for weddings to be cancelled and if this is extreme enough. I realize that maybe I do have a problem and am happy that she helped me realize this. However, was the way she dealt with it necessary? Why does she keep running away without telling me? Why does she go to such extremes? Am I off base?

Your ComMy fiance called off our wedding TWO HOURS prior to the event. I was getting ready to get in my dress, when he calls me on my cell and tells me. He came to tell me in person but his cousins did much of the talking for him -- he just sat there and cried and shook like a child. His whole family knew the wedding was off before I did. We had argued several times over wedding stress and getting everything done in the week prior to the wedding and he said "couples don't fight." Initially that is why he said he called it off. No one could rationalize with him and he left town without meeting with me in person again like he had promised numerous times. Weeks later he started accusing me of lying about things I never lied about and has been really nasty and critical to me. He recently said that he had thought about calling off the wedding for awhile -- then why did he wait until two hours before? He even had to travel from back east to get married and all his family had to travel also. I don't know what to think at this point. My friends say he is a coward and I have to agree with them. But the worst part of this is that I was supposed to move with him after we got married. I was being laid off end of September and we were supposed to be married early September -- so now I am still here with no job, very little savings, and no health insurance. I had broken my leg and would have been in my cast for the wedding - he left me with a broken leg too. It has been over two months since he ran away -- he went back to being a resident physician -- his life wasn't interrupted at all -- except when he went on the honeymoon. I am working hard to get my life back together and be stronger than I was before. ments

Your Comments There is a lot of pressure in society for women to get married, so believe me, if she dumped you, it's because you REALLY deserved it. She is basically saying that she would rather go through the completely exhausting experience of finding another right guy, getting to know him, getting to know his family, and taking all of the attendant changes with him, than spending any more time with YOU, the one she's already got. You clearly screwed up royally if she was willing to take that coveted ring off her finger and tell you to shove it.

My fiance and I got engaged 1.5 months ago and i'm thinking of breaking it off. Her parents are backward and have poor educational background. They don't understand the problems of a service class person and don't take anything seriously. My fiance has grown up in their business family and she also doesn't have any idea how hard it is to earn a single penny. After marriage, she is just relying on my salary for all her luxuries. Her job is just a joke for her and her parent as well. There have been so many revelling facts that I have come to know after our engagement: She wears spectacles, earns half the salary of what was told to me, etc. All the facts told to me initially seem manipulated now. I tried my best to accommodate her most shortcoming but now I feel deeply hurt. I love her and I know that she also has emotions for me but deep down i know that there is something wrong and i wish i was stronger to walk away. Each passing day is becoming more and more difficult. I am very confused and depressed.

It may hurt but in most of these cases if not all the 'supposed' dumped party is better off. This is too logical for most -if you want a marriage of respect and consideration towards each other then you want a person that knows they want to be with you and you with her/him. You don't want someone that wants to party all the time, spend beyond means, is irresponsible, has no concerns for your feelings, or in any way is disillusioned. Pick your spouse very, very carefully!

Your CommentsI am so HURT! Please don't make light of the fact he was previously married 3 times before he got down on his knee...teary eyed...and asked me to marry him this past June, We were on a "Brady Bunch" family trip..his kids, and mine..car ride to San Fran...the kids were GREAT, no arguments no problems...BLISS! Then, after the trip he became distant..engrossed in his business...fewer emails, etc..and one morning he said he just felt like things had moved too quickly.. That he still loves me, but is not sure he's ready for the big changes to come. He wants to see me tomorrow. He still wants the relationship. I miss the hell out of him, but I am so hurt. Can it go anywhere from here??? We love each other. Is it enough? Should I see him or tell him to take his time and figure it out. Is marriage that important at age 44 and 50 (him)? Should we just wait? I am so confused..

I just called off our brief engagement. Or should I say - I called it off for him. He was saying all the right things, but when it came time to discuss or do things he wouldn't participate. I don't know if he planned it that way or not, but he obviously wasn't ready to get married. When I told him it was off all he could say was, "Oh I'm really sorry to hear that, but I'll respect your wishes." If he respected me in the first place this would have never happened. Yeah, I guess even though I called it off, I'm bitter and hurt. Sorry guys.

My fiance and I have been together for almost 5 years and just got engaged in May. I bought us a house in January and support us both, and he is unable to find work because he lost his license from a DUI. When he got out of the 10-day jail sentence he told me how much he realized he loved me and wanted to be married, so I let him use one of my 0% interest cards to buy my ring. Now 3 months later he still hasn't found work, I'm paying all the bills and for my ring, and all he wants to do is sit in the garage and drink, which I have to buy for him. I have completely forgotten why we even fell in love and have not felt special in a long time. I told him it was over last week, but then felt I had made a huge mistake so I asked for the ring back. We have been in couples counseling but it hasn't helped anyhting yet. I think I'm going to give it another month, but if it is still like this I have to stick to my guns and do what's right by calling off the wedding and relationship. I just wish it wasn't so hard.

I recently broke our engagement. Although we are still dating things are not the same. I'm dating a 2 time divorcee, unfortunately for me I guess. When we started dating 3 & 1/2 years ago we talked about what we wanted in our relationship. We even talked about marriage, then for Christmas 2 years ago he proposed, I didn't ask I wasn't expecting it. Last year we started talking about dates possibly in 2009 or 2010, all of a sudden he started getting cold feet. Now he says that he doesn't want to get married now, but we will eventually get married. I broke down it was like I could literally feel my heart shatter, he couldn't tell me when NOW would be, so I told him 2 weeks ago that he doesn't have to worry about it, we're not engaged anymore, he doesn't have to call me his fiance anymore, I'm simply his girlfriend for NOW! I'm not sure where we will be next month.

Anne, I'm so sorry. I am still engaged but who know for how long. My fiance cannot make up his mind and it's driving me crazy (actually I believe he doesn't want to be the one responsible for officially ending it so he's making my life hell). At any rate we've been together for 4 1/2 years, and living together for 2 1/2 years now which complicates everything and just generally sucks. We don't even talk anymore and we share the same apartment...it's torture. I just need to end it, but I'm weak and that's all there is to it. I'm weak and pathetic as hell. Good luck to everyone else. Never in a million did I see myself where I am today, and it's all my fault.

My fiance called the wedding off 3 weeks beforehand. No real explanation. Wasn't happy "enough"? Said that maybe after a year of counseling he could see his way through to getting married. He proposed, he set the date - I never pushed for marriage. I don't get it. And then, he still wanted to go on our two week honeymoon, with me! Now its like he's angry at me because I don't want to be intimate with him anymore. Did he really think I'd just hang around and go about business as usual? Boy am I glad that we live together. . . . . . .

I just broke off three days ago, my engagement to a very lovely man named Mitch. He's like the best guy in the world. We'd known each other a very long time, but only started dating seriously two months ago and then got engaged two weeks ago. He has hardly any flaws, and I have never once criticized him. He is trustworthy, responsible, and fun (to a point). The problem: He does not accept me the way I am. I am a good, kind woman and a very hard worker, but I have a host of problems like drink too much sometimes, and don't pay my bills like I should. I've always been like this. When I was a kid all I wanted to do was play outside. Who we were as children says a lot about who we are today! Anyway, it is paramount in a relationship that the would-be-spouses accept each other, flaws and all. OR else get out of the relationship and move on to someone you can indeed accept, just as they are. I'm heartsick about this but at least relieved that we won't have to go through a divorce later on down the road because he just cannot accept me the way I am. Never try to change a person. It only will destroy love down the road.

My fiance just ended our 5 yr relationship. We were buying a house which I knew he didn't want and he was just going along with it to please me. Our wedding was canceled as the airline went bust, so at least I don't need to cancel it. We were living together 3 years and I miss him so much. He says he still loves me but he knows we are not right for each other anymore. We canceled the house and I know it was a mistake I made to push him for it, but its gone now. I wish he could just fight for us.

Your Comments My fiance is so jealous of my guy friend that it is ruining our rel'p. I have a close guy friend I've known/lived with for over 10 years and we email often as we're not in the same city. I have even told my fiance that I told my guy freind to stop emailing me because my fiance was insecure about it. So, the other day my friend emailed me to look over his resume and my fiance freaked out. He called off the engagement because of this and told me he can't accept the fact I have guy friends. HE thinks as soon as people get engaged, they should cut out the opposite sex. I totally disagree and feel he's being rediculous and fostering an unhealthy rel'p. What have you people done with regards to friends of the opposite sex? Dealing wiht jealousy this intense is ruining me. He gives me ultimatums to chose between my friend and him.. Totally ridiculous! We have had so many arguments in the past few months and he's threatened so many times to call off the engangement and move out.. it's such a terrible situation I am in and I feel i am going to lose it soon.

I am considering calling off our engagement. Before we got engaged and at the beginning of the engagement we still spent a lot of 'couple' time together doing things. Now the wedding is like an excuse for him to play his video games all the time. We work different hours so I think it would be nice if he would play during the day while I'm at work and while he's at work I would do some of the wedding planning. I think the few hours a day we have together we should do something together....instead he plays all day while I'm gone and then comes home shoves his food in and plays his games again because his friends are on more at night than during the day. The weekends are pretty much the same. He will go food shopping with me or whatever errands I need to get done, but then he's itching to get home and play his games again. I feel like I'm no longer important to him. This past valentine's day was the first day in a looooong time that we actually did something together that wasn't a chore or an errand! He argues with me every time I try telling him how I feel about it. I'm not sure it's worth the frustration anymore but I know that I don't want my life to be like this. I don't want to be married to someone who cares more about his online friends and games than his wife....or should I say just some lady who cooks and cleans for him...that's what I really feel like. I've already taken my ring off. We had a fight about it today in our passing between me getting home from work and his leaving. If things don't come to a compromise this weekend, I think this has to be it. I'm getting depressed over this.

Wow. I though my situation was bad. My fiancee just broke of the engagement about a week ago. Didn't argue with her..won't try to contact her. I'm really hurt, but at least I wasn't nearly as involved as a lot of you were. Didn't live together yet and we were only engaged for 2 months. Still stings though.

My brother's fiance told him two weeks before the wedding that she has "fallen out of love with him". My baby borther spent 12 months of their engagement lavishly adorning her with gifts he could barely afford...50-60 thousand dollars worth of jewelry; their tickets to trip to europe; her shopping with his credit card that he is still paying up for ... she doesn't work; he supports them both. everyone in the family could see she is too much of a flake except him... now he is heartbroken. See from the get go that the person you are trying to hook up with is a responsible person in other ways!

i broke it off with my fiance in december because he started treating me very coldly and being distant. i later realized i did some things to lead up to that, but ultimately he wasn't willing to communicate his needs and desires to me in a way that could have been productive. instead, he wound up backing away from me during one of the most stressful times in my life. i felt all alone. he left me no choice but to end it. now he is totally cold and not at all the amazing man who asked to spend his life with me. he doesn't even call/write to see how i'm doing, how could he ever have loved me and so easily treat me this way? i still don't know what to think of it...so i stopped trying. he doesn't think of me anymore.

My fiance just broke things off with me. We've been dating for about 7 years and living together for the last year. She says that this is not the life she pictured and wanted to still have fun and party it up. Well, both our names are on our lease so I'm trying to find options out. She sleeps in the guestroom now and parties 24/7. It's not enough that she broke everything off with me, I have to see her daily too.

My finace and I were supposed to get married on Halloween of this year but we both lost our jobs 2 months before so due to the fact of a financial reason we postponed it. Last night he picked a fight with me and told me to give him his ring back that he never wanted to marry me and has been feeling this way for 5 months but did not know how to tell me and did not want to hurt me. Says he still loves me and wants to be with me but does not want the pressure of being engaged. Just had me renew our lease and spend money on his family for Christmas and then pulls this. Everything is in MY name too so even with the 2 jobs I have now...I cant pay for it all myself. It hurts to think I have been used this whole time and to be honest...I dont know if I will ever be able to trust him again.

All this is about a woman calling off an engagement/wedding that was set....here it is a week before Thanksgiving and MY wedding was set for Christmas Eve! Last Sat we were to meet with the reverand for the preparations and to schedule a rehearsal...3 hours before we were supposed to meet the reverand, my fiance who has been living with me in MY apartment (yes, he has a job, a very good paying job he got 3 1/2 months ago with my prodding him and who asked me to marry him sept 20 and we set the date oct 28!) tells me he wants to HOLD OFF on the wedding...it turns out he's NOT READY TO GET MARRIED RIGHT NOW! NOw he wants to postpone it until Valentine's Day next year. I agree with Josie....HE wants to postpone it....wants to still be engaged and still wears the band I gave him constantly...but the thing is...I don't TRUST him anymore. HOw do I KNOW he won't do it again? After all the time, money, effort, embarrasment to friends, family and guest who were planning to come?

My fiance, a Scottish lady that I met in Edinburgh, of a couple of months broke off the engagement. It was very painful. She complained a lot about my children, who she knew were going to live with me. Then she was very impatient about finding somewhere to live together -- even before we were married. Her business got in a lot of trouble and she had to move offices to home, this was stressful for her, and she claims I wasn't there for her, even though I did support her emotionally. Then she gave me ultimatiums -- said I had to "move fast or else", and pay for everything "offer FULL SUPPORT or else" -- meaning for her, her two kids, my two kids and I -- basically said if I couldn't afford her and her kids, forget it. All kind of conditions. She started complaining about everthing, called me lazy (first time in my life), said nothing I did was satisfactory for her. I saw she was all about money, and this mattered even though before she said it didn't. She was VERY high maintenance as it turned out. Then she started cheating -- at least emotionally -- on me with x-boyfriends, having dinner, dating them, especially this one older guy she said was "very old" but paid a lot of attention to her. Then she turned around and said I was controlling -- OK i did get insecure and jealous over this. Then she stopped wearing the ring, especiall y on days when she saw him. Supposedly it was about business. But she got upset when I asked her why she wasn't wearing the ring anymore. It was really tough for we had a loving, passionate relationship with great sex the 8 months before. Tough ending, she was really nasty and critical to me, although coulnd't take any criticism herself, and ran away when I tried to talk to her. It was really sad. I had to ask her a few times for the ring back. At first she said she lost it, then finally gave it back. Along the way she tryed manipulating me, making me trying to explain certain things to her, just the way she wanted to hear them, or she wouldn't talk to me. In retrospect, I should have done more research on her. She had a lot of baggage, a lot of anger inside I didn't see. Also, I learned a lot about myself. New rules -- no (serious) dating uptight businesswomen who want control, no women my age -- must be younger, and no one with children -- too complicated. Sad, sad time for me.

My fiance called off our engagement in June. We bought a house ten months before we got engaged. I did my due diligence in that she said she wanted to get married, have kids, etc, etc. She talked about our lives together all the time. She even invited my parents to meet her parents before we got engaged and told my mom "the families need to meet before we get engaged and married" Anyway, she flaked out in June. Don't talk to her. No reason to. All I need is for my name to be removed from the mortgage. In any case, it was a bad experience which I learned from. Someone better will come along. I am sure of it.

My fiance just broke our engagement... we are in the home that we recently purchased together still and i love her more than ever... i am not sure if this is cold feet or if i have really done too much over the 7 years we have been together. It hurts to think that through all the growth together she is not fullfilled by me... I do not know how to react right now because she is still with me and we did not have a date set... the feeling of her withdrawing from me just eats me alive... what now... i am heart broken..

My son's fiance' just told him last night that she wants to postpone the wedding because she isn't ready. She says she still wants to be engaged. The wedding is 6 weeks away. What do you think he should do. I myself don't see how he can trust her after this because he will be afraid that she will pull this again
