Hi,

I am writing hoping to get support. My fiancé broke up with me 2 days ago. We have been on and off having arguments over the past few months but had been seeing a counselor and both agreed things were getting better - we even stopped seeing the counselor because we were in a good place.

For Valentine’s Day two weeks ago, he wrote me a beautiful card about how he can’t wait to marry me and can’t wait for me to be his wife, go on our honeymoon to Greece, and work on being the person that I need him to be and he said “I want to assure you I will never give up on us.” When he told me that he couldn’t do this anymore, he said he doesn’t think it has been right for awhile and he hasn’t been truly happy since the day we got engaged. He said he doesn’t think we are right for each other, but says he still loves me, cares about me, and that I am an amazing person.

He cried a ton. I cried. We saw a therapist together today but he maintained that he didn’t think it would work between us, even though I said there are things we haven’t tried yet. He didn’t want to drag this out. I said we didn’t need to get married, we could just take it slow. He said no, he just didn’t think it could work.

I’m so sad but also grateful our invitations didn’t go out and it wasn’t at the wedding. I’m disappointed and a little angry he didn’t tell me he was still losing hope. He said he was still hopeful, and then he just lost hope. He never let me in that he has slowly been losing hope. I also wanted more from him than him just saying it wouldn’t work. Like - why? Why doesn’t he think so?

We were together for 3 years. I just love him and care about him and my biggest regret will always be - what if we just tried something different, could that have worked?

anyways. Thanks for listening.

    I'm so sorry this is happening to you. It is so sad. I know that it won't happen over night but slowly things will get better. Make sure to take care of yourself and be kind to yourself.

    Hey! The same thing just happened to me. And basically the exact same way and said the same things. How did you get through it? Are you any better? We were together for three and half years. We loved each other so much and had so much to look forward to. Then one day he says I am not happy. That hurts because I worked so hard to make sure he was happy because I loved him so much. Two days before he broke up with me he said I am not happy anymore. I deserve to be happy. I kept saying what could I have done. How could you propose and then leave in less than a year? Did the proposal mean that little to you? I don’t understand how someone could promise to love you forever and then less than a year after saying that decide it’s not worth it anymore. I have tried getting answers and won’t ever give me anything. He expected me to be ok with it within a week. I don’t think he gets that I loved him so much. This is not just a normal break up. I had my wedding dress, the venue was booked... I don’t get any of it. Any advice since your story sounds like mine?

    Sorry I just sent you a message and then realized I got to carried away with it and jumped ahead. Two days before leaving he told me that he loved me and would never leave me and then two days after he said I am unhappy and deserve to be happy.

    Hi,
    I am going through a very similar situation. He left me three days ago. He lived in my house and had two children that I have helped raise over the last couple years. He said pretty much the same exact thing and I am devastated. He has so much drama with his ex wife and family that I felt like we always were battling something. And in the end it just broke us. I wanted to
    Keep fighting. They were my family (the kids and him) but he just said he doesn’t feel like we are the right match and that one day I will find the man I am supposed to be with and I will get through this and it will be ok. That killed me. Literally killed my heart to watch the man that I was supposed to marry this October talk to me about another man I’ll be with one day. What’s worse is he decided to rent a condo in my same complex. So I’ll be seeing him and the kids on the reg. He said he did it for the kids so they could still see me and their friends and attend the same school. I get that but watching my family move on in front of my eyes is not what I had in mind for moving on. He leaves on Monday so I have just two days left with him. I barely have slept or ate. I ended up this morning crawling down stairs to the spare room that he’s sleeping in begging him to hold me and sleep with me. I just felt that if we could just hold each other the anxiety and pain would simmer down and maybe I would feel better and sleep. He refused and said that it will be worse if we do that. I cried and begged like a pathetic broken person and he finally sat up and just held me for a few short moments. His children are too toeing around me. I’m watching my family just slip away in front of my eyes and I asked in every way I could to not do this and he said it was for the best.
    How long until did you feel better? I’m desperate to feel better.

    Oh this is horrible what is with these guys. I feel like I was used and played like a fool. I gave my whole heart and soul and devote my life to my 'husband to be". He asked to married me... I never demanded it and he wanted to get married sooner versus later. We had the most romantic Valentine's day, couple's massages and pedicures and a wonderful night out with music and wine. The next weekend we were finalizing wedding plans- he was telling me he can't wait to spend his life with me. We were to be married in 3 months. He woke the next morning and was like I can't do this anymore-mike drop and left. He came home yelling after work packed his bags and left. I pathetically and repeatedly begged him to stay- BEGGED like a pathetic fool....the same damn thing that I promised myself I would never do. I knew I deserved better, we all know better. I thought forgiveness is a high "power" of true love and I wanted to prove my love, show how much I loved and cared for him. I told him I forgave him, to come home- for days, I chased a man who used to long for me, who now ignore me.. cold heartedly. There was no explanation, no conversation, nothing, I feel sooo broken and mad at myself for trying to contact him. We never had a conversation of what was wrong beforehand. How to you fix something you don't know is broken. I know I am better off to move forward, its the pain of the lost "future" we were going to have that hurts so horrifically. I have chest pain and anxiety attacks from the not knowing what really happened. It his escaping and hiding and complete lack of communication that makes this so unbearable.

    Family and friend have been wonderful in their support. They are my rock.

    After reading all of these entries and my own pathetic one, I ask is How and WHY do we allow ourself to get into these situations. I think I missed an early step of the assessment process in which I "thought" was love and compromise" but was truly incompatibility. My mistake, my lesson I have so miserably have learned.

    Please think about you own situations and let me know what you think.

    Sorry so long but we are here to share our pain and process of how to move on.
