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.
