Wow. I feel an aweful lot like a truck just ran me over, hollowed me out, and left me for dead. My FI just called off the wedding. I've been crying for the last hour. Every time I think I have it under control, I break into sobs again. He says he loves me, wants to spend the rest of his life with me, but he does not want to marry me. Not right now and not in the foreseeable future. We have been engaged for almost a full year. We are 7 months out from the wedding with everything booked, deposits having been paid, and Save the Dates having been sent far and wide.
I said to him,"We've been engaged for a Year! It didn't occur to you before now?!" and his responce was that he'd not really thought about any of it until now! WTF?! After he said his piece, I kicked him out for the weekend. I'm so deeply hurt that I wanted him gone both before I said anything I'd regret and before I broke down crying all the way. I didn't know what else to say to him. I did thank him for being honest with me, told him I still loved him, and then politly asked him to get the heck out.
I should have seen this coming since this was already the worst January ever. So far this month I have had my car permenatly breakdown, found out my apartment possibly has black mold and we'd need to move, 3 of my uncles died (all in the last two weeks!), my pet bunny has been sick, and, well, now this. 2010 is not being kind to me thus far.
Wow. I don't even know what to say other than I AM SO SORRY! That must be awful. We're here for you!!!
oh, honey...im soooo sorry! that made me cry! i know this seems like the worst thing ever, and it sucks that it took so long for him to come to this realization, but at least take comfort in the fact that at least he said this now...not after the wedding!! you are better off to know this now. im sure it was really hard for him to tell you this, i just wish he thouht of it before he proposed!!!! i can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. why exactly does he not want to get married, if he wants to be with you forever still? what does he have against marriage? my heart goes out to you...
I am so sorry this has happened to you. I wish I had something amazingly insightful and meaningful to say, but right now it seems like that nothing would matter. (((HUGS)))
oh my gosh i'm so sorry to hear you are going through this. ((((((HUGS)))))). i also can't express how much i wish i could say the perfect thing to give you some comfort, but please know that we care for you and are hear to listen when u need to get your feelings out.
Do you think he was in the "heat of the moment" and said that out of anger/confusion?? He doesn't want to get married but wants to stay together?
(I apologize if you don't want to talk anymore details if it upsets you too much..just thought i'd ask because i feel for you)
Oh rabbit, I am SO sorry this happened to you. I wish I had the perfect thing to say, but know that my heart is going out to you.
Ouch. OH honey, my heart just ACHES for you, so, so much. I cannot even imagine what you're going through and this has for sure been a rough, rough january for you. Love you, here for you, and you know you can count on the hive to listen.
(hugs) I know this is hard, but hopefully by him saying he still wants to spend the rest of his life with you, and he still loves you gives you comfort. Maybe it is something about the wedding specifically. I really hope things work out for you.
Im so sorry, I have no words for you other than my thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. I hope you realize how much love is here for you here at the Hive and I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Men can be so stupid sometimes.
Rabbit, I am so so sorry. I don't know what to say other than that. Feel free to vent here as much as you like, we'll always listen. I hope things get better.
I am so sorry!! :( I don't know if there's anything I can say. We're here for you and I hope that things work out for the best!
OMG I am soooo sorry you are having such a horrible year! And I don't know what to say other than you are the only one that knows what is best for you!
I wish you all the best and my thoughts are with you!
And we are here for you when you need us!
I am so sorry. I hope that you can figure out what to do with your relationship that is best for you.
I'm sorry to hear this. I know things seem hard today but remember that there is a reason life takes these turns and it will all be worth the heartache in the long run.
You know we are all here for you!
Oh I am SO sorry to hear this. I can't even imagine the pain you are going through. I pray that you will find peace in the midst of the chaos.
So sorry for your situation. Based on your posts over the last few months, though, it seems there have been some BIG red flags in your relationship with your FI. It must be extremely painful right now, but maybe you have actually dodged a huge bullet and there will be brighter days ahead. Hope so !!!
I'm so sorry to hear this. My eyes welled up reading your story and I got angry at your FI, too!!! My thoughts were WTF!!! I hope after the weekend you guys can have a talk about it and see exactly what is going on. Keep your head up high girl.
I'm so sorry :( Words fail me. I hope you guys are able to eventually work things out.
Hugs x a million. I'm so sorry...I hope things turn out for the best
Oh Rabbit I'm so sorry. I don't really know what else to say other than hang in there and maybe you can talk through it more with him to figure out what happened when you feel up to talking.
Thanks everyone. i just feel so hurt and set adrift right now. He keeps sending me text messages saying he's sorry he hurt me and that his home is wherever I am. Sweet, but its not really touching the pain in my chest. We're going to meet to talk sometime tomorrow, but i don't know what to say. I feel, how can I ever trust him to follow through on anything important ever again? i feel so emotionally exhausted and physically strung out.
Sweetie, I am so sorry that you are experiencing this (as well as your other hardships thus far). I don't really have any advice, just my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Maybe the wedding was too much for him? Not trying to come up with excuses for him. Maybe the weekend is past you guys can talk. *hugs*
I feel like he's stringing you along emotionally, and that's just not fair. :( I hope you have a good non-WB support system there with you and to talk to.
I am so sorry to hear this, Rabbit... and for the loss of your uncles. I wish you nothing but strength, courage and luck as you get through this. I know you've faced some tough obstacles from reading your posts here and I know you're a strong person from reading them, too. I hope you get through this and know that we're always here for you. Lots of hugs, lots of love and good wishes sent your way
@lilyfaith- I wish I had a strong support system. I've been alone with this basically all night. My one good friend is very far away in Vegas. We talked but that didn't really help as she had nothing to say basically. Not only can she not say anything to perk me up, but she's never had a relationship last more then a few weeks and has never been in love. Makes it difficult for her to give me advice of the heart, ya know? My sister, like my mom, is unreliable and not someone to turn to in a crisis. My brother would have no clue what to do and has his own problems right now. My dad would say all the wrong things (he always does in situations of the heart). My other "close" friend in the area thinks marriage is for suckers and would tell me I had no business gettng married in the first place. i have no real close friends left around here. Everyone has either moved away or grown apart. I have spent all night alone, in my own head with all this.
That basically describes my whole life, ever.
I'm so sorry Rabbit...This made me tear up. I know we're not real friends but you commented on some my threads and vice versa, so I almost feel like I know you. Probably a lot of girls here feel the same and we feel for you and we're here to listen to you or support you in any way you need. There's probably nothing to say that'll make you feel better right now, but please remember this is when it hurts the most and it'll gradually get better every day. I don't know what his deal is, maybe it's just cold feet about the stigma of marriage, maybe all the relationship problems adding up, but I'm hoping you two can find a way to make it work and despite what he says, there might still be a wedding in the future after you work thru your problems. If not, maybe he wasn't the right guy for you and you will find happiness with someone else. I've seen it happen many times. Just hang in there and keep your chin up. *HUGS*
oh Rabbit :( I'm so sorry to hear this... are you involved in a church community at all? I know for me, when I went through a bad breakup just after moving to a new city, someone from my church came just to sit with me, and she ended up being one of my closest friends after that.
I wish we could be there for you in more concrete ways... and I hope things improve and that you and he are able to talk more deeply this week, and come to some sort of closure or understanding or ... something.
OMG?! What is his problem? I would ask him that too when you see him!
1. Did this not occur to him at all before he got down on his knee and gave you a ring and asked you to spend the rest of your life with him?
2. Um, he wants to spend the rest of his life with you, and his home is where ever you are but he doesn't want to marry you?....OH HELL NO...
I'm sorry hun, I would be flipping out on his ass! That is so rude and insensitive of him. I cannot believe the nerve some guys have! Just ridiculous!
I hope he sees the light and that you guys can work this out. :( I know you must feel so lost right now, but you need to stand up for yourself here and tell him exactly what you want. Do you want to get married? What does he think he is getting out of not being married? Seriously? Are you having sex with him (I know that's personal and I don't expect an answer) because I would stop that at this point...because he obviously thinks he can keep having the perks of a marriage without the actual commitment.
Like DDW said, I really wish we could be there in a more concrete way for you. Just know there are bees here for you and that we are sending love and prayers your way. :)
I thought we had enough similarities after your last post, but seeing your lack of support system is another one to add to the list. I know that it's not the same on a message board as having someone show up at your door for you to cry on, but I hope that talking to us here at least helps you clear your head and feel better. I am so sorry that it turned out like this. If you still want to be with him in the long run, it is going to take a long time for him to prove himself to you; that is not the kind of trust he can just apologize and get back. I hope your talk today goes well, and definitely let us know how you are doing! ((((((((((rabbit))))))))))
Oh rabbit!! oh how I wish all us bees can meet you in person and give you all the love you need right now, I (like everyone else) can not even describe the pain you are going through, although he may say sweet things, please dont fall for the lies that he may say, because he got your hopes up on marriage and long life together. If you need anything, no hesitate to message me anytime!! I m sending you lots of love!! also if you like animals, you should get a cat! I know my four leg friends always cheer me up when I am alone!
There's nothing that I can say that's not already been said. The hive is always here for you. Biggest hugs to you.
I'm so sorry rabbit. Please do count this community as part of your support system. Sometimes it's hard to ever know why these things happen or to make sense of it, but weirdly, growth comes out of the most difficult situations.
You've been dealt a horrible hand this January, but there will be better days ahead. I'm sending you as much peace and strength as I can... and know that we're always here!
O dear o dear. My heart truly aches so much for you. I am so sorry! He should have thought about this a lot sooner, my FI even agrees (I had a moment of WTH? when reading your post and he asked to be clued in) I just wanna sit and eat ice cream with you. ((((HUGS))) So so sorry. I really hope things work out the best for you, I believe everything happens for a reason and that good things will come of this.
im so sorry Rabbit for what you are going through. Im just not sure why he proposed in the first place if this is how he feels...I read some of your earlier posts...do you think that his family has anything to do with his decision? I saw that you were having some issues with the FBIL. I think that you just need to focus on yourself for a bit...join a gym...I made some good friends just doing workout classes...I started talking to people before and after classes when I was going through some rough times...as for how you proceed from here with you SO...that is going to be up to you two...I know what I would say Id like to do in that situation...but when you are actually IN that situation it is totally different. I wish you all the luck with this...and make decisions that are best for YOU...my thoughts are with you.
