I want to say this once because Im not very happy, thois has been the roughest few months of my life, weve had alot of stress and insted of handling like two people in love, we are ripping at each other. I broke off my engagement today, Im very sad..but I have so many people FMing me about vendors and such , and i really just dont feel like talking about any of it right now. I feel like cralwing into a hole and hiding for ahwile. Thanks everyone for all of the support that I know you are about to send my way...I will be fine though.

Re: I broke off my engagement

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know exactly what you're going through b/c I also called off an engagement. We were together almost 6 years so it was incredibly difficult but it was the best decision I ever made. I lost a few thousand dollars between deposits and stuff but that's nothing compared to what I would have lost had we went ahead with everything. I admire you because there are a lot of unhappily married people out there who didn't have the guts to call things off when they should have. My current FI was right under my nose the whole time! We work together and I literally never gave him a second thought until 2 years ago. Just take whatever people say to you during this time with a grain of salt b/c right now nothing will make you feel better and unless someone has been thru it, they might not know what to say. I work with mostly men & I had guys saying to me, 'What? Did you catch him cheating or something?' and then they would laugh. And I would say, 'Uh, no. It's none of your business but if I had, that would be funny to you?' I wish you luck and if you ever want to FM me, please do.

It's not going to matter to you right now, but it's better that you realized this now before you went through with the wedding.
