My FI and I Broke Up and our Wedding is Over!

As I write to you all, I sit here crying because as of last night my FI and I broke up and our wedding has been cancelled. We already called every thing off. As some of you remember my FI and I had a fight over going dress shopping. This sort of escaladed and over the past few days things sort of just got worse. On Monday, David came over and he was upset and felt that I had changed, was selfish and he wasn't really sure what his feelings for me were any more. This was all just an excuse because we ended up meeting last night and he had known for a while that this just wasn't working. He used the dresses as an excuse most likely thinking I'd call it off so he wouldn't have to be the bad one. He ended up telling me that he is in love with me but doesn't know if a marriage between us would ever work...that he has problems within himself that he needs to work out. He feels he jumped into getting married way too fast. There are more underlying reasons to the story which I sort of can piece together. It's hard not to pass judgement on him, but I know that there is no other girls in the picture. I know him well enough to know that there wouldn't be. After talking to many friends and family members this would never be the case. It's just so hard. I can't tell you how hard this is on me. I went to work, only to have to come home. It's eating me up inside. My heart feels like it's been torn out and ripped into a gazillion pieces. What makes this so hard is that him and I have known each other since kindegarten. We have dated for close to three years and really got to know each other for the past six. We were always together and I felt like my life was so dedicated to him and now it's all over. I don't know if I can ever become friends with him again. He wants to take time apart and see what happens. He feels we will see if our relationship is strong enough to get back together. Deep in my heart I know this will never work and I don't know if I can ever be friends with him. That thought is killing me. He has been there for me through other breakups and now it's him that's in those shoes and it's so different because he was going to be my life. I'm heart broken. I can't even begin to tell you how upset I am. I'm so depressed over this. It just stinks!!
I didn't come on here to drown you with all of my problems. I really want to thank all of you girls for your help, advice, ideas, suggestions, etc over the past few months. You have all been nothing but good friends and I feel I have developed some friendships on here which made every thing so worth it. I thank Ron and Liz for such a great site. Don't know what I would've done without it for the past few months as I planned for the wedding I thought I'd have. You girls are great!! I want to wish you all the best of luck with your upcoming weddings...enjoy your special days. I find that it will be just too hard for me to come on here and write as I used to. I will pop on every once in a while to see how you girls are doing. Don't know what path life will lead me in now...but hopefully some day I'll be back on this site with a wedding that was meant to happen for me. On this note, I say good bye to you all and thank you all again

Marissa Don't know if I have any more tears to cry!

wow...I really don't know what to say.
I can only imagine the sadness you are feeling right now and hope that all of your pain and tears will be shortlived. Know that you will survive this a stronger more confident person and you will certainly find that perfect man for you.
Reading your post it is obvious that you are an amazing woman.. because I don't think I could even compose myself to speak even an ounce of kindness towards my ex if this happened to me... i am really touched by your sincerity.

good luck!

Marissa, I am truly sorry. I wish I could say something that would make you feel better, but I am afraid I would only sound cliche. do what is best for you and you can lean on us for anything.

Re: My FI and I Broke Up and our Wedding is Over!

I don't know you and I never saw you post before (Iam an 50 bride).

This is what I know...........

Time heals all wounds. I know it's cliche but it is so very very very true! You can make or break yourself............. love yourself and you will make it. Keep your head strong and high. You will fall short at times, you are only human. Your heart is aching, but you WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!!!! It is just going to take time. You have to surround yourself with your friends and family.......people who love you!!!!
Girl, and I sware this is true, you may not see it now, but everything happens for a reason. Something GOOD will come out of this. I know you have a history with him and you've put in years with him, but you have to take it as a learning experience and go from there. Please take my advice, I have been there.
You only want to walk down the isle when the both of you are truly happy and 100% sure that what you are doing is right. I give him credit to do what he did. It is much easier to put a fake smile on and to walk down the isle then it is to make a big step and call it off. Your FI has to be happy with himself before he can make you happy. He did the right thing. And it's better he called it off now, then doing it last minute. Again, I say TIME. Just give it time, everything will be okay...you'll see. And if the two of you are meant to be, then God's knows it will be!!!!
Go on with you life. Get to know you now!!!
Focus and stay strong. I wish you all the best!!!! Only good will come out of this. And don't give up on yourself!!!!
Take care girl

Marissa,

I'm so sorry. I really do believe things happen for a reason. As others said, you will emerge a stronger person than you were before.

Take good care of yourself. You'll be in my thoughts.
