No longer a wedding or relationship

maxi-qu, 9 February, 2014 at 05:27 Posted on Planning 0 38

This isn't something I thought I would be writing, oh and I split up yesterday. after 6 years together.

after finding fb messages sent a year ago (very flirty ones) I asked him why? And after a few hours talking he admitted he didn't want to get married and he was doing it because he thought it was what I wanted and would make me happier. He then went on to say he didn't think he was mature enough to be in a relationship and we are at different points of our lives.

so 2 days ago I was planning my wedding and now I need to cancel it. Also move out of our house (that we rent together) and in somewhere else.

thanks for all your help with everything so far, you can see I won't be staying on the site for much longer, however I do have 4 bridesmaids dresses never worn and a wedding dress that will never be worn so might sell those on at a later date, when things have blown over a bit.

    I'm really really sorry to hear that.

    Its going to be tough for a little while so make sure you look after yourself as best you can and surround yourself with your closest friends.

    Sending you a weirdy Internet hug xx

One day you'll look back on this time in your life and realise everything happens for a reason. ...may be difficult to hear a.t.m but maybe you guys aren't right for each other, and your Right Person will come along eventually. You must be devastated just now....I try to think of how id feel in your shoes and its heart breaking Smiley sad your family and friends will be there for you to offer their support in any way they can, im sure x

    I'm so sorry to read this, you must be going through hell right now.

    I'm sure this is of no comfort for you but I believe everything happens for a reason, you do not know why right now, but soon it will all become clear and everything will make sense.

    Take some time to get your head together and remember to look after yourself, you're number one x

    if it's any consolation, there was a thread similar to this a while ago...guy cheated on girl and she called off the wedding with a week to go. At the time, she posted saying how devastated she was and how she didn't know where to go or what to do. A few months later she came back on the forum to update us and said she had got a new job in Dubai and had met someone new who showed her what it was like to be truly loved by someone and she realised that all that had happened was for the best. This will be the same for you, in time. You are already being incredibly brave. Good luck to you.

    I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I agree with the posters above that you will come out of this stronger and that it is better to find out now that he isn't as mature as you than later. For now please be kind to yourself. Take the time you need to focus on yourself and rely on your family and friends to support you through this difficult time.

    I am so sorry to hear this. Without meaning to sound harsh in any way, it is better that you found out now rather than after the wedding. Now you can focus on you and in time you will find the right person. Painful as these things are I do believe they happen for a reason. Hugs x

    Thanks for all your kind words, my girlfriends and family have been stars this weekend, and started to put a plan in place for the short term.

    I do agree with you all, I'm the long term I'll be glad it happened now and that I didn't marry someone who wasn't ready were the relationship would have fallen apart later!

    Thanks everyone

    So sorry to hear this. Not really sure what to say except give yourself time to grieve. Although it probably doesn't seem it at the moment, you will get through it and come out the other end a stronger person.

    Sending you love and hugs xxx

    I used to be on here all the time a couple of years ago and now just lurk occasionally. I know it's horrendous and I know what you're going through but if there is one thing to be glad about and that is that it happened before you got married. My 'marriage' lasted all of a couple of months until I found out what a lying cheating scumbag my ex was as he'd had a thing with his so called 'ex' gfriend and had a child with her while we were together.... and to make matters worse - all his family knew about it, as did his friends and I was literally the last one to know (and that was only through facebook and a desperate phone call to his brother).

    Over the next few months (at least) you'll go through a variety of emotions - from hating him and wanting to find the nearest hitman to loving him and trying to make it work to..... not understanding anything.... to wondering why you didn't realise before and wondering if you're stupid not to have......... and repeat. As I said, it does take time, don't try and rush through things and don't start the coffee and cigarette diet when you can't sleep. If you need to, take time off work........., go on holiday somewhere (nothing like a new experience to help) and as others have said, look after yourself.

    I'm pretty sure that at the moment you semi-hate him but in all fairness it probably took him a lot of courage to come clean.

    I don't know if this helps but it does get better.............. eventually.

    I'm so sorry to hear this maxi-qu. I'm glad you've got a good support network around you. Let them help you, take some time to recover and reflect and don't make any rush decisions. You will get through this and you will come out the other side stronger. Big hugs x

    I remember this lady. She really turned her life around & things have probably worked out far better than she ever thought they would.

    I am so sorry to hear this, but also glad you found out now rather than later, and that you have friends and family around you to support you. I'm sure things will be difficult for a while, but your long tem happiness will feel even more special when you get there as a result.

    I can't say anything better than has already been said above. It's only when things like this happen that you realise you are stronger than you thought. Huge inadequate hugs. Please take care of yourself and we're here if you need to rant (come and join us in OT and avoid 'wedding' talk)
