Today, after months of arguing and conflict, I broke up wIth my fiancé. Or at least, I tried to. The wedding's off, but only until he can convince me to want to marry him again. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiance finally began seeing a therapist, after months of my begging him to. The therapist convinced him that he and I had "irreconcilable differences" so now he's asked for the ring back. FML
Today, my fiancée called off our wedding out of the blue. After a long discussion about it, it turns out that last week I voiced an opinion about the wedding she didn’t agree with, and doesn’t want to spend her life married to someone who’s going to argue with her every five minutes. FML
Today, at our wedding, instead of saying "I do", my fiancé paused before saying, "I can't do this", stepped down from the altar and proposed to my maid of honor. When she obviously refused, he ran from the venue bawling. He's not returning my calls. FML
Today, I tried to break up with my boyfriend. He said no. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of two years that I wanted to get married eventually, and there's no way to talk me out of it. He broke up with me immediately. FML
Today, I almost got married. After the elaborate and very expensive wedding, my "husband" decided he did not want to sign the marriage license because he wasn't sure if he really wanted to settle down after all. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because I was tired of waiting for him to propose. It turns out he was going to propose and had the ring and everything, but I fucked it all up. FML
Today, my fiancé called off our engagement after I contested his belief that women stop having periods after they are married. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that he was having second thoughts on our engagement. Instead of just calling it off, he took me to a fancy restaurant and took a public poll on whether we should get married. The majority said no. FML
Today, my fiance told me that he no longer loves me, that he still has feelings for an ex. The wedding is off and he needs the ring back to give to the right woman. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sorry, what? We need more than this OP.

If I'm taking this in right, you broke up with your fiancé and he can somehow manipulate or convince you to get back with him. If this is the case, it might just be best to try and ignore him. If you're not happy in the relationship and you would rather be out of it, then you don't have to be with him. Staying in a relationship that you don't want to be in can be harmful emotionally.

How can he convince you? Haven't you had enough? Pressure parents forcing you? We need more intel

I just went through the same thing. I ended it with my Fiancé and he won't leave me alone. He is trying everything to convince me to go through with the wedding and get back together.

1) what were the arguments about? 2) is it actually worth leaving the person you PROMISED to marry? 3) if it's that bad then why don't you just walk out?

1) Why does that matter? 2) Apparently so. 3) OP did. The trick, as I know from my own experience with slimy manipulators, is making sure they don't follow.

It's true love when you can't bring yourself to leave. Don't worry

Or, you know, manipulation, threats, abuse...

I think it's safe to say you made the right decision OP. That just screams of possessiveness and manipulation to me.

What??? Once you're in, you're in...Make up your mind...see a therapist, perhaps.

He should be the one to see a therapist. She cancelled the wedding and ended the relationship. The EX -fiance isn't willing to accept it and thinks he can convince her to change her mind and get married anyway. Pressure from him to do something she is no longer willing to do is controlling, manipulative, and abusive. I hope he decides to move on OP, and doesn't turn into a stalker.

After reading this FML again, I realize I could have taken it wrong. The post isn't quite clear on which person the outcome is up to.

In no way should a person feel obligated or forced to stay in a relationship at any point. People want to bitch about divorce being higher I just feel happy people can leave abusive, unhealthy, unhappy relationships rather than be forced to stay. They haven't even taken vows and yet you are acting like op isn't allowed to leave??? Wtf??

WTF? If it's so bad you cancelled the wedding and broke it off with him - THEN DON'T GO BACK. Gave you a "you deserved it/ you dumb idiot" for this anecdote. Seriously, RUN, don't wait for him to try to woo you ?

OP sounds like you got out of a potentially abusive relationship - stay strong and ignore him! Maybe get family and friends to help run interference

Ya OP need more information :P

You can't just try and resolve things? Most verbal arguements can be settled and you clearly love each other enough to almost get married. Smh, this generation just jumps straight for breaking up.

More like we are ABLE to break up and care about happiness rather than how we look to nosy, judgemental people
