Get out while you still can

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

Too much pressure

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, 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

Today, at a dinner I'd been planning for months with my fiancé to talk to our families about the wedding for the first time, he told me he didn't want to get married. I cried in front of both of our families and a dozen of strangers. FML

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.

OP here! Had to register, amazed this got published. More info? Sure! My ex (?) and I already live together, and I need 30 days and written notice to legally evict him from my house. He can afford to move out, but I can't. He's not awful, but we fight constantly and the relationship really isn't working, but he won't admit that and is certain that we're soulmates. After the intended breakup, he went right back to business as usual and won't acknowledge the fight or me telling him I want out. He's a good guy, honestly, I don't want to demonize him, but he doesn't understand or accept me. Nor does he understand or accept that I don't want the relationship. I'm "the best thing that ever happened to [him]" and he doesn't seem to believe that there's a future beyond our relationship. It's sad, and I feel bad for him, but I can't guiltlessly extricate myself.
