Today, to avoid disappointing my excited great grandmother, I still attended a small family dinner to celebrate my engagement. My fiancé and I split last night, I haven't slept and had to tell her he was caught up at work. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.

Wow, it's obvious how much she means to you; that must have been excruciating! I'm sure she would have understood, but what's done is done. Hang in there!

She has seen and experienced so much in her life she probably has a great perspective on the situation. Confide in her. Elders aren't as fragile as we tend to think. She might enjoy talking about love and it's complications. Let her try to cheer you up instead of being hurt more having to pretend for her. Might even learn some surprising things about her.

I'm sure she'd be more disappointed with him and not you. I'm truly sorry though. Hope you and him can work it out and if not I'm sure your great grandma will be there for you. Hang in there.

Aww sorry op, things will get better. You can always tell your parents and have them explain to ppl that you need time before you talk about what happened. Somethings happen for a reason!!

Lying will only make it worse- especially on something as big as an engagement.
