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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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, 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
Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he wished he never met me and that he wished I didn't exist. Our wedding is next week. FML
Today, I married the love of my life. I was ecstatic until the wedding reception, where my new husband got drunk and started crying about how he'd been "forced" into marrying me. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of ten months that I'm not ready for marriage. A few hours later he proposed at my grandma's 85th birthday party. She cried when I said no. 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, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML

Although it may have been embarrassing for you, I assure you it was him they were judging the shit out of.

It's so cruel of him to embarrass you like that. If he didn't want to get married, he should have told you that in private. If it's any consolation, at least he's shown his family and friends how much of an asshole he is.

Cruel but not sure it would have been better to go through the dinner not saying anything. If he told him in private it still would have ruined the diner anyway. Not sure there would have been a better time

There are a million better times than to do it in front of everyone.

Do you think this was a spontaneous epiphany at the dinner table or what? Maybe just cancel the dinner and take the time to do it in private. Being an a**hole is a choice.

Maybe he doesn't know he's your fiancé. Did you talk to him about it?

Wow what a asshole for not saying anything before the dinner and canceling

Who says he even knew this would be happening? OP says she's been planning it, not they were planning it together, which makes it seem like he didn't know.

The FML says "I'd been planning with my fiance" which makes it seem as if not only did he know but that one had already proposed to the other (otherwise it would be boyfriend not fiance), and therefore he definitely could've brought it up at any time prior to the dinner.

Fair point. I read that as a dinner she was planning that would have her fiance there with her but it's likely I was wrong there.

When you proposed to him, was his answer "...uh... sure..."

Someone needs to teach him how to work on his timing.

Sorry to hear he doesn't want to marry but why did you set up this huge dinner without making sure you both want to have this "coming out" (for lack of better term) moment?

You seem more upset about crying in front of people than you do about your fiance dumping you.
