How many of you have called off a wedding/ended an engagement?

Me- zero

My wife was engaged. They kept putting off the date, both kind of knowing it probably would never happen. Bought a dress though, never booked a venue.

I have respect for those who call off an engagement with an actual wedding date set. I feel like most people just go through with what's an obvious car wreck waiting to happen.

My ex called off our engagement. In hindsight, I dodged a giant bullet

People get engaged now and don’t set a date or get married for 3 or so years, or it ends. It’s almost like a ring is more of a ‘promise ring’ in many cases.

Planning a wedding in and of itself can be one of the most stressful and trying times for couples.

Yup…twice. The first one no date was set. The second one there was a date set. We just grew apart. Sold the ring and made a down payment on a boat. After ten years the boat had a higher trade in value than a wife would’ve had.

Had a chick break off our engagement once. Was quite traumatic at the time. Turned out to be a Godsend.

I did.

And I love being married, but she was a disaster.

Didn't get to the engagement but I dated a girl for about a year. One day I went to her apartment and when I borrowed her bathroom I found a stack of bridal magazines.
It completely freaked me out and I broke it off within a couple of weeks.

Dodged a 50 caliber bullet with that one. It was obvious looking back that she did not want me as much as she wanted the big wedding and all the attention that came with it.

Me. 18 and “in love”. I had to go out of town and she went out fooling around. Thankfully a friend told me what was going on. I was young, naive, and dumb. Well, that’s my story. Been married 45 years now to my significant other.

I had an ex call off an engagement. Looking back, I'm glad that's how it went down. It obviously wasn't going to work.

My ex, married to me for 13 years, is on her 3rd marriage and engaged 4 times. That poor bastard she is married to now, has millions in the bank and zero common sense.

I ended an engagement once. She was a nice girl, but I felt like she didn't completely trust me, which made the relationship sort of difficult to navigate from the beginning.

We had a date in mind, and began talking about venues, honeymoon, and etc. Then a thought suddenly hit me, "I will have to spend the rest of my life with this woman..."

That was when I realized she was not the right person for me. We eventually broke up, and I feel really bad for hurting her, but I do not regret the decision.

My best friend broke it off with his fiancée and they already had some things booked for the wedding. She had gotten fired from her job after the engagement and decided that she was gonna not look for another job and instead start an Etsy shop. She basically earned nothing. It put a strain on their relationship as he was paying most of the bills while she was bleeding her savings and making no effort to get a real job. They broke up and almost immediately afterwards she gets a job and sold her house. The house was in her name and my buddy paid the down payment and half or more of every single note. She took all of the profit and offered him nothing. I’m glad he got out of that shite.
