“I had a taste of it myself. I ended an engagement. The wedding deposits were paid, and the wedding date was set. I was completely planning a future with this person. I thought I knew who they were; they put on a great act for my family and friends… Then, once the ring was on my finger and the wedding date set, the mask dropped. He became nearly a different person overnight, completely unhinged, making ridiculous claims. It was incredibly scary, and I was staring at a miserable marriage and a miserable life in the face.”
“The hardest part about the whole thing was admitting it to myself that this wasn’t working, this isn’t the one. The whole trope about ‘You know when you know!’ and being engaged, showing it to the whole world… It was almost embarrassing to admit it, just wasn’t it, it wasn’t working. So admitting it to myself was the hardest part.
Then, following the ending, some family and friends did not believe me and came with comments of ‘You’re being too picky’ and ‘You’ve broken up suddenly with people in the past, you’re just doing the same shit again.’ Finding support and rallying support behind you is important in those times. Those people who will be there for you really show their true colors (and good colors) in those moments.
They all then believed me when he was making completely unhinged Instagram posts. Then they came around to believe me when he was nonstop texting my family and friends more unhinged garbage. Then, he was also posting on Instagram with his new girlfriend that he met literally a week after our relationship ended… Nobody gets a new girlfriend that quickly unless they are cheating. It was absolutely wild.”
