Ex-Fiancés Are Revealing Why They Canceled Their Wedding Last Minute, And It’s BRUTAL

15.

“I was engaged for three years to a single mother. She was great. She was a fantastic girlfriend/fiancé, and the relationship was near perfect except for one thing: her 8-year-old boy. Over the three years, his behavior was getting progressively worse. It was mostly at school until he started bringing the behavior home. Around my fiancé, he’d be good as gold, but the moment her back was turned or she left to go somewhere, he’d turn into an absolute terror. He’d break things and blame me, he’d harm my dog (I caught him once trying to pull my dog’s eyes out, FFS), he’d steal my things, etc. My home life was miserable because of it, and my only happiness came from when he’d go to his father’s every other weekend.”

“I was depressed and stressed, which caused me to gain an enormous amount of weight. I would lock myself away in the bedroom just to be away from him. Then, one day, I realized I could leave, so I did. Two months before the wedding. My family and her family were pissed, but nobody saw how miserable I was. Fast-forward two years, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, I’m the leanest I’ve ever been, I managed to secure a high-paying job, I’m debt-free with a healthy amount of savings, and for the first time in my life, I feel like I’ve achieved something — and I’m proud of that. God knows where I’d be if I had gone through with the wedding.”
