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

I'm sorry, what? We need more than this OP.

If I'm taking this in right, you broke up with your fiancé and he can somehow manipulate or convince you to get back with him. If this is the case, it might just be best to try and ignore him. If you're not happy in the relationship and you would rather be out of it, then you don't have to be with him. Staying in a relationship that you don't want to be in can be harmful emotionally.

Might I recommend Marriage Prep counseling? If things are this rocky before you exchange vows it is unlikely to magically improve once you say, "I do."

OP, I'm sure you know this, but marriage doesn't fix pre-existing problems and doubts. In fact, it usually ends up exacerbating them. It doesn't make a relationship last longer than it would outside of marriage. Do what you feel is right. Good luck.

A lot of people seem to be interpreting this differently, but I think OP is saying that she broke up with fiance, but he won't accept the breakup? I'd cut contact with him if he doesn't want acknowledge that you weren't happy with the relationship.

That's what I'm thinking too. Like he's so controlling and unaccepting that he's determined to change her mind (or just threaten her until she gives in). That's how I interpreted it, not as OP leading him on.

Why get back with him if youre not happy and arguing alot? Doesnt sound like you two mix well. Sorry OP just my opinion.

It kinda sounds like the plot to a Rachel McAdams movie. I'm rooting for you two.

Please don't go back. I promise it will get worse. I've been there I tried to leave my exhusband for 5 years before I was able to do it while he was out of the country. Unfortunately we had 2 kids together already. After marriage he became even more manipulative and emotionally abusive.

#16 I am sorry to hear that and hope things are better now. I agree. This relationship will only get worse if he can't get over her ending it. Sounds like this situation will turn into some type of abusive relationship. I've been there with a guy like this. Tried cutting it off and he stalked me. It never ends well.

I broke up with my fiancé before our wedding...a few months later we got back together, and now we've been happily married for 9 years. Good luck, OP!

Cut him out, be brutal. Block his number, block on social media, tell friends and family you don't want any messages from him. If he respects you so little that he'll try to manipulate you into marrying him when he knows you don't want to, then you don't owe him anything. You have to put yourself first.

Op, block his phone number, block him on all social media. Get a restraining order. Document every stalker thing he does.No one should get married to someone when all it is is arguments and conflict.

So it's been 'indefinitely postponed'. Sounds for the best. I had the distinct impression of him showing up at your deathbed, eyebrows waggling. "So…?" "Oh, for the love! Go away!"
