Get out while you still can

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, 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, 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, my fiancé of two years told me he was bored of me and he'd just prolonged the engagement to see if anyone more interesting would come along in the mean time. He was upset because no one did. FML

Today, my fiancée handed me her engagement ring back and told me she felt like she's pressuring me into marriage, so to make me feel better about it we’re no longer engaged. On top of this, I found out she’s started talking to her ex again. FML

The faith of acceptance

By Lesbo88 - 28/03/2022 16:00

Today, I sadly had to tell my fiancé of 3 years that I realized I’m a lesbian and not really attracted to men, and therefore I called off the wedding. He decided to retaliate and out me to my very Christian parents, who are unhappy campers right now. “Unhappy” is an understatement. FML

Is that the only reason he wanted to marry you? So he would stop getting his period?

#8 -- I suppose pregnancy often happens after marriage, and periods stop with pregnancy. Maybe someone made a joke or sarcastic comment about that at some point and someone else naively took it seriously? Who knows. At any rate, OP, FYL, and may your next sweetie be smarter.

Well that's probably a good thing--chances are he'd start calling you a witch if you had your menses after your wedding! Go find a video on YouTube that talks about women's cycles until menopause and email it to him.

He also HAS to stop having morning wood, scratching his balls, and urges to belch! He can't? Same reason as your periods: basic biology!

Wow. And my bf thought a woman pees out the same hole used for sex. Men are hopeless sometimes.

People keep writing that this must have been the only reason he wanted to Marry you- wtf? That doesn't make any sense- why would a guy marry a girl so she wouldn't get her period- that sounds like more indenture for a woman to get married- and has he NEVER met a couple who got pregnant after they were married-??? This guy is a blue ribbon ****!!

Today, there was a long queue at the store, and behind me were two senior citizens. I wanted to do a good deed, so I said, "Cut before me in line, I have all the time in the world." My reward? The old man scolded me because I supposedly insinuated that they were old, and only had a short time left to live. FML

Today, as I walked out of the local store, I noticed a young girl was sitting on the curb, crying. I nudged her with the Snickers bar I had bought earlier, thinking she needed it more than me. After looking at it, she yelled, "PEDOPHILE!", punched me in the balls, and then ran away screaming. FML
