He must be really slow. 4 years replationship hasn't helpt to make up his mind. poor girl. it's a right decision though.

Damn, I hate that insane, impatient female marriage monsters! (who also seem to be present amongst the commentators, "dreamagain" et al) She really deserves what happened. C'mon, 4 years? That's ridiculous! If you get married after 4 years, you'll get divorced after 10. Selfish B... like her are responsible for the high divorce rates nowadays. Lucky for the guy though. Now he knows that his ex-gf was just one of those manic girls who just want to get married, no matter to which guy. Wish him all the best, and that he doesn't want her back. I can not understand why people criticize the OP. I can understand why this is a crappy situation for her. Probably telling her sister wouldn't change anything, because this bi... probably already has picked a new guy ('cause that's what marriage monsters do. They don't DUMP boyfriends, they CHANGE boyfriends! because they have a big problem with being on their own). And hopefully, it wouldn't change anything because the ex-bf doesn't want her back. As for her sister, YDI so much!

FYL? How do you think HE feels?

ughn. I voted 'No' for this. It's more like FHer/His life...not yours.

may be he was practicing to propose to someone else??

f his life, not yours. he should have just gotten on with it, how long does it take for a proposal to be planned!!??

damn....did they get back together?!!

What a selfish ****. If she wanted the contract and the ring SO BADLY she should have proposed herself.

Normally I might suggest something along the lines of "explaining it" to her. However, in this case, I won't. If your sister got so fed up with him at this juncture, a month or two of difference won't even necessarily make a difference. That's not to mention that some people need more or less time to come to bear with the commitment, even if 4 years does seem a bit extreme (although believe me when I've seen much longer ones that still worked out fabulously). A lot can also happen while you're still young (assuming that's the case). If it mattered to her so much, she could have said something about it without breaking up with him. As such, your sister's lack of tolerance and apparent inability to communicate well with her "would be" spouse would suggest that she coincidentally isn't really marriage material yet. It's a good thing he hadn't actually proposed yet. Maybe - just maybe - her ex-boyfriend might have just been spared a potentially odious and vexing marriage and possible divorce. It's actually probably better off this way. Oh, and this isn't really your fault at all. The BF decided it would be a good idea to plan the proposal... which it actually was. Timing CAN be everything in these matters. Unfortunately, this just wasn't good enough for your sister. The fault is your sister's and hers alone. This just isn't YDI/FML material (at least not for you anyway).

How does that make YOUR life suck?
