I truly hate all of this for you. Future faking is a common tactic employed by narcissists and/or personality disordered people. A book that really helped me in the past was Healing from Hidden Abuse by Shannon Thomas. I think you might benefit from some of the concepts outlined therein. Also, reading some of the posts on the Waiting to Wed Reddit boards could be very helpful to you, largely just to help you better understand you’re not alone in your experience, and that healing your heartache is probable. So many women go through similar scenarios, and to see the other side can be really encouraging.

The worst part for me, is that he robbed me of time. And he knew it. I always said that’s the worst thing you can do. I don’t know when my number is up, let me find my people and let my people find me. Now I’m putting the pieces back together but that will also take time.

I often grieve the person I was, not the person that I was with. That pure of heart girl is dead and cannot come back. And she was wonderful.

This is me. My ex fiancé told me, when we got home from the trip where we got engaged, and said that he didn’t want to get married until the five-year anniversary of his divorce. I truly think he just wanted a girlfriend who would never leave him. Every single conversation about a wedding was like pulling teeth. He kept saying, “My ex and I didn’t do much right, but we got it right when we eloped and didn’t have a huge wedding.” I told him a wedding was important to me as my parents’ only daughter. Obviously we didn’t make it. I saw his Vegas elopement photo with his new wife. I wonder if she wanted a wedding too and just resigned herself to an elopement because it was what he wanted.

marriage is not the goal; a loving supportive respectful partner is

Same, she just wanted someone to hold her hand while she was going through big life transitions.

The man before my husband had me convinced he was going to really commit to me while continuing to lead me on. It hurts, I know, but if my husband could find me when I thought maybe I didn't deserve or meant to have love than I know it can happen for you. I hope you get all the good things you've ever wanted and that you wake up knowing you deserve those things. 💖

Oh wow, I felt this. I was engaged with no ring. No real plan for marriage even when I would try to sit and plan it with him.

I'm so sorry you've gone through this. But the fact that he was only putting obstacles in your dreams that you were trying to work around is a clear indicator that this is how the marriage would have been. Thank God the cheating happened before you guys got married and not 20 years into your marriage. You have all the right to grieve and feel everything you're going through and the moral of this situation is to make sure you are building a life with someone who makes your life easier instead of harder

I had an ex who had a timeline of marriage and looking back I honestly believe he never wanted marriage. Fast forward to my now husband who actively was a part in all of the wedding planning and made the financing work. There’s still good guys out there and i know you’ll find someone that makes you feel special! ❤️

While I don't entirely relate to you 100%, as someone who did get married and was told 2yrs after separating that he "thought proposing was the right thing to do", these realizations hurt like hell 😔 just goes to show that you seriously don't know who someone really is until the end.

You’ve helped me with my separation from my ex fiancé, and I feel the same way you are expressing in this video. I found out he was still looking at his ex’s socials after he proposed, and I just felt deep in me that he didn’t want ME, he just wanted someone, and the way he treated me, obviously I wasn’t the one. We knew eachother since middle school. when we reconnected at 22,we dated three and a half years (including the proposal).

I had an ex fiancé who we were planning everything. I ordered a dress. We were looking at venues. One night I was at work, he was txting “love you see u after work”. When I got home, he was gone. He blocked me everywhere. I found out 2 weeks later he had another gf and was cheating. I never saw it coming.

I was married for 13 years to a man that hated me from day one. he's remarried with kids, and I haven't gone on a date or had anyone interested in me for over a decade now. is this it? like, where's the love I've been putting out into the world? when's it my turn?

You probably don’t want to hear this right now but he did you a favour. Better to know now. You are young and beautiful. You have so many exciting chapters ahead of you.

WeDidn’tStartTheFire :
My ex and I were together for almost 6 years and I had told him from the beginning that five years was my limit cause realistically not only where we living together at that time, but you should know if you wanna marry someone within five years or that’s just a waste for everyone involved And I stupidly gave him more time than five years even though I also informed him that he could get me a ring from Walmart or Etsy and I would be completely fine a.k.a. less than $300. But it never happened and there’s so many other things that literally never happened that I was told wood and it just got to a point where everything was built off of false promises that if they did happen, it was after months and months and months of arguing over it

Our stories are so very similar. Thank you for sharing your story with us. We were going to get eloped in Vegas in June after 7 years together - relationship ended over a month ago. I’m also in a self-exploration phase of life after all of this - but wow, sooo eerily similar! My ex was very hands off with wedding planning and specifically brought up financial aspects of that (and everything else) - and then found out about the other woman that I believe he started seeing more intensely once wedding planning started.

Omg we also had significant weddings after ours & that’s what made our marriage unravel. I found out he was cheating days after the wedding & never mailed in the license!

This happened to me too like it seems with everyone else! And I begged him to stay and tried to work it out by myself. Two months later I met the most beautiful human being. We’ve been married 9 years now and have a wonderful partnership and two kids. It’ll happen just not as your time line originally anticipated!

I relate so heavily to how you’re feeling after all this. I wish I had some big encouragement I could give you about how life will get better but all I can say is you’re not alone. This is one of the most supportive comment sections I’ve ever seen. All of us whether strangers, friends, or mutuals empathize with you and have your back. I can tell from this video alone that your love is pure. Don’t let your ability to love change because of this man. Keep loving others. Your love is one of your biggest strengths and reconnecting with people or things you love during this rough time could be really beneficial.
