14 Vulnerable Women Tell Bittersweet Stories About Why They Broke Off Their Engagements

Break-ups are never easy, especially at the start. After years of spending every day with someone and building a future together, you start getting used to the fact that they're your person and will always be there for you. Up until life takes things into its own hands, of course. A lot of the time, people choose to ignore the red flags due to a variety of reasons. Some believe they will be able to fix him, others gaslight themselves into believing that that's what they deserve. Then they end up marrying them and after years and years of suffering - they finally break it off. Now if there's one thing that's harder than a break-up - it's a divorce. Especially, if kids are involved. 

Welp, today we're bringing you a collection of 14 bittersweet stories of women sharing all the reasons they chose to break off their engagement before it got to the messy divorce part. If there's one takeaway from all of this it's that while the breakup may be tough on you in the beginning - just know that in the long run, it's for the best.
