We all know how devastating it is to be dumped. Between the shock and the heartbreak, it can feel like the world is crashing down on you. But this feeling is temporary, even though it seems to last an eternity. And the longer you're with someone, the more it hurts, and the longer it takes to move on. Now, add that you're engaged to be married? This will take some serious therapy to get over. 

This couple went through thick and thin together, traveled for a pre-wedding vacation, and upon their landing, broke up. This man told his fiance he doesn't want to marry her anymore. I can hardly imagine a heavier blow. Planning your future with someone is a conscious and devoted decision. You have been sure and ready, and now you want to spend your lives together. And when it ends…you're left feeling like, 'now what?' Enjoy this Reddit piece about the juicy details of a audacious man leaving his woman in the least assuming circumstances.

    It was nice! But near the end he got more and more distant and once we landed back home I joked it was back to wedding planning, and he got very serious and admitted that he doesn't think planning a wedding is a very good idea. He said the family : drama had made

    last home. He's staying with his brother. I'm numb at this point. Everything's gone off the rails. The cruise actually made me feel worse, like he was just wanted to have fun and was using me for before dropping me. I hate all of this.

    Contract Mediocr... • 21h ago Ummm, anyone else remembering the Reddit story where OP blamed the drama on the not invited "cousin with mental illness" when said cousin's mother was funding the wedding? When the aunt found out

    her own daughter isn't invited to the wedding she is funding, she withdrew the money. OP then called the cousin and blamed her for having to cancel the wedding because she couldn't afford it on her own.

    This sounds an awful lot like an update to that. And if it is, I'm happy your (ex) fiancé saw the light and dumped you.
