Falling in love is one of the greatest and beautiful feelings in the world. You’ve found this person who you connect with, you have a lot in common, you guys are compatible and have a lot of fun together. Weeks turn to months and then years, and you still love spending effective and quality time together. Then he pops the question, and you are happier than you have ever been - until you’re not.
Many, many years ago, I was engaged and wound up calling off my engagement. I was young and in college and met this great guy. He had a troubled and complicated past and lived in a group home, which made things hard for him. However, we got along and enjoyed spending time together. We were together for a year, and then he asked me to marry him. Of course, I said “yes.”
To be honest, looking back, I think I knew it wasn’t a good idea, but I didn’t trust my gut. It turns out my intuition was right. Three months later, he confessed he cheated on me, with a guy no less. I remember storming out of the apartment he lived in with his friend and going home. Everything continued to disintegrate from there. I won’t go into details, but I didn’t handle the situation well. The last thing I did was drop off a garbage bag full of everything he ever gave me and left it at the bottom of his front steps. Then I cut off all contact, pawned the ring he gave me, and never looked back.
Now that I am much, much older, I realize there were many things I missed while in the dating phase. Here are some signs and tips that you need to call off your engagement to avoid problems and choas in the future.
