Angry He got cold feet again!

...And this time it's over between us. We actually scheduled the wedding for tomorrow, Nov. 24th and just today he changed his mind. In the last few days, I asked him many times if he's sure about this and he said "yes." I figured that something was wrong, given that he forgot to bring the rings or a suit for the wedding; he didn't bring any present for me either, and hadn't proposed to me yet (he did only unofficially on the phone about a weak ago). So I told him it was okay if he changed his mind now, I wouldn't break up with him. But he made me invite two friends as witnesses and schedule everything just to change his mind one day prior to the wedding! That was unacceptable and I don't want to be with him ever again.

He even came to my kids' school (together with his twin brother) to parade there, he met their teacher too. That's so embarrassing! He made a fool out of me in front of everyone.

For months he has been telling me that he wanted to be with me forever, that I was the love of his life, that he loved my children who also loved him so much and are now broken-hearted. We had a wonderful relationship and nothing particular caused this sudden turn. He said I am a great and wonderful women (that's the only thing he didn't lie about! ) and that it wasn't my fault. He also told me the first time that it had nothing to do with my kids as they are great children and he loved them (that I don't believe!). And they adored him. But now they are disappointed and angry with him. They asked me why he decided not to marry me and how can he not know why or not be sure about it. I didn't know what to tell them except that some people pretend to be good, but they are not. I asked them if they were mad at me too and they said "no."

I insisted to do all the paperwork AFTER he proposes to me, but he wanted to have the papers done first so I let him do it his way. Obviously he didn't worry much about my feelings. He is a selfish and inconsiderate.

I am devastated, but most of all, I am humiliated and ashamed. I hate him and never want to hear from him again. I told him it's over and that he will never see me again. He chose that option. His whole explanation was that he wasn't sure so he shouldn't do it. I told him to better be sure about never seeing me again, because that's what he will get. He obviously liked that option.

On top of all, he had the nerve to tell me that he loves me and that there was no doubt about that. He probably thinks I am an idiot. But he is the idiot for losing me, because he will never find a woman like me again, he knows that already. As my friend said: "When you love someone, there is nothing that can stop you from being with them and you cannot be unsure about whether to be or not to be with that person!" Wise girl.

In any case, I am happy he showed his real face now and not later. He is disrespectful towards me and my family (otherwise he wouldn't be such an ******* to all of us - he also tried to fool my mom and my ex-husband); he is unreliable (his word means less than dog's sh*t); he is a liar and pretender (he lied to me about his feelings and intentions), he is indecisive (I like strong and decisive men who chase after me, I hate whimps); he is selfish and insensitive (he doesn't care how I feel now and didn't respect my desire to propose first, but made me schedule everything first) and most of all this proves that he doesn't love me! So there is no space for him in my heart or life anymore. I hate liars!!! He (I mean the image of his pretending) was obviously too good to be true - he just wasn't what he represented himself to be. He doesn't deserve a woman like me.

I wrote this to let you know what happened and perhaps some of you can learn something from my experience. You are welcome to bash him as much as you want (it will be music to my ears). You don't have to console me that he probably loved me or that he will come around. No, thanks, I definitely don't want this liar back in my life ever again! I also know now that he didn't love me.

Even if he would propose to me now or beg me to be with him, he could change his mind after 5 minutes. Or even worse, I would move to another continent with both my children and he would kick us out after a few days or weeks just because he wouldn't be sure he made the right decision (as another of my friends said: it's better that he did it now than later). If I can't trust someone, I can't be with him. Period. I can't be with someone whose word means nothing. I want to know that I am loved, not live in fear of being dumped (my ex-husband left me after I gave birth to our two sons so I am kinda traumatized when it comes to this matter).

But really, what comes around, goes around. Anyone who rejects happiness deserves to be unhappy. Soon enough I will get over and be ready to love again.

Case closed.

Kia kaha

Kia kaha is maori for 'be strong' its my family motto, and i think you personify it.

You have a great grip on reality, give fantastic feedback on all posts ive ever read of yours, you have a sensible and mature perspective on life and i respect that.

You deserve better than him, and when you meet the right man he will be respectful of you and your wonderful opinions, he will be straightforward, honest and reliable you will always believe what he says, he will be so sincere and never make promises he cannot keep, he will be strong, and know what he wants, he will put you first and be emphatetic to your needs and then you will be glad that you didnt marry this guy.

I respect you RP. That is the greatest compliment i can give anyone.

Wow!! That is horrible. He did this to you TWICE? Something sounds fishy. Do you think he is involved with someone else? Or, is it the plain fact, "He's just not into you." I don't know why this man won't commit. He must be brain damaged because you are a beautiful intelligent woman.

You are doing the right thing--moving on and leaving him in the dust. Forget about him--he isn't worth your time and energy. I think he would have to move major mountains to win your love back, but at the rate that he's going all he has moved is a grain of sand.

In the meantime, I'm sorry that you had to go through this. Hang in there. At least you have your twin boys and family to cheer you up and support you. And you have us fellow LSers to support you as well. Take care.

You are so right!
Thank you so much for all the compliments and encouragement, they really mean a lot to me.

I know a better guy will show up, but tomorrow when I wake up, the first thing I will remember is this nightmare that I am waking up into. And that will hurt so much. I am surprised I am hanging on well and don't cry (except once or twice). And most of all I don't feel the urge to call him or go back to the hotel to see him. I just want him out of my life and that's all.

What a jerk!

His loss. This gives you the opportunity to meet someone who really does want to commit. I don't understand what his problem is. I am so glad that you are taking it as well as you are. More power to you RP. We are here for you.

I don't know about the former (it's possible), but I am certain about the letter.

I agree. Thank you.

There are no mountains he can move to win my love back!

Thanks for your support, everyone. Yes, I have my wonderful children and parents, a few friends who support me and console me and quite a few good online friends. I dag out all my old friends and now I really feel much better. Plus I have my dancing and dancing partner too.

Your initial post sounds exactly like my ex. She could have wrote the paragraph with all the bold words. She was always wrong about me, but she protected herself that way.

Seems like pretty much everything reminds me of her lately.

Sorry to hear the sad news.

Just stay strong for your kids.

On the bright side, at least you have some new material for your next album.

It's kind of disheartening to warn people about things, be ignored, and see the things you warned them about come to pass.

Nonetheless, while it's an unfortunate experience, hopefully you'll learn from it and be better able to screen out such people in the future.

In the meantime, I highly recommend you Google 'How to Survive the Loss of a Love'. It's a free online book that's quite good.

Oh, and it's certainly disheartening to play with somebody's misery! You are obviously more concerned about your own advice (whatever it was beofre) than to help me. This forum exists to help people not to give them a hard time, which you're obviously trying to.

You don't drill in people's wounds, you know? I am telling you this because I want to help you be a better person. If you're like this with everyone then nobody will ever appreciate your help. Nobody likes insensitive and self-centered people.


Westernexter, thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

Oh Record Producer - he is so not worthy! You showed true faith trust and love when he pulled this the first time - he is an a$$.

Don't you just wish all these guys would come with a big fat warning label sticking out of their heads?!

Personally I think you need to do something totally fun and just for you and your kids! Is it time for a vacation perhaps?

My heart reaches out to you!

Yes, he indeed isn't worthy! And he responded to my faith, trust, and love with major betrayal.

Their heads are too small for that. Perhaps the list their issues could fit on their backs... if you write really small letters!

I will probably go on a nice vacation (somewhere warm) in January and visit my dad and granparents for a few days too. But right now I have my kids, dancing, and friends to make my life fun and nice. I will also continue working on my music more thoroughly.

Thank you, honey!

I know you and I don't always see eye to eye but I wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry for what happened. You're a strong person and you'll be back on your feet in no time.

Thanks, JS17. You are one of my favorite posters, by the way.

All I'm hoping, RP, is that to save yourself in future you might consider listening to people who try to help you. You said you wouldn't take him back last time but you did and I worry you might again.
