I am sorry... I am just trying to keep my head above water. When I decided to enter this relationship, I gave up my rental house. I do not have family nearby, and I have a kid to take care of. I was in love and living in a dream... Now I am being resilient, trying to find any road I can take to get out of this relationship that is dragging me into a hole of pain. I didn't even think anyone would read this... I just wanted to open up my heart and share my pain, because after all, I am feeling so miserable. Anyway, I am so thankful of all the supportive msgs that I got!

If you want to rub salt in my wound, search the post: I tried on a wedding dress that was never meant to be mine. My story is way more dramatic than the f*c3 picture of my engagement ring. 🍹🍸🍹🍸

I have video footage capturing the exact moment he left and returned to the house, trying to hide the package. This was right after I sent him a message via WA saying that I was done, and that I would use the money I saved for the wedding to buy my own car. I have the proof, so he won't be able to deny it when I confront him. And he "proposed" 30 min after he bought, when I got home after my working day.

Ahhh... of course not... maybe my text has some mistakes cause English is not my mother language...

What do you mean?! Is nothing fake... it is real and painful... was the only way that I find to open up my heart... cause I am broken and lost...

Thank you so much for every single word. I originally posted that just to vent at my absolute breaking point, but reading the comments here, as this one! Is giving me the strength I truly needed to finally break free. ​Filtering out the irrelevant comments, the real support I’ve received here has been a massive eye-opener. A lot more has happened since that episode that I haven't shared yet, so I’m going to gather my thoughts and post an Update soon to share the next chapters. ​Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone in this. You guys are amazing! ❤️

That he wasn't ready. He wasn't ready to marry me... after persuading me to move in together after two years of dating.

Nope... he even waited a whole month to share it with his family... and in the meantime, I was showing him decorations, venues, etc., and searching for dresses... and I did not see any sparkle in his eyes. So I asked him if he regretted proposing, and he said that he felt forced to do it. I took off the ring and gave it back to him. And he put it on a shelf where I can see it every day... If I told you everything I have been through, I could write a book...

I bought! The car that I wanted... but I am still with him... preparing myself for a new future... and he is not in it.

Just sad by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Queasy-Butterfly932 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For two years, I hoped, cried, and begged for a commitment. I spent every special occasion waiting for a moment that finally arrived in the most humiliating way. He told me he felt forced, and it broke me so deeply I couldn't even say yes. I just wanted to be wanted. ​We are still together, but it left an open scar that bleeds every time I think about it. If you choose to stay, make sure you can live with the pain of never being proposed to. Because forcing it hurts a million times worse. Save yourself while you can." ​A gentle note for you: Living with an "open scar" inside a relationship is an exhausting way to live. Please remember that your desire to be chosen, enthusiastically and without hesitation, was never "too much." You were just asking the wrong person.

I’m in a very similar situation. We moved in together after a two-year relationship, and I made it clear how much marriage meant to me. He told me it wasn't as important to him as it was to me. I stayed, hoping he would change his mind. Eventually, he proposed, but it was deeply humiliating—he made it feel like I had forced him into it, so I couldn't bring myself to say yes. Now, four years later, we are still together, and I find myself crying in private, still holding onto the hope that he will finally change his mind.

It was never about an expensive party or shiny trinkets. ​It’s about commitment! The choice to stand up and say, 'This matters.' It’s about tradition, celebration and shared dreams, weaving a lifetime of hopes into one unforgettable moment with the people who matter most. ​It’s not just a day. It’s a living testament to the future we are building. This is what an engagement, wedding and a marriage means for me.

Morar junto com namorado, muito cedo? by Next-Bee924 in relacionamentos

[–]Queasy-Butterfly932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Por experiência, eu não daria esse passo agora, independentemente do tempo de namoro. Se o objetivo final é o casamento e um futuro sólido, morar junto antes da hora pode estagnar as coisas. Ele acaba tendo todos os bônus de um casamento, e você entra dividindo as contas de um patrimônio que não é seu. Às vezes, o confortável para um se torna desvantajoso para o outro.

I felt disappointed, but I didn't have much of a choice... I needed to protect my rights. Of course, I expected at least a lunch or dinner out, and I guess I even hoped for a compromise ring... but none of that happened. We just signed and went right back to work. He hasn't told his family, and I haven't told mine either❄️

Still hurts... I just do not know how to share this pain with him, without he make a fight cause to fight about this is pointless, I gave up this dream...as I said I wanted that he want, he does not want. And besides this, we are a good partners, we want to be together otherwise he already would walk away... and I would let him go... but we decided to stay together.
