After Five Years And An Engagement, My Fiancé's Hurtful Comment And Doubts About Marriage Ended Our Relationship.
--------
After five years together and an engagement, a woman's relationship with her fiancé crumbles when he begins to show doubt and hesitation about their wedding and marriage. At first, his disinterest in wedding planning and sudden emotional distance seem like cold feet, but things take a devastating turn when she learns about a cruel comment he made to his friends at a bar.
During a night out, his coworkers were teasing him about getting married when he drunkenly joked, "If she were prettier, I’d be more excited about marrying her." This betrayal shatters her trust, and when she confronts him, he dismisses it as "guys being guys" and claims it was just a joke to shut down the teasing.
As the woman takes time away from their shared home, she learns from his mother, Valerie, that his doubts go deeper—he's afraid of marriage, commitment, and becoming like his father, who cheated and abandoned his family. But things take another shocking turn when she hears his sister, Karina, mention a woman named Maria—Dominic's new coworker.
Meeting with Valerie, she discovers that Dominic had formed an emotional connection with Maria, though he never physically cheated. He used her as an excuse for his growing doubts, feeding into his fear of settling down. However, when the woman meets Maria herself, she learns that Maria never encouraged any romantic involvement and that Dominic's friend Paul had been fueling his doubts, planting ideas that marriage would trap him.
With all the pieces falling into place, she calls off the wedding. Dominic admits that he wasn't sure if they were truly compatible and had been trying to sabotage their relationship instead of facing his feelings. The breakup is painful but necessary.
Three months later, she moves into a small apartment, starts therapy, and rebuilds her life. Dominic reaches out to apologize and reveal he's in therapy, realizing how much he hurt her. His family—Valerie and Karina—remain in her life, offering support.
She finds empowerment in independence, cancels the honeymoon but decides to take the trip alone, and embraces a future where she prioritizes herself. Though healing isn’t linear, she’s moving forward, step by step, choosing herself over a relationship built on hesitation and insecurity.
