A few months ago I announced to this board that I was finally - at the ripe old age of 39 - getting engaged and was to be married this April.
It is now however, with much regret, that I must inform you all that the engagement is cancelled and the wedding, a mere seven weeks away (with Evil Dildo as best man I kid you not!) is permanently off.
My fiance and I are no longer together. I am in the process of moving my furniture out of the house which we bought together.
The reasons for this sudden split will be made public over time - this board has become like a second family to me - but right now I am at a point where I feel I must grieve for my loss before attempting to pick up the pieces of my life and move forward.
Thanks for all the best wishes and support in the past you guys.
That sucks man. Take care of yourself. Go have a drink with Dildo and tell him I said what up. Take your mind off it. You’ll be fine. Tomorrow’s another day.
I think we all knew this was inevitable due to you’re views on religion (unless that was someone else on here who made their woman cry cuz of said views on religion). Hope you’re alright. I’d be happy to be a drinking buddy if I was local.
Wish my return to prongs could’ve been with regards to happier circumstances, but I heard the news and had to post.
It’s a bummer, but I think the differences ran too deep between you both and you made an extremely difficult, but ultimately, wise decision. You’ve reaffirmed the respect I’ve always had for you in doing so.
You’ll bounce back and be better for it. I know you well enough to not think otherwise.
I’m pretty sure Peligro did the right thing, having now heard the full story. There were far too many suspect incidents which rightfully should have left alarm bells ringing.
Glad you took heed of those alarms and didn’t end up a divorcee like so many others.
I believe the divorce rate is something like 44% in Australia which is mind boggling. And this girl Peligro was marrying was a divorcee with a child, and, well I don’t need to tell you the statistics for second marriages do I? They ain’t so good.
I think with this girl, being Chinese, there were many cultural differences that she just couldn’t accept. The Chinese have certain standards and certain disciplines that Australians find difficult to understand. Probably why their kids do so well at school, seeing ast heir parents are so maniacally driven regarding their educations.
There’s life in the old dog yet, dude. Chalk it up to a bit of yellow fever. That shit can be catchy. Even Without knowing the details, I would still recommend sever all ties with the ex-fiancé, hang out with friends, chat up some other girls (don’t bring up the ex, if thoughts creep in stamp it out and give your attention to someone/something else), invest time in other interests, take up something new even. Best to push forward and keep active
This may seem obvious (even cliche) but strong people can hit avoidable slumps when the emotions take a hammering, and it’s always worth being reminded of the everyday pluses when it seems all cloudy.

Do everything, except chatting up with other girls. You need time to get over the ex and that’s not always the best way.
