Many people feel on cloud nine after expressing their intention to marry each other and this often becomes a starting sign for the wedding preparations to begin, yet it doesn’t always lead to such a resolution.

People shared their stories of the latter experience online, answering one Redditor’s question: “People who were engaged at one point but never got married, what happened?”

On the bright side, this isn’t necessarily an unfortunate occurrence, as some people admitted that despite all the effort, finances, pressure, etc. involved in planning the wedding, breaking off their engagement was their best decision - whether due to incompatibility with their partner, or realization that it wasn’t what they wanted.

35 Engaged Couples Who Never Made It To The Altar For Wild And Sometimes Heartbreaking Reasons Married once, divorced, and engaged 3 other times. I ended the engagements specifically at the points where we sat down to discuss finances. Always split 50/50 as per his request, which I agreed to. The problem is that the men's jaws would hit the ground when I took out the list of household and child rearing chores to also split 50/50. They could not understand that if you want modern-day values of 50/50 on finances, it will not be combined with 1950's gender roles for the home ( with me carrying 100% of the home and child care on top of working full time.).

Good for her, but pretty sad she couldn't find a partner who would agree to something reasonable and equitable.

He then tried to tell me I couldn't go out with my friends. I went out and he had a temper tantrum that would put my 3 year old niece to shame. He trashed the house and drove to his parents house 2 states away.

    I got all the deposits back that I could. He texted me on what would have been our wedding day to remind me what a mistake I made. I sent him a picture of me and several of my friends that I was told I was not allowed to see having a very fancy sushi dinner with the deposit money.

    There might be various external factors that change a couple’s plans of getting married, as seen in the answers; however, breaking off the engagement often is a person’s choice. After a little research, the key aspects of the topic seem to come down to this not being easy, as one might be sure the relationship is over and still be scared of hurting their partner or disappointing family and friends, yet necessary and quite urgent in cases when a person is sure about the partnership not being right for them.

    35 Engaged Couples Who Never Made It To The Altar For Wild And Sometimes Heartbreaking Reasons We’re still technically engaged, but we never wanted a wedding. We met way late in life (I’m 50, she’s in her mid 40’s), no kids, and if we get legally married the gov’t f***s with her disability assistance so she is my spouse, my partner, and my soul mate. But we don’t feel the need to get married. But I do have a living will just in case.

    We will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary early next year.

    In his article for Psychology Today, Gary W. Lewandowski discussed a recent study that asked 30 participants a similar question about the reasons behind breaking off their engagement. Research participants were individuals who broke off their serious, long-term relationships and the dominant theme was that the impending wedding was a catalyst for thinking more deeply and intentionally about the relationship’s future.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    For some, it was thinking about certain behavior of their partner and asking themselves whether this was what they wanted “for the rest of their life”. Others similarly were prompted by the engagement to visualize the future together more vividly and they didn’t like what they saw.

    35 Engaged Couples Who Never Made It To The Altar For Wild And Sometimes Heartbreaking Reasons He wasn't participating in the wedding planning at all and I realised he didn't actually want to get married. There was a lot of pressure from his family and admittedly, me as well. I just wanted a family and to be married and hadn't really paid attention to his reluctance up until that point.

    It was 3 months before the wedding and I sat down and reviewed our relationship. We were incompatible in several crucial points, even though we loved each other a lot. So I called off the wedding and ended it and while we were both sad, we were also relieved.

    This was more than a decade ago and whenever we run into each other we catch up and there are no hard feelings at all. He's married and a father now and I couldn't be happier for him.

    35 Engaged Couples Who Never Made It To The Altar For Wild And Sometimes Heartbreaking Reasons It was toxic, and a month before we were supposed to get married I broke my foot at an event I was helping, she was there too but just partying. When I told her I probably broke my foot, she said I shouldn't be a little baby and just walk home since the party was over. I couldn't stand on it. She helped me a couple meters forward and then she just pushed me. That night my mother took me to the hospital, and that night I decided all the lies and mental abuse was enough, and ended it. Best decision of my life. 3 months ago and I'm finally getting back to being me.

    Some interviewees draw their attention to various incompatibilities with their partner that won’t go away after getting married and would be problematic going forward, such as abuse, communication issues, or different takes on having kids. Finally, many recognized the role of inertia and sought to find ways to slow the momentum toward marriage.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Bored Panda was curious about what prompted the author to ask people about their experience of getting engaged but never tying the knot. We got in touch with the r/mimi_nivi and she kindly agreed to answer our questions. The woman shared that it was “kind of weird reasoning”, as she was thinking about the man who used to be her boss and that she has been crushing on for a year.

    An ex and I broke up after our new born died. She said something similar, 'Every time I look at you, I see our baby girl's lifeless body, and I just can't get past that'. My presence just seemed to make her worse. A "few days" at her mum's turned into months, turned into a letter telling me she's never going to recover so I should carry on with my life without her. Over 20 years have passed, I occasionally bump into her and I can still see that same look in her eyes.

    The man is older and has never been married, but was engaged once. So this prompted the woman to think about why that was the case. She also explained that even though she doesn’t work for him anymore, she could otherwise ask him; however, they are not that close.

    We also wished to know whether the author has an answer to this question herself and she shared she hasn’t been engaged but she has known a couple of people who were.

    These included her former boss — whose story behind the engagement she doesn’t know — and her old friend. The latter is married now but was once engaged and left at the altar: “She couldn’t marry him and left.”

    Finally, we asked for the author’s take on whether there might be a bright side to breaking off the engagement, and this is what she had to say: “I think there is. I think going through the heartbreak of ending an engagement is a lot better than ending a marriage in divorce. Divorce is bitter no matter how amicable it is between spouses.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “You shouldn’t marry someone if you know deep down that it’s not going to work between you two. You shouldn’t marry someone for the wrong reasons. Too many people have done that and they’re either in loveless marriages or they end up divorced. That’s not right for any party involved.”

    Do you have such an experience of being engaged and not going through with the wedding? Please, share your thoughts in the comments.

    I had one of those. I didn't take the proposal seriously (and he was offended that I laughed because he was "willing to take me on, even with all of my faults, so I should have been flattered and said yes immediately") That was a little over 40 years ago. I think he may have wanted US citizenship. My faults? I talked too much (really!), wore too much make-up (hunh?), was too friendly with too many people (I was nice to bus drivers, waitresses etc, well pretty much everyone I was nice to.), thought men and women were equal etc..... I was a kind of repressed, nice, middle-class girl who was a liberal and hadn't even had sex yet! Sheesh!

    35 Engaged Couples Who Never Made It To The Altar For Wild And Sometimes Heartbreaking Reasons I had a friend who was engaged. One day, she had a fight with her fiancé and drove from his house mad. On her way home, she ended up in a bad car accident. She tried to call him several times. Wouldn’t pick up. Her family tried. Nothing. Her friends tried. Nothing. HIS friends tried. Nothing. His family tried. Nothing. Dude was quite serious about giving her the silent treatment.

    Needless to say, she didn’t think he handled that well and broke it off.

    Edit: I should add that after he found out what had happened, he just kind of went “oh ok” instead of apologizing or asking if she was alright. It wasn’t just that he went to bed or something at the wrong time.

    35 Engaged Couples Who Never Made It To The Altar For Wild And Sometimes Heartbreaking Reasons I got engaged after 4 years, mostly just to do something nice (or so I thought) for my mother who was dying of cancer. 8 years later, mother is long dead, still not married, and I finally see the light and decides to walk away from this abusive relationship.

    I say "so I thought" because it turns out that my mother knew there was something wrong about the b*tch, didn't like her, but didn't have the heart to tell me because she thought I was happy... And I never told her about the reality of the relationship either.

    She had been fighting depression and went to stay with her family a little bit before marriage. But she started having horrible fights with her family and had a mental breakdown 2 months before the wedding and said she wasn't able to handle being a wife or in a relationship and ran. To be single and disappear.

    From reddit: "she said she couldn't imagine a life without me, but I had become her crutch and she couldn't have the codependency anymore because she knew she would never get better." It's a tough situation for both. I hope she gets the help she needs.

    35 Engaged Couples Who Never Made It To The Altar For Wild And Sometimes Heartbreaking Reasons I procrastinated on both our lives, spending more time convincing myself I'll get there without actually getting there.

    After my dad died, my mom “got engaged” to another guy. She told me years later that she never intended to marry him, but she was a bit traditional and thought it would make her look better if she were engaged to a guy she was living with. No idea if the guy had the same idea, they broke up seven years later and I haven’t talked to him since
