He’s Thinking Of Breaking Off The Engagement To His Fiancée Because She Gained A Lot Of Weight And “Stopped Trying” With Her Appearance
A 26-year-old man is engaged to his fiancée, who is one year older than him, and lately, he’s considering breaking off their engagement and breaking up with her.
Now, his fiancée has stuck by his side through some very tough times in his life, and he knows that she is the sweetest and most caring person he has ever met in his life.
She also did a lot to help him to be the best version of himself.
He first met his fiancée three years ago, and he honestly feels like he was pressured into proposing to her.
“We got engaged very early on in our relationship but I never even chose the ring or went ring shopping,” he explained.
“Rather, she had everything planned out and kept insisting on it until I went along with it. That said, I do really enjoy being with her, so at the time, I figured that engagement would be the right thing to do.”
As the date they set for their wedding draws closer, he’s been seriously having second thoughts.
He’s extremely anxious on a daily basis, and he cannot let go of the fact that he thinks it’s not good for him to get married to her.
He knows that ending the engagement will destroy her, which is why he has put it off, but he can’t ignore his feelings.

Things really started going south for him when the pandemic happened. At that point in time, his fiancée’s family welcomed him with open arms and treated him like he was just a part of their family.
“I feel like I owe them a lot, and we really connected (e.g. having family movie nights),” he said. “In a lot of ways, this feels like the perfect relationship… except her weight.”
“I know it sounds superficial and that’s why I’ve been hesitating so much but over the past three years, and especially over the pandemic, she gained a considerable amount of weight.”
“She stopped trying for her outward appearance as well and resorted to just wearing the same PJs every day.”
He’s fighting to remain attracted to her, and that’s not something he’s had to struggle with before.
Due to the weight his fiancée gained, she also appears to be older than him by a decade because it changed her appearance that much.
She no longer wants to be in any photos, so he believes that she is aware of the fact that she put on a lot of weight and is traumatized by it.
He says that his fiancée’s weight has constantly been a problem for them during their whole relationship, but it was never this out of control.
“I’ve tried working out with her or going on a diet with her, but she’s always been quite resistant to it,” he continued.
He’s really not sure what to do here at all.
