He Had A Heart To Heart Conversation With This Dad, And Now He’s Convinced He Needs To Call Off His Wedding That’s Happening In April
This 28-year-old man is supposed to be getting married this April to his 24-year-old fiancée, and they have been with one another for a decade.
Additionally, they are also expecting their first child together. He really believes that his fiancée is a wonderful woman, and he does feel “lucky” that she is a part of his life.
As in any relationship, they have struggled at times and excelled at others. Throughout the bad parts of their time spent together, they always found a way to persevere.
“We’ve had our ups and downs but have always worked through them, but I genuinely feel like our romance has run its course,” he explained.
“She’s pregnant, and we are supposed to get married next month. It’s not that we are in a toxic relationship because we’re not, but we are in an unhappy relationship, and we have been for a long time. We are both really excited about this baby, but I don’t think that we’re excited for us.”
“When we talk about it, it doesn’t feel genuine from both of our ends, but it’s probably because we’re scared of the outcome. I’m pretty sure she tried to end it while we were cake testing, but she didn’t. That day has been on my mind ever since.”
What he means is that while they were out tasting what cake they should pick for their wedding, they ended up in a fight regarding the cake.
Except, their fight really was deeper than the cake for their wedding; the fight became a fight about being together.
At one point during their argument, his fiancée flat out asked him why they were “doing this,” and he tried to clarify if she meant tasting cake.

His fiancée simply sighed back and said that was not what she meant. As soon as she said that, one of the employees at the cake shop approached them, and they had to stop arguing in public.
On their drive home, he and his fiancée didn’t speak at all, and he then wound up dropping her off with one of her friends.
Then, over the weekend, he and his dad grabbed drinks together. Now, his dad got married to his mom after they found out his mom was pregnant with him.
His parents split up when he was 9-years-old, and in hindsight, his childhood was spent with his mom and dad arguing nonstop.
After the divorce, his mom and dad turned into far “better parents” to him, and they weren’t capable of that when they were married.
His dad is now remarried, and his dad and stepmom are totally different than how his dad was with his mom.
He also has stepsiblings who are currently the age he was when his parents were arguing all the time.
His dad and his stepmom are truly in love with one another, and they act like the best of friends, not the worst of enemies.
“He told me not to make the same mistake that he did,” he said. “If we’re not happy and just getting married because of the baby, do not do it.”
“Focus on being friends and great parents rather than at each other’s throats and stressed parents. I’ve been thinking about this for the past few days, and he’s right.”
He knows that he needs to call the wedding off before it happens in a month, as it’s not right for him to just go through the motions.
He’s simply stuck on how and when, and where he should split up with his fiancée. She’s currently on a trip with her friends, and he doesn’t want to break up with her and cancel their wedding while she’s not even home.
“Our life as we know it is going to change drastically, and I’m having trouble bringing this conversation up because the outcome will cause great change,” he continued.
“Advice on how to handle the outcome will also be greatly appreciated.”
