His Fiancée Dumped Him After He Was Diagnosed With A Serious Illness, But Now She’s Showing Remorse And Wants To Get Back Together With Him
This 25-year-old man has spent close to 7 years with his 24-year-old fiancée after originally meeting her in college.
After graduating, they both started their careers, and they also moved in with one another. He truly thought they were creating an incredible life together, and he has to say that his relationship with her has been basically flawless.
He loves his fiancée and has never had a significant problem with her up until now.
“It’s honestly been a fairytale, and we got engaged last year in June,” he explained. “A couple of months before the engagement, I was screened for a genetic illness that my mother has.”
“It is a pretty devastating disease that means that the sufferer loses their motor control later in life and often in a wheelchair by around 40/50. They will also likely need late-life care. Unfortunately, my screening showed that I had the disease.”
“I know this would have a massive impact on my girlfriend, and I tried to give her an opportunity to consider whether this news changed how she felt about me and whether she would want to consider pursuing a life together despite the challenges that lay before us.”
She really supported him as he came to terms with this news, and she also reassured him that she was in love with him and would not leave him.
He then decided to propose to her, and although he expressed an interest in picking a date for their wedding, his fiancée kept putting it off.
Eventually, he was able to get his fiancée to admit to him why she was stalling on the wedding planning, and she admitted that she never informed her parents of his diagnosis.

His fiancée was worried that her parents would convince her to dump him over the diagnosis. He reminded his fiancée that she insisted she wanted to be with him regardless, so he pushed her to tell her parents about what was going on.
Well, that went really poorly, and his fiancée’s parents flipped out, giving her an ultimatum: she could pick him, or she could pick them.
Throughout the entire relationship he has had with his fiancée, her parents have been good with their relationship.
He even thoughtfully asked his fiancée’s dad if he could have her hand in marriage prior to proposing, and her dad did say yes.
“However, once they found out about my diagnosis, they went nuclear and told my fiancée that health is the number one key to happiness in life,” he said.
“I gave my fiancée about a month to decide whether she’d want to stay with me or leave me. During the last week of this period, I spent time at my parents’ to give her some space to make her own decision. I was keen for this decision to be hers alone.”
“Unfortunately, her parents did not agree, and her father visited her 3 or 4 times over this period. Her mother also sent incredibly guilty messages, suggesting people would think of her as a “loser” for staying with me and that she would never forgive her if her father broke down (who’s dealing with the onset of illness of his own mother).”
When the month came to a close, he pushed his fiancée to give him an answer, and she said that she was dumping him.
He was heartbroken to learn of her decision, as he really believed the years they spent together were nothing but wonderful.
2 days after she dumped him, they spent some time together, and his fiancée said that she had changed her mind; she really wanted to work things out.
His fiancée says she’s remorseful, but her parents are still complicating things by messaging her to try to make her stick to her word.
His fiancée adores her family, and she’s starting to feel conflicted regarding if she really should stay with him or not.
He’s terrified that she will leave him yet again, and everything is currently pretty up in the air.
“I’ve tried to be fair and honorable to the woman that I love, and I understand this is an incredibly difficult decision to make, made incredibly more challenging by her family,” he continued.
“I know she doesn’t want to turn her back on them, but she has told me that if her parents were supportive she would have chosen to stay with me.”
“I know they will get desperate if she tells them she wants to be with me, and this may get her to choose the easier option (which would be to leave me rather than her family). How can we/she approach this situation with her parents?”
