He Ended His Engagement After His Fiancée Asked Him For An Open Marriage
Ten months ago, this 27-year-old man proposed to his fiancée, who is the same age as him. They have been together for five years in total, and they have so many commonalities.
He loves his fiancée, and after he proposed to her, their families were elated about their upcoming marriage.
All of their loved ones have been overjoyed with helping plan out the wedding, and even though he’s not that into the whole process, he has been excited about everything too.
A few nights ago, he was eating dinner with his fiancée, and he questioned her about if her uncle had said yes to being their officiant.
“She just looked at me with this weird look on her face, and then she asked what did I think about [an] open marriage,” he explained.
“I was surprised! Call me old school on this mindset, but I believe when you’re going to marry a person, you are committing to that person for life and that there [is] nobody else in that marriage but you and that person.”
“I told her exactly this, and she said we were still young, and she loves me and wants to marry me and eventually have children, but she hasn’t had much experience before our relationship.”
He followed up by asking his fiancée why that was wrong, but she talked over him and kept asking if he would be down for an open marriage.
He told his fiancée he was not alright with that, especially since he just took the time to tell her about his feelings.

He then got up and left the table, as his fiancée said he has never given an open marriage a chance, so he might change how he feels about it.
“I just looked at her, and everything I felt for her just died in that very moment,” he said. “I told her if that’s what she wants, then she’s more than welcome to go do that with someone else, because me and her were over.”
“She tried to backtrack and say it was just a suggestion, and she didn’t actually mean it! But I didn’t want to hear it.”
He walked into their guest bedroom and locked the door while his fiancée tried to get in. She was sobbing and apologizing and claiming she did not mean what she said. He cried and refused to open the door for her, so she went away after a while, and he went to bed. The following morning he went to work and informed his friend about what had gone down.
His friend said he could stay at his place, so after work, he moved all of his stuff out. His fiancée was still at work when he moved, and when she came home to find his stuff missing, she started blowing up his phone.
He did pick up one of her calls, and she cried while asking him what was going on. He simply stated that he was being serious when he told her that he was ending their engagement.
“Her responses went from pleading then to anger when I didn’t react,” he continued. “I just hung up on her and blocked her number.”
“It’s been a week and she hasn’t given up trying to contact me and change my mind and even got our families involved.”
“They’re saying she hasn’t cheated on me, and it [is] normal for couples to explore different options in their relationship, and I took it the wrong way. I told them to leave me alone, but they keep coming at me.”
