3 Years Later It's Over :(
« on: March 03, 2011, 06:18:14 AM »
Yesterday my fiancée (UK) broke up with me (California). We had known each other for 3 years, been engaged for over a year and were four months away from me moving over there and getting married. I wasn't planning on applying for the fiancée visa until April so at least I'm not out like $1200 or anything. But it's terrible.

LDR was rough for us but we always managed with a visit every 3 months. Sometimes it was 6 months. I JUST saw her last month & we were totally fine. She got scared, worried that it wasn't going to be worth it in the end and she doesn't have faith in us anymore as a couple. She said she still loves me but just wasn't sure we were going to make it so we ended it.

Telling everyone has been hard. I've cried loads yesterday and today. My dreams of walking down the aisle, of making pancakes for us in the mornings, of maybe even having kids with her are all gone.

She broke up with me last year but ended up getting back together after about four days. I feel so pathetic for wanting her back now even though it took me so long to trust her again after the first time. I think this is just it. The final strike. I don't know if I could respect myself if I got back together with her. I don't think that we'll ever get back together or even be friends. It's just...horrible. My heart feels ripped in half.

Anyways, just want to thank this site for being so amazing and informative and helpful. Without it I wouldn't have been able to find anything about moving there.

It all feels like such a bad dream.

Thanks everyone for all the lovely support even if I didn't know many of you. I do have some friends who have been helping. Mostly I'm just up and down. Sometimes I feel okay with it and sometimes I'm just so angry and so depressed because this was our whole future that she just said no to.

Thank you all. I appreciate it

Hugs antigonesgift.  You deserve so much better.  Take time to grieve and then it's on to bigger and better things--be they adventures or love or both!  [smiley=hug.gif]

I'm beginning to see that. I'm still so in love with her but if she's going to do this twice then you're right, I deserve someone who was going to work just as hard as me in this relationship.

Thank you your comment made me smile  :)

You are so welcome.  I'm probably a bit older than you and with age comes experience.  My heart was broken in a million pieces when my now ex said he wanted a divorce.  I picked those pieces up (it took a while) and realized the time was perfect for an adventure now.  I let myself have that adventure (traveling) and during the adventure is when I met my now husband.  You may always have a place in your heart for her, but in time there will be others whose place in your heart will be much more important.

Yeah I'm a younging. I'm only 21 and she just turned 21 so I think that had a lot to do with this last minute change. Thank you for making me feel better. Your last line really struck me and you're so right. I was willing to go to the other side of the world for her. It doesn't seem like that went both ways.

Thank you xx
