I’m breaking off my engagement because he said he would make me breakfast but he didn’t.
And it was the last god damn straw after two years or so many empty words, broken promises and lack of follow through.
He made me fall for him mostly based on brownie points from saying the most romantic amazing thoughtful things and doing them less than 10% of the time.
This man is complacent and has no follow through. Not with me, not when he was at school, not at work, and I am so done.
Everytime I try to leave him he love bombs me because he does love me a lot. I know he does. His friends and family adore me and tell me how I’m the best thing that happened to him, but I got myself into a caregiver role slowly and surely.
I’m raising a man who’s 5 years older, finding him jobs, writing his cover letters, cooking his meals, being his therapist, organizing his plans with friends and family and all I get is empty words.
I love him but I don’t like him, it’s over and I’m leaving.

- I’ve heard it said that women marry men expecting them to change, and they don’t, while men marry women expecting them not to change, but they do.
- I married like this. You are making a very right choice.
- Good for you. How exciting to start a new chapter of your life that doesn’t weigh you down with the emotional turmoil from caring for a maliciously incompetent and emotionally neglectful partner.
- This was the exact reason I broke things off with my ex fiancee. The best way I could summarize it was I felt like a parent, not a partner. Hard to do but you deserve to be happy!
- When words and actions don’t align you have to do what’s best for you find your happy and live life to the fullest Best thing I ever did !!!!
