I want to break off my engagement what should I do?

Question

I am so sick of everything. He turned out to be a different person, and I am so sick of everything. I just want to end it. What is the best way?

Answer 1

just tell him I am out and C U Next Tuesday.....he will get the hint

Answer 2

tell him exactly what you just said. that he turned out to be a different person and you are sick of it and want to end it.
tell him the engagement is off and the two of you are over.
Dont think you are obligated to marry him just because you said you would when things were good. Thats why there is an engagment period. Its time to think and prepare or back out if thats what you end up doing.
End it hun. You are not happy and marrying him is a mistake if you feel this way now.
Call it off today. No better time than the present.

Answer 3

Speak from you heart, not with anger!

Before you make a decision that will ultimately affect the lives of not only yourself, slow down and recap. If this person truly is not who you thought he was, give him a chance to explain.

All relationships have differences, and the only way to understand each other is with open end communication. If you end the engagement, what more will you have left? Slow down for a second, and remember why you said "yes" to this guy.......Now go ask him why he isn't holding up to his end. If it doesn't work from there, speak from the heart and not with anger, then let him know how you feel.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Just say that you need to talk and then tell him that he`s not the man you thought he was and that you don`t think you should marry him unless you`re 100% sure. Its better to get it over and done with; the longer you wait, the more it will hurt. Just make sure that its not just "cold feet" and that you really do want to break off the engagement. You might just be nervous.

Answer 5

Exactly how is he different? He is bound to change a little bit. If he is doing something that you do not like, tell him to change back to where he was before you two got engaged. Don't just stop it, he probably has a lot on his mind. Tell him how he has changed. If that dont work, than tell him that it is off.

Answer 6

The best way is face to face. Writing a letter or e mail is the chickens way out. I recommend you go to a restaurant, somewhere quiet and do it in a public place. Just in case he gets violent, it's better to be where people are.

If you just can't do it that way. Write him a letter and give it to him in a public place. At least that way your not copping out.

Answer 7

god that is so sad.. oh well, at least you figured out who he really is now rather than years later.. you just gotta tell him, it's that simple.. call a face to face meeting with him and break it off. make a list of reasons and write them down. make a list of things he might try to say to change your mind, and have a comeback for them all. if you feel it would help to have moral support, ask one of your parents or a friend to be there with you for the meeting..

Answer 8

say something to the extent of... "You aren't the kind of guy I thought you were, so i think that we should call off the engagement." Try not to beat around the bush too much just kinda get to the point.

Answer 9

If its just you and him, you're lucky. It is a lot harder when a child is involved and you want to break off the engagement.

You are obligated to take care of yourself. Do not sacrafice your life because you are afraid of hurting your fiancee's feelings. It is a hard thing to do.

Answer 10

Just tell him. It won't be easy, but let him know your not ready for the commitment. Don't blame everything on him. Then give him the ring back.
