My fiance (M22) of 5 years canceled our wedding today and i am devastated. Need help or advice. I am (F22).

Ive been contemplating posting this because I'm already a broken sobbing mess and he also goes on reddit but here goes.

We've been together 5 years, had alot of downs than ups, and went to go couples therapy (it was free at the time) around the middle of year 4. Around that time he took a job to go army and well we couldn't really stand the thought of being apart for 6 years so we had to come to an agreement to get married.

During this he had doubts of marriage and i decided to discuss our expectations and wants and needs (basically pre marital counseling questions) and we pretty much agreed on everything and there wasn't really anything wrong. He finally came around to the idea of marrying me and was super happy about it.

We planned it together (its super small only a dozen people would come) and we got tons of help from my family and his dad. Everything was okay, even the day before the wedding, we saw each other and hung out. The next morning he wanted to talk and i knew that he wanted to cancel by his tone.

The day isn't over, my family is trying to cheer me up but they aren't the best at it, they are kinda forcing me to have fun and forget about him.

I just lost someone i really loved and who apparently loves me back but isn't ready. After basic i don't know if I'll ever see him again and our future plans for me to go college married to him while he does AIT is gone. Our plans to not be separated just fell apart.

His reasons were just him feeling afraid we won't work out because of the distance in the army but he also just felt like he doesn't know what he wants. He says he may come back after basic but it isnt definate and i dont know if I want to put trust in that.

This behavior isn't uncommon from him. He puts off important information or feelings until an inappropriate time. He also always have trouble figuring out what he wants from our relationship. I wasn't surprised this happened today, but i am devastated and hurt.

If there's more i need to elaborate on i can definitely do that...

I do would like advice, or even stories of you guys that this has happened too. What did you do after? Did you keep contact? Did you leave and not look back? Any advice on how to cope and try to move on?

I will be honest i still want that future with him but it seems like he doesn't, and I'm just afraid of the days to come.

TL;DR: My fiance canceled the wedding the day we were getting married but says he still love me. I may never see him again and need help or advice on coping and maybe moving on.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
