re: What was the reason you didn’t marry the person you thought you were going to?

First red flag was that she started using sex as a tool to try and get her way. Out of nowhere she told me that she wanted to stop having sex until we got married.
The next day she told me that if we weren't engaged or married in 6 months she was done with me. I cut it off then.
oh, the religious nut thing was becoming a problem as well. I was still a practicing Catholic at the time. Just wasn't Catholic enough, she'd constantly nag at me for not driving an hour to go to a latin mass or not go to confession weekly.

Dated a guy for most of my 20s. Broke up bc he said he didn’t want to marry me. He married his next girlfriend after 6 months. Broke my heart. Met my husband a year later and we’ve been married for 20 years today.

She wanted to move to New York to be and actress, and I wanted to live in the south and be a teacher and coach. Worked out for both of us.

I never proposed

I dated a girl for years, and the sex was great, but there were always abrupt mood swings out of nowhere. Totally unpredictable when she would start hating me for no reason. Then after a few days, her mood would be back to "normal." Over and over this occurred. She was always telling me it was all my fault.
Years later, I read about Borderline Personality Disorder. As a matter of fact, there have been threads on here about it. Every story in those threads sounds the same, and are identical to the situation I was in. I'm almost certain she had it or something very much in that family of disorders.
I finally had enough, and dumped her. A year later I met a wonderful woman that I've been married to for over two decades, and it has pretty much always been happy, calm, and peaceful.
I'm so glad I didn't stay in that other relationship. My life would have been a living hell.

We wanted different things at the end of the day.
In hindsight, everything happened for a reason as she grew into a thick ole girl.

If I cared anything about her, that’s what I’d do. But she’s not important enough for me to go out of my way to bother with her. Our original plan was we’d get married and she’d go to college and become a nurse while I supported us both. But what ended up happening is she ended up dropping out of nursing school and stayed at Captain Ds until she quit work to stay home with the Mexican kids she and her then husband adopted. By the way, I didn’t mention it earlier, but at least one or two of those kids were special needs kids. I’m not sure, but she may still be having to care for them. They’d be in their 30s now. Anyway, she never earned a degree or picked up any job skills other than fast food. She’s well into her 50s now, never had kids of her own, and lives in a single wide trailer in her parents’ land. When I say I dodged a bullet, I mean I dodged a thermo nuclear warhead.

4 year age difference in early twenties. She was in grad school, I was starting my career. We were going separate ways in life. I wanted kids, she didn't. A number of things, really. Would have been a disaster.

I remember when we would do quarterly sessions at school where they taught us how to apply for college, who might be a good candidate for college, told us about the trades, etc... I would always get a chuckle out of the painfully shy kids who weren't even enrolled in drama class that would randomly go with acting or modeling as their path.
Always felt the teachers in charge were doing those poor kids such a disservice by not bringing them back down to reality and guiding them down a responsible path.

Because she broke it off due to her inability to trust me. Never cheated on her but she thought differently due to the fact that I am flirtatious and other women paid attention to me. It devastated me at the time because I thought she hung the moon. After the dust settled I realized she had issues that pre-dated our relationship and we were doomed to eventually fail regardless. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Reading all of these stories about heartache and breakups from people about the person they thought they were going to marry, but didn't. Wish I had a story like that about my 1st wife.
Posted on 4/10/24 at 10:31 am to LAblues
Dated a girl for 3 years in my early 20s, she was great. Katrina happened and we were separated for a minute, and she fell in love with a guy she had been friends with a long time, or at least that's the line I was given
I'm glad it happened. Met my wife not that long afterwards, and to my knowledge she and that guy have been married to this day.
Things work themselves out.

This happens once a month to my wife. It’s a mystery.

She wanted me to be something that I wasn’t. She didn’t like the way I dressed, or what music I listened to.
Moving to Louisiana was the icing on the cake. She didn’t like Morgan City/Houma. We tried to make it work but it didn’t. I met my wife a couple of weeks after we broke off our engagement.

She did a few pilot episodes for shows that didn't get picked up and some stage plays. Ended up being a news reporter and then married a rich guy and raised kids.
