Have you been engaged before

I stupidly got engaged at 19 because I thought it was cool. It made me feel grown up and as though I was working toward something. My mum nearly died, and so did I 4 months after when I realised I had made a huge mistake.

Anyone else?

Yep, I was engaged to my previous partner.
We met at uni when 18 and made the commitment pretty quick. We did well- about 6 years but it was more a permanent engagement thing, we both knew in our hearts it was going nowhere but at the time made us try harder to stick at it- well, that was the theory anyway.... turns out id been an angel through some tricky moments but he'd been playing about here and there- nothing major but to me a stray kiss is unfaithful (after all if you want to do stuff else where get out of the relationship!)
Anyway,long story short we finished when i found condoms in his bag that werent ours. He'd fallen out of love with me but needed the realisation of falling in love with someone else before we worked it all out. Painful yes but so would be being married then watching it collapse.
Good news is they're still together and happy, we're still friends much to everyones disbelief and IM HAPPILY MARRIED TO THE RIGHT MAN!!!!!

i was engaged before and he told me he wanted a baby and marriage and everything, i was studying as a nurse and he told me to give up to raise money for our house which i was happy to do. I got a job in a care home and we moved in together. He spent the next 7 months sleeping with other women while i worked night shift. i came home one night full of flue and found him with someone. i got shot of him that same night and have never looked back. Last i heard of him he was a gambler and lived with a fella that was a piss artist. I met glen 6 months after and found it hard to accept that someone could love me so much. He is my soulmate Very Happy
