Calling off wedding?

Has anyone called off an engagement/wedding, but stayed in the relationship? Does this sound silly, or does calling off a wedding just ruin the whole relationship?

I've come to the realization that I do not feel comfortable getting married in our current situation, but I don't want to leave him and maybe our issues can be resolved down the road. Has anyone been in this situation?

    So then u postpone the wedding. Usually people who call off their weddings don't stay together. And honestly though, if you don't like the current situation your are in, then should you even be marrying this person?

    I can't say that I've ever experienced this. But whatever your decision ends up being, I wish you the best of luck

    My father and my stepmother initially did this, since my brother, who was going through a troubled teenage stage, was having some trouble with their relationship (my stepmother was a family friend who became my father's partner after my parents divorced, but my brother was confused and began blaming her for the split.) They decided they didn't want to get married under a cloud, so the three of them went to family counseling together and when they did get married my brother was happy to give them his blessing.

    There are all kinds of reasons to postpone a wedding. As long as you take real action to resolve the problem, then it's the right thing to do.

    I postponed our Wedding because I was having doubts about everything (being this would be my 1st marriage). I was making up excuses about everything why I wasn't ready but I was actually scared of getting hurt yet again. We thought about counseling but it wasn't that serious. So instead we sat down and laid everything out there no secrets no more excuses. Once we had determine everything we put the wedding off for another year. We also prayed about our relationship. Now we're getting marry in 4months and happier than ever. So I say don't call it off just postponed it. Get counseling if needed or just sit down together and talk everything out to see which way you guys want to go.

    I think it's great you don't jump into marriage if you're not sure about it. I'm sure it won't be easy but you must follow your heart & gut. Good luck.

    It doesn't sound like postponing to me cause you're not sure if u will end up together. It all depends on YOUR relationship and none of us can decide that for u. Do what your gut tells u!
