Cancelling wedding

So five and a half months before our wedding my fiancé has now decided he doesn't love me the way he did before and no longer wants to be with me.

So five and a half months before our wedding my fiancé has now decided he doesn't love me the way he did before and no longer wants to be with me. We live together, have everything combined and I'm seven and a half weeks pregnant after two years of trying.

I could just use some positive thoughts to get through this. I've been crying for like two days because well, I'm mad and sad and because my hormones are going crazy.

Now to the joys of cancelling the wedding. Any advice? Everything is in my name so it's my job.

    I can't really add to the convo as so many others have given wonderful words of advice. But I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I seriously hate when people say everything happens for a reason, but I truly believe it does. Hang in there.

    I am so sorry. It is a lot at one time. My best advice is take it one day at a time. IF that gets overwhelming, take it one hour at a time. And be gentle with yourself. You are allowed to feel how you want when you want.

    Thank you everyone, again. I'm trying to take everything in as best as I can without stressing myself and my baby. I actually haven't told anyone else besides you all and my best friend because I want to have time for it to soak in and for me to heal. I've been working twelve hour shifts since it happened so I haven't had time to be alone and think but tonight he is out of town with work so I'm going to be alone and I'm going to take the chance to come to terms with everything.

    I have no real advice, but wanted to say I am so sorry you are going through this, especially with a little one on the way. I know it's hard to think like this now, but I always try to remind myself that everything happens for a reason. Just try to focus on your physical and mental well-being right now. Sending good vibes your way!

    You don't need a counsellor, you need a good attorney. You must protect your unborn child. This scum ball owes major child support. Find a good support system. Kick this guy to the curb and carry on. You are a strong lady. Let somebody else cancel the venues, cake etc. You do not need this stress. I am not an attorney but I believe that you may be able to go after him for part of the wedding costs.

    Omg. First step kick his butt out if he hasn't left yet. The PPs already told you everything else. It amazes me how someone can be so heartless. I am so sorry

    I am so sorry. When i was married the first time my husband did this to me when i got pregnant. He said he woke up and realized he didnt love me and want to be with me. I cried for months. Then 4 months later when he was visiting me at my parents house he said he only did all that cause he was scared of being a dad and a husband. (Our divorce later on had nothing to do with that) Hopefully yours comes to realize what he is missing too. And we are here if you want to talk.

    Wow, my heart breaks for you... I pray that you have a strong support team. From a legal aspect I'd start getting my affairs in order when it comes to you and your unborn child. It's okay to feel the way you do pregnant or not so don't be afraid to cry. Prayers love

    I'm sorry you are going through this. I agree with PP that say to consult an attorney and get a co-parenting plan in place ASAP. While you may be on good terms now, and even when the baby is born, I STRONGLY suggest that co-parenting plan. I'm sure there is some variation between states, but typically, if there is nothing written and enforced, then there is nothing to say the other parent has to give the child back at any time. They could up and disappear with the child and it would not be considered kidnapping or anything of the sort. There would be nothing to make them let you see the child until there is something in place by the courts. Unfortunately, many people don't think about this until it is too late. It sounds like you are both committed to trying to be civil and work things out as best you can. I'm sure there will be ups and downs but some co-parenting classes down the line may be helpful to separate any hard feelings regarding the relationship that may be present (I certainly think I would have some) from the co-parenting relationship and what is best for the baby.

    I don't have any words of wisdom for you, it doesn't seem like you need it either honestly. It sounds like you are being way more mature and understanding about this then most would be. Just wanted to say take care of yourself and focus on your beautiful baby coming soon when you are having a hard time.

    I'm so sorry you're going through this, OP! This is a very crappy situation. I'm glad to see you're handling as well as you can be and have a positive outlook. Since it sounds like you'll be keeping the baby, congratulations on your pregnancy! Sending good thoughts for health and happiness your way Smiley smile
