Christmas 2012 my youngest proposed to his girlfriend. She said yes....but then broke up with him in April of 2013.  He was heart broke and so were we. Over the 4th, oldest proposed to his girlfriend, she said yes, but today gave him the ring back. Said it just wasn't going to work. He, of course, is heart broken too. Gahhhhhh! What in the hell?? So either both of my children have a curse on them or they both chose very fickle girls! I somehow survived the youngest and his moodiness and depression after the break up, now I have to try and survive the oldest. I have a feeling this will be bad. Why cant they just be 4 years old again? |

I'm so sorry. That's awful. I hope your boys find a beautiful, loving girl one day who appreciates them for who they are. That being said, at least you didn't waste a lot of time/expense planning a wedding that wasn't meant to be.

When they hurt, we hurt. Just keep telling yourself this is saving them from a mistake and the right girl is out there waiting to be found. {{{hugs}}}

I'm sorry that they are hurting, but thank goodness the girls didn't change their minds after the marriage!
Hopefully they will someday find women who deserve them.

That is awful for your boys! I agree with the previous posters who said it is better that it happened "before" any weddings although I'm sure your boys don't want to hear that right now! Hugs to all of you

Why cant they just be 4 years old again? Awww! That would be so hard to watch in your boys. BUT, it really is much better to break off an engagement than go through a divorce. |

Maybe your kids are just lucky, and these are women they would have been unhappy with in the long run.

I totally understand how you feel.
My oldest son was dating a girl that he was head over heels in love with We loved her and her family adored my son. It seemed to be heading towards engagement, then all of a sudden she just put the brakes on and started backing out of the relationship. It has been 6 months and he is still pretty down about it. It seems that she cheated on him. This is the 3rd girl that has cheated on him.
Youngest son was dating a girl during his senior year in high school. She cheated on him and got pregnant with the other guys' baby. She actually offered to abort the baby if my ds would take her back. He was horrified and told her "You obviously do not know me very well if you think I would want a baby aborted." It has been 4 years and he hasn't dated since because of trust issues.
What is up with girls now days?

Could be cursed....could be saved....either way works. How old are your boys? Assuming there isn't something strange about either of them, maybe it's just a growing up type of experience (not that I would ever say that directly to your children, just chatting to you about it). It sucks, it's crappy, it's something you can help them through. Just remember, the first time either of them starts with that 'all women are [insert whatever]' to nip that one right there - pretty much when women start with 'all men are [insert whatever]'  |

It is so hard to see your kids hurting. I know it's cliche but your boys are better off without them. They will find their true loves.

Awe man that does suck!!! I'm so sorry. Maybe think of it like this: at least money wasn't invested in the wedding yet and also they didn't actually go through with it just to end in divorce. That would be a lot harder I feel.

He was heart broke and so were we.
