Several women canceled weddings for concrete reasons related to partner behavior and hidden facts. One woman called off a rushed marriage after becoming pregnant when her mother offered support and a co-parenting arrangement, creating immediate relief and avoiding a problematic relationship. Another woman ended an engagement when her partner admitted he was financially supporting a child he had previously concealed, making dishonesty the decisive issue. Family support, revelations about children, and partner unwillingness to work or contribute to the household prompted cancellations and ultimately led to better long-term outcomes for some.
I stayed at my parents' house the night before, and my mom came in to check on me the next morning. I guess I seemed off because she lay down beside me, held my hand, and said, 'You know you don't have to marry him just because you're pregnant. Come back home, we'll help you with whatever we can.'
'If he had been open about that when we got engaged, I could have lived with it, but lying about such an important issue was the problem. I called off the wedding. I have been happily married for more than 50 years now.'
