'One of my parents got terminally ill. ... Other parent calls from the hospital saying 'this is it. Only hours left to say goodbye. Get here now.'

People Who Broke Off Their Engagements Are Sharing What Happened, And The Answers Range From Shocking To Super Heartbreaking
I still occasionally hear from my ex. I just send him photos of how awesome my life is without him. Can’t wait for the next time he reaches out and I can send him my wedding photo. My ex is still single. I’m a tad bit petty." "I found out he was still married. I knew he was previously married, but he said they divorced years before we met. It came to a head when we were making plans to get the marriage license. I met his family numerous times and even had his mother’s china."
His poor nieces and nephews must have been so confused. They were only young. Probably thinking to themselves, who's this lady and where is Aunty?! Were they told not to say anything to me? Or did his family think A & K had split up? It's one of those mysteries I like to play out scenarios in my head but can't really be bothered trying to find out the truth.
She told me after it all came out, he tried to weasel his way back to her but with no success. Then, he was apparently super depressed because he 'loved me so much.' Then he started clubbing and was lovin' single life, that went on for a few years until COVID hit, and he suddenly realized he was all alone, had nobody in his life, and had a really tough trot during all the lockdowns.
When I confronted him about it, he didn’t even try to defend himself or lie. We broke it off that night." "It was toxic, and a month before we were supposed to get married, I broke my foot at an event I was helping; she was there, too, but just partying. When I told her I probably broke my foot, she said I shouldn't be a little baby and just walk home since the party was over. I couldn't stand on it. She helped me a couple meters forward, and then she just pushed me.
"We had been together six years, no major red flags, but a few months after our engagement, he decided to put his hands on me and shake me when I suggested he leave the dinner dishes to me to visit his father in the living room. He is 6'5". I am 5'0" — it was incredibly scary and over nothing. Was the straw that broke the camel's back because he'd been angry for a while and was completely incapable of communicating.
"He refused to get a job after five years together, and I realized I would be paying for everything on my measly teacher salary. Was able to buy my own condo a month after breaking it off." "Married once, divorced, and engaged three other times. I ended the engagements specifically at the points where we sat down to discuss finances. Always split 50/50 as per his request, which I agreed to. The problem is that the men's jaws would hit the ground when I took out the list of household and child-rearing chores to also split 50/50. They could not understand that if you want modern-day values of 50/50 on finances, it will not be combined with 1950s gender roles for the home .
Other parent calls from the hospital saying 'this is it. Only hours left to say goodbye. Get here now.' I get dressed to go get in the car, but my ex says, 'I have to take a shower and get ready. It’ll be, like, 45 minutes to an hour. Also, I’ll take my own car so I can go to work afterward.' It still took me another six months to end it. The final straw was a few male coworkers who were kind to me in a lot of different small ways. Never got a crush vibe or anything sexual. They were just kind, considerate, and supportive of me in ways my fiancé was not. After a long work trip with my male colleague where I was treated with respect and kindness, I came home and was yelled at because I was allergic to the food at the restaurant my fiancé wanted to eat at.
