Admin	Broken engagement, broken heart Posted : 2 Feb, 2017 01:07 PM Ok, so here's my story... I met a wonderful man on another dating sites about 3 years ago, He lived 2 1/2 hour drive from me, but we managed to see each other and spend time together several times a month. He was so tender and gentle, helped me heal from my broken marriage/divorce. I helped him heal from his. We were engaged for 2 years, letting our kids get used to the idea, waiting on God for the right time, trying to figure out where we were going to live... Last fall I had several serious things happen in my family with my daughter and my mom causing me to stay in Minnesota for over 3 months. While I was up there my fiance would call and pray with me every day, we both said we felt closer to the other then ever before, he was such a great support during this hard season. But toward the end of the 3 months I suddenly out the blue got a TEXT message from him that said he was breaking our engagement because his Edward Jones rep told him he couldn't afford a wife!!!! So this Godly man, who I adored suddenly turned cold and chose money over love! I grieved this and got counseling from several good friends. Not sure if I can give my heart to someone again, but at the same time I don't want to be alone, I know God has put the desire in my heart to be a wife! I have so much love to give someone! Frustrated and hurting in Illinois! Post Reply

View Profile History	Broken engagement, broken heart Posted : 3 Feb, 2017 09:19 AM it's not long when you have ministries and kids and family to all figure out... and it is more complicated then just his stupid excuse... I honestly believe this has a much more spiritual root to his poor treatment of me, not even manning up and calling me to discuss this like real people. We have since (and are still talking), but he has blinders on right now, he has opened the door to something dark and is not being honest with me. I know he struggles with fear too, which I am sure plays a big role in this. Thank you for your response! Linda Post Reply

No need to spend time on weak men, there must have been signs long ago showing his weakness. Weak men and not adequate men who are not in the balance are so many around each woman, our task is to find out who is the strongest to win our hearts. Post Reply

Obviously one or both of you were not sure hence waiting on God for the right time, it sounds good like a lot of Christian speak but is a covering. If you want to get married you do it you set a date and marry be thankful that he broke it off it's better to be alone than to be in an unhappy marriage. Post Reply
