    I'm sorry, I know it was a tough thing to do but it is better in the long run than to be in an unhappy marriage.

    Now, on to new beginnings!

    You hit the nail on the head. Better to be alone and happy than with someone and unhappy. The trick is to know HOW to make yourself happy without the help of others.

    You're doing the right thing. hang in there.

    Congratulations on being strong enough to make the right decision for yourself. Sorry to hear it didn't work out, though.

    Congratulations on making that hard decision. I know it wasn't a easy one but you will thank yourself for it later if you haven't already done so.

    To new beginnings :)

    He wanted to get married right away but I didn't. I didn't feel right about it from the beginning and in the past 3 years it just confirmed my thoughts.

    Sometimes you gotta pee or get off the pot... or get the other party to make their choice. Either way, sorry to hear, but brave that you are moving on. All the best!

    That really sucks. I'm sorry things turned out this way but you did what was best for you. I hope things remain peaceful between you guys for your kid.... and if they don't I hope you have the strength to work through it.... my parents were divorced since I was little and always fighting .... made me feel like ****.

    I would much rather be alone and happy than with someone and unhappy.

    Having been through a bad marriage and divorce as well (and single for 15 years since then), I would even venture to say that it's better to be alone and unhappy than with someone and unhappy. That is, I can change my own unhappiness. I couldn't change him.

    Take good care of yourself.

    Congrats on being brave.
    I should have done that with my first engagement, would have saved me getting divorced 3 years later.

    I've always said, if someone asks you to marry them and you don't feel comfortable getting married at that very moment, then it's not right for you.It's a shame you waited 3 years to confirm what you already knew, but good for you for making the decision to not go through with the marriage.
