Sometimes, an engagement will go awry. The couple will think better of the implications of a marriage, for example, they might: consider the heavy legal fees involved in a lengthy divorce, get cold feet, brutally murder a fiancée, whatever their fickle hearts desire. This is hardly something to hold against anyone, in fact the decision to get married is quite possibly taken too lightly in our modern society. Somebody needs a green card, a tax break, or just a steady lay (or from what I hear about married folk, someone from whom they can withhold sex as a bargaining chip). That isn't to say people shouldn't get married, it's just a very tough decision. So occasionally, some party will break off an engagement. It happens. Usually for the best. Think of what you will save in the future and don't worry about your deposit with the caterer, or the stupid invitations or save the dates that you sent out (which no one is impressed with, by the way). Make the right decision for your future. Be selfish. Nobody will begrudge you that...
...until the second time.
Is breaking an engagement...TWICE, grounds for a RED FLAG? Do the circumstances even matter? Would it make a difference if the person was DUMPED twice, or if they did the dumping? Do all these excuses and arguments fly out the window when the same person can't pull the trigger in the sequel? Are you willing to play the starring role in this trilogy of marital disasters? Or are you the understanding type who can forgive/hope to change a fickle heart? How would you react if you found out your partner pawned two engagement rings? Are you the type of rube to be fleeced into believing you'll be the one to make it to happily-ever-after? Or can you throw this relationship assassin to the curb...RSVP with your comments and your entrée choices...Red Flag +1
