Can a relationship survive after you have called off your wedding?

Question

We've called off the wedding but don't want the relationship to end. However, it just feels so strange. Has anyone got past this?

Answer 1

i guess it all depends on the reason why you called off the wedding

Answer 2

Depends on how you both feel. remember that things are never black and white in relationships and sometimes sacrifices and compromises have to be made to make things work. just sit down with your fiance and try to work out why you started arguing so much.

i think it was a good decision to postpone the wedding, there nothing worse than making huge steps without being 100% sure you want to go for it.

good luck.

Answer 3

It will feel stange for now but I am sure it will get better. Keep trying to work it out and find out what side its strange from. If its you try and look to see why and ask you're guy is he feels the same way. Mabey after having the engagement and everything you're not ment to be. It also might take some time to get back to normal.

Answer 4

Its a tough situation.  Ithink its worth trying since you both want to be together.  And its a new situation.  See how things go over some time and if you adjust or cant live with it!

Take time to decide and be honest with eachother!

Answer 5

Only if its True Love.

Answer 6

why call it off, you must NOT want to get married anyway!!

If you are so confused, you have no idea what you want!

Answer 7

As long as you weren't caught in the broom cupboard on the day yes why not?

Answer 8

Sure. It happens all the time. I have not personally experienced it, but I have known a couple of couples who have gone through this. They just weren't as ready as they thought they were. They canceled. It sucked cleaning up for a month or so. Then they just worked together to figure out what went wrong. In one case, a year later they were walking down the aisle together. In the other case, they never married, but they have been together for five years since. What you have to do is sit down, talk, and figure out what the problem is, then try to come up with a solution. If you need help, I highly recommend trying a couples' counselor. The couple that got married? They did the couples' counselor thing. The one that did not get married? They didn't. Hmm...

Good luck!

Answer 9

It might be hard, but I'd say forget about him and move on.  

To call off a wedding means it was a huge deal...big enough to ruin the most important day of your life.

Move on.

Answer 10

I'm not sure. My sister and her boyfriend/fiance/whatever called off their wedding twice and they are still together. Personally I think she would be better off without him (he's a cheater)

However, your situation is a lot different. Fights will happen when making such a big adjustment. Give it some time before you make any decisions.

Answer 11

I dont want this to come off snotty but there's really never a right time to get married. Is his job ever going to be different?

Answer 12

Sounds like you are finding out. Don't make a decision yet. You were smart to call it off for now. If you two can work past the distance then you can think about the future and possibly marriage. Don't rush a decision either way yet. Work on the now before considering a future.

Answer 13

when i got pregnant we were supposed to hurry up and get married so that we would be married when the baby was born...i thought it would be too stressful on the baby so i called it off...we stayed together but then i got more pregnant and he cheated on me...after the baby was born we split and got back together numerous times..and stupidly i married him still..our 2 year anniversary is next month..so its possible to continue a relationship..just depends on the people i guess
