How would you feel if you are dumped just before the wedding day? And would you feel different if you were pregnant? Any idea how you would get over it?

I would be sad and angry all in one. I would hope I was told before the big day. If I were pregnant as well then oh my doubly sad and angry. Not sure how I would react unless I was actually affected, but one thing for sure life goes on and I would try to get on with my life. I think it would bug me for a very long time, but hope that I would get strong enough to take care of my child.

.. I think in the end most people are strong enough.. this happens already since ages everywhere in the world :-( It's amazing how many single mom's there are and how many there are who find a way to survive and make something good out of it.

Yes I am sure that this day and age women are getting stronger. Although I was not left at the alter, I did raise two children both financially and physically for which I was very successful on my own. It was tough but if we set our priorities straight with the intent to always put the children first it can be done.

Well, this is a big thing but I'd still consider it a blessing in disguise. At least the girl found it early that the man that she loves was a coward. A cold feet indeed. She should keep the baby and go on with her life. I know that it won't be that easy but it's much harder if she'll stick with that guy for the rest of her life. Thanks for that wonderful discussion WakeUpKitty! Happy mylotting!

A good advice eLsMarie. I don't know if that will help at such a moment if everybody let's you down but in the end it might save her a lot of (extra) misery.

Wow that would be rough and it would be heartbreaking, but then again it is probably better than marrying someone who really doesn't want to marry you and finding out later on. Being pregnant of course would make it all a lot harder, but you can bet I would still make the guy pay child support.

I don't know how to react on this matter. This is really a hard situation considering the pregnancy. I am a run-away bride and left my groom to be days before our supposedly wedding. I did put my family in a very funny and humiliating situation. But,that was already done and looking back with the past gives me so many things to learn. I did learned a lot and become a better person after that. With your topic,I really don't know how to react. One thing is for sure, that will give the concern person desperation and might lead into bigger trouble.

there was a moment you decided to leave/run away. Do you think it was a good decision at that moment?

That's seem to be a great nightmare in your life. The fact that is so shameful it is also very painful and very difficult to move on. If it happens to me then I'm pregnant, I 'll be brave enough to born the baby because that baby has nothing to do with the mistake of the father. Being positive in life and know how to forgive is a key for you to move on or cope up with that incident.

Personally this is stories you hear about all the time, and it makes you wonder. But in reality, even though it hurts it might be the Best thing for the Bride and the child as well, as it is better to bring a child up in a loving home than in a home where the couple stays together for the sake of the child. It is a shame this has to happen, but many times there are ways to get over this, and move on and often are better people because of it.

Hi, It is very disgusting. dumping before wedding day is very troublesome for the girl. But she has to face the situation courageously. Because she has has to spend her life happily. I know it is very difficult. But why to waste her life in crying. She should try to prove to that bad boy that she can live happily.

with due respect i dont want to hurt anyones feelings. Thats why Islam is true religion.If you study Islam, Islam stop to have Adultery relations before marriage.There is punishment for bad things.If you study Islam you will definitely find Islam as true religion.

If I were dumped before my wedding day I would be totally distraught initially. Then I would be very angry and then sorry for myself. After I had worked my way through these emotions I would be relieved that the person I had depended on let me down before we got married as he would certainly have done it afterwards.

That will be difficult situation. The only thing I can impart my piece is to be sure in committing to someone. This is really a painful thing to overcome when it happens.
