I have a friend who's engaged to her boyfriend. They had this big engagement party. But a month after the engagement, she realized she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life with this guy. She's seen the worst side of the guy and it seemed to her that she couldn't take this her whole life. Should she break her engagement? How would she do this? What about the humiliation it would bring?

Let her decide if she can take the humiliation and spend rest of her life in peace or fear the humiliation and spend her life with this kind of guy? Will she be happy after marriage? Knowingly doing a mistake has no excuse...later in life, she cannot find anyone to blame except for herself, in case her life got worser.

Calling off a marriage is as easy as getting enganged. Tell the person plainly that she cannot live with him giving him the appropriate reasons.What if he mends his ways? YOu never know!

If she fears humiliation, then she should remember that these people are not going to come to her rescue when life will throw lemons at her.She should discuss this with her parents, near and dear ones and take a decision.

She should try to talk to her fiance first. As what passate said, he could just change. If he does not, then maybe it's wise to break off the engagement now than go ahead with the marriage and be miserable later. People may talk about it now but they will also forget about it as time goes by.

Yeah. She must talk to her fiance too. Give him a chance to change. But if he doesn't then she should break their engagement. Never mind the talk of other people, they will forget about it as soon as the next gossip item comes along.

A guy friend of mine has been dating this girl who is now engaged to her for over 1 1/2 now, he is do to get married at the end of this month. About 6 or so months ago, he started telling me that he wasn't sure if he really wanted to be married.. He never brought it up and now everything is ready to go for his wedding and now he really wants to back out.. He said that his heart isn't in it anymore and that he really does not want to get married just because of pressure, to only get divorced.. What can he do, I told him to just break off the engagement if that is what he really felt in his heart..

If he really doesn't want to marry his girlfriend and he's sure about it, I think it's better to break it off now than having problems later in their marriage (leading to a break up).

The important thing is to be sure about your feelings and tell your partner about it sooner so each of you will be able to move on sooner...I think what matters most is that you do what will make you happy than conforming to what others expect from you...Let them talk all they want, it isn't them who's going to suffer if you marry the guy or girl you don't love anymore or can't live with...They will also stop after a while anyway...

if she is sure enough that the guy is not going to suit her then there is no meaning thinking about others

i have to agree...she should just think of her future and happiness before she thinks of what others will say..

Well, i agree with what has been said earlier. If your friend does not want to carry on with this relationship, better break up now. But she should talk to the guy first, and sort things out. If the guy wants a second chance, then she must think about it too! Very often, we are afraid of taking a decision - we always think about the reaction of other people, i.e. the society. The society is here to gossip! No need to bother about them, just do what you seem right!
