okay, i warned you. triple bonus hax chat: he "did the right thing" when she got pregnant. but when she miscarried, he broke off the engagement

Oldest trick in the book?

She got pregnant, we got engaged. I was resigned, if not thrilled. She subsequently miscarried and I saw no choice but to end our engagement. The day I did so was literally the last time she and I spoke, and it's been over a month now. I guess I'm just seeking validation that what I did wasn't inherently wrong or evil.

People should only get married because they want to and not because it's the right thing to do. -- nm - lileve Apr 1, 12:25 2

No - you took a wrong and made it right - she didn't want to be married to you either - Epiphany Apr 1, 12:24 8
- unless she did it on purpose. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 12:25 7
  - Yikes, I never thought of that. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 1, 12:26 6
    - Maybe it was a fake pregnancy all along!!!! -- nm - Dr.Vermin, bum bum BAAAAAA! Apr 1, 12:27 5
      - That does remind me of a question that came up while watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf last weekend. - znufrii Apr 1, 12:29 1
        
        based on internet observations, it's absolutely real. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 12:37
      - then you don't fake miscarry until after the wedding. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 12:28 2

He certainly shouldn't have gone through with the marriage. - Ender Apr 1, 12:22
As long as there was a respectful time period between miscarriage and the end of engagement... [cue Newt Gingrich jokes] - Dr.Vermin Apr 1, 12:19
It isn't evil. It's sad that it happened, but marrying her if he didn't love her wouldn't do her any great favors either. (nm) - musubi Apr 1, 12:19 1
- agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 1, 12:27
well, if you were getting married for the wrong reason in the first place, better that you break it off so she can find someone who is worthy of her. -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 12:18 1
- and, next time, wear a condom. -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 12:25
Need a bit more info on this one. -- nm - Spawn Apr 1, 12:18
