Thanks all for the replies so far. I should say I posted this thread as I wondered if anyone else spotted a pattern between the guy from work and the breakup. The ring has been returned to store, and I accept that the relationship is now over, and I’m now proceeding with focusing on myself in the aftermath.

Thanks for the reply. Yes although it was two years we both agreed it was a natural next step and we were both feeling ready before this. I’ve already walked away and blocked her on social media and am going “No Contact” with no intentions of begging or chasing.

Thanks for the reply. My family really liked her before this but everyone was surprised to hear what happened, especially that she’d said yes to my proposal only 17 days earlier. Admittedly she didn’t seem to show much excitement at the time.

I should also add I asked about this guy at work to which she said he was “just a friend”.

My ex broke up with me yesterday. She invited me to breakfast at the local pub, when I arrived (and after we ordered) she broke the news. We had been together just over two years after meeting online. On the 10th December this year I proposed to her, after we had previously discussed the idea of marriage and future countless times. When I proposed she said yes. Fast forward to yesterday, and she broke up with me. The reason she said was that she “loved me as a friend”. She said she felt like this for a few weeks, and I had noticed behavioural changes at the time (before the proposal), which I asked her about. Each time she said there was nothing wrong, and she said all was good between us. I asked why she said yes to my proposal, and she said she thought it was just a phase that would pass. The fact she broke up with me and handed back the ring in public really upset me after I’d taken into consideration her desires for a private proposal. She had been speaking to another guy at her work who works in another location in a nearby town. She got to know him, and mentioned him more, around the time I noticed these behavioural changes. She also went to the cinema with him behind my back. This was to see a film she had said no to me for as it “would be too busy on release weekend”. I obviously respected her wishes and left the pub without waiting for the breakfast to arrive. But I can’t help feeling there was more to this story than I am being told. What are everyone’s thoughts? As a side note I’ve gone No Contact and have blocked her on social media, but not her number.
