I’m Engaged To A Man I Don’t Love



Dear Lady. Ann:

We have been engaged for about 8 months and I can’t tell if I’m just getting cold feet or this is really a sign for me to call the whole thing off. I’m 31, no kids and have a good job. My fiance is also an amazing man. From all my previous relationships, this is the most peaceful relationship I’ve had.

When we first started dating, I was just happy to have a man that wasn’t toxic or abusive. He was the opposite of everything I had known. I loved how he loves and respects me. He literally treats me like a Queen. But as months passed, I wondered if there was more. He proposed and I said yes, because, well he is a really great person.

I have been in love before, so I know what it feels like to be in love. That’s why I know I’m not in love with him. I like him but it is not love, love! Please, what do I do? I really don’t want to crush his heart, but I don’t want to spend the rest of my life searching for happiness somewhere else.

#DLATribe, what do y’all think?
