Too Many Engagements

To have one person pop the big question is a great thing and if that doesn't work to have another chance at it, makes you lucky. But what happens when you have been engaged too many times to, too many people? 

When you have been lucky enough to find the man or women of dreams, and can take it to the next stage of life (marriage) that is one of the best things in life. But having too many dream men or women could be a problem. Like being engaged more than 5 times in a life time but never making it down the aisle or what about 5 times in 3 year or in one. Yes people it is men and women out here, that have been engaged 5 or more times in one year to 5 or more people. At some point you have to stop! And try to get down to the problem of why you can't seal the deal.

I know a lady, let's call her Ms. No Commitment.. She will be 45 next year and she have been engaged way too many times. But let just talk about the years of 2012-2013. She has been engaged 4 times, well 5 if we are going to count the engagement she is in now.
When she first told me, she was getting married it was in late April of 2012. She seemed to be so happy, she was with her boyfriend for about 3years and he had asked her to marry him over dinner. After 2 months she called me and said the wedding was off, I all felt so bad and wanted to make her feel better but she said she was "okay". A month passes by and out the blue I see her downtown as I was shopping, she stops me and shows me her left hand.. BAM an engagement ring. I say ' congratulations ' and say I am happy you and your boyfriend worked it out.... Well I was 100% wrong. She looks at me and says. " I am not back with him!, he isn't even worth my time."  So now I feel dumb. Ms. No Commitment goes on to tell me, she has gotten with a new man that she met 2 weeks after she called off her first engagement.  Now I think this way too fast and that she maybe crazy but, I again say congratulations and then walk away.
So it is now September and I get a phone call and it's Ms. No Commitment on the other end of my phone, asking how I was and so on. I tell her and then she says to me " can you plan my wedding?" I tell her "yes" and go on to ask about the lucky man she is marrying. She tell me about him, and tells me how happy she is. It felt good to know someone can be hurt and jump right back into the game. As she talks to me about all of her ideas, I don't know made me ask but I found myself saying " Is this the same guy you told me about the last time, I seen you?"  She stopped for a minute..... And then goes "Oh No! Girl me and him didn't make it" O_o Here I am again lost, to how in the hell she keeps ending up engaged so fast, and with new men at that.
Long story short this happens 2 more time before February of 2013. So it is now May and she is engaged again! With a younger man and she says it's going to work this time..

Now when I tell this story people think it's no way.. She had to be telling a lie or just looking for someone to pay her some mind. No lie I thought the same thing, until I added her on Facebook and she invited me to see some private photos she had hidden, of her and her many fiancés.
Ms. No Commitment is one of many people in the world who just can't seem to get right, and she believes that it's the men she meets and feels she does nothing wrong.

So I guess I answered my own question, yes you can be engaged too many times..

  1. I'm not sure whether it's a funny or sad story Mrs Reid but you should think about some kind of relationship coaching career.

  2. Well Starry I guess for some it maybe funny and others sad, and for the people in between it maybe both. And thank you I have been thinking about something like that. Also thanks for reading. Follow me, I have been working on some new topics.
