How To Handle Canceling An Engagement
Friday, April 30th, 2010Breaking an engagement isn’t funny like it seems when you are watching it occurs in a romantic comedy. When it happens for real it definitely is not going to get a laugh. It is extremely hard to know how to handle this life changing situation if you are directly involved.
Telling people about this news without totally falling apart can be a huge issue. How are you going to do it? Another question is who do you need to share this news with directly and who can hear it through the grapevine? Even for problems like this following a simple guide can be a huge help.
Friends and Family Members: This is probably going to be very tough but you are going to have to call your friends and family members and just say “The engagement is off” while trying to remain somewhat composed.
Each and every person you tell doesn’t have to know the whole story as to why the engagement is off. You are more than entitled to your privacy. If they want to know everything they can fill in the blanks themselves.
