Hey brothers, I was supposed to get married next year. Lots of great things about the relationship, but the engagement period was expensive and there was an underlying assertiveness in her personality that I just couldn't get over.

My logical side couldn't comprehend the idea of all these expenses for what may turn out to be a bitchy personality in the future. I could just feel it, it's there, underneath the sweetness she portrayed when I was around. My gut kept telling me that the glimpses of intensity I see when she interacts with other people would eventually turn on me one day when it's too late.

I finally walked away, but with it comes the burden of depression and lost time. I know it's the right decision, but it still feels like losing a close friend. Being close to someone and sharing all your feelings, thoughts and fears .. meeting all her friends and family, then walking away is really hard.
