Hey, Hey Waffle gang. I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more relationship stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider in the like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys. Now, today's first story is titled ex-fiancee wants to catch up after he left

me at the altar. How do I proceed? And before we do get into the story, I got to give you a couple

of warnings. It does contain death of a parent and mentions of PTSD as well. If you do want to

skip the story, please feel free to do so.

Thank you.

Well, exactly what the title states.

Also, I'm writing this on mobile, so sorry for any formatting issues.

My 28 female ex-fiance, Derek, 32 male, disappeared the morning of our wedding two years ago,

evading all attempts to reach in from myself and his family.

It was devastating, absolutely soul-crushing.

The event turned into a party to distract from all the pain of the unknown.

Afterwards, I returned to our apartment and

slept on the bathroom floor in my wedding dress. It was quite the ugly sight, to be honest.

His mother ended up coming to the apartment when she informed me tearfully that Derek had run off

with an ex of his. They had apparently reconnected a week prior to the wedding and he just couldn't

go through with it, opting instead to rekindle his relationship with his ex.

His family was horrified.

I didn't hear from him until three months after he left.

He called me, apologized and then revealed that his ex had been hiding his child from him

that he just found out about.

He wanted to be with them.
