There’s unfortunately no shortage of engagements gone wrong, as this thread revealed. Keep scrolling for some of the most terrible times people were left red-faced, rejected and regretting their life choices. And don’t miss the heartwarming chat Bored Panda had with someone who turned down several marriage proposals, before finally saying “yes!” and tying the knot well into their sixties.

You see, this “spinster” was fine with being called that, by friends, family and her generation of society at large. As long as she didn’t have to tie any knots. In case you’ve never heard the word, the Oxford dictionary’s definition of spinster is a derogatory and outdated name for an “unmarried woman, typically an older woman beyond the usual age for marriage”. So what eventually led her down the aisle in the twilight of her life? Bored Panda tracked her down and she agreed to tell us, provided we call her “Kate”.  Broberr , Pixabay/Pexels Report
“He phoned me a few months later and I was determined to get him together with a friend who had also recently gotten divorced, but they did not hit it off. We went out as friends for a while before it turned into more than friends and the first time he mentioned marriage was about 6 months after we started ‘dating’. It was the furthest thing from my mind, so I tried to change the subject.” almondjoy12 , Kampus Production/Pexels Report

It wasn’t long before Kate regretted her decision. “I suddenly realized I did not want to get married, to be known as ‘Mrs O’. I rather liked my name and wanted to keep it. Also being in charge of my own finances was important to me,” she revealed. “Over the years he asked me a few times again. I think it was the 5th time that he said he would never ask me to marry him again. I felt I had dodged a bullet.” anon Report

“If it is finance, discuss it and come to an amicable decision the way we did. If it is retaining your name, don’t back down!! Whatever the issue, in our work we find solutions, so try to find a middle ground if you love each other.” Grabthars_HammerTime , Anastasia Shuraeva/Pexels Report

“Ours is not a great love story as we sort of drifted into it, but it is a story of love and hugs and I do get more hugs now. Also, I can answer my dad now: Yes, daddy, I actually am happy.” bong_sau_bob , RDNE Stock project/Pexels Report
