A Malaysian man’s dream of ending his single life was shattered when his fiancée abruptly called off their wedding just months before the ceremony was set to take place.
In a viral Threads post, the man shared that he had already imagined how happy he would be on his big day, with friends eagerly looking forward to celebrating with him.
Instead, the sudden breakup left him deeply hurt and disillusioned.
Which man wouldn’t be happy to finally settle down? But I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.
“I don’t think I can trust women anymore, except my mother, my foster mother, and my sister,” he wrote.
Worked a year to save up RM30k
According to his post, his former fiancée’s family had set a marriage payment of RM30,000, citing her university degree as the reason. He said he agreed to the amount and requested a year to gather the money.
“I worked hard, saved every ringgit, and even asked for time just to collect the money,” he shared, adding that the wedding was supposed to take place after Raya this year.
However, everything changed when the woman’s family later met his mother to inform her that the bride-to-be wanted to end the relationship.
“She already has someone else,” he claimed, saying the news left both him and his family devastated.
Tight savings, side jobs, and family loans
The man revealed that he eventually managed to raise the RM30,000 through a combination of salary savings, cutting back on daily expenses, and taking on part-time work as a food delivery rider during his days off.
He also borrowed some money from his mother, using savings left behind by his late father, as well as from his sister to make up the full amount.
With the wedding now cancelled, he said his priority is to repay all the money he borrowed.
His story drew an outpouring of sympathy from netizens, many of whom acknowledged how emotionally and financially draining it is when a wedding is called off at the last minute.
Some also shared similar experiences, including cancelled weddings just months before the planned date, while gently reminding him not to lose hope or generalise all women based on one painful experience.
