[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm married, and think an engagement is NOT the same as a marriage. Nothing on this earth is. An engagement is a promise - - a marriage is a contract; an engagement is a good faith promise to commit to a contract. Like a down payment, or earnest.  It is not the contract itself.

Better to break a promise than to break a contract and have more severe penalties.[/quote]

+1. The whole point of an engagement is to make sure it's the person you want to marry. It's more serious than dating, so you get to learn more about the person, but it's not the real thing yet.

If they can't stick with only you during engagement, much better to learn that before marriage. [/quote]

OMG! Why are you people so dense!
No engagement is not the same as marriage but is still a serious thing. 
It's not cool to knowingly go after engaged people, just like it's not  cool to knowingly go after  someone with a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Would you honestly be okay with someone going after your fiance? Would you advise your friends to do this?
Would you go after someone else's fiance?[/quote]

My boyfriend was engaged when he met me and broke off his engagement.  He wasn't sure if he wanted to marry her.

I didn't know he was engaged when we met but we got on really well and I was interested.

We are currently dating but I don't blame myself for his breaking off his engagement either.  He would not have continued with his engagement anyway.  They were living together and it just did not work out.[/quote]

Can you not see this is different from what OP is talking about?

Just as a favor to you since you seem to be a little slow on the intake , dump your boyfriend, save yourself the future heartache.[/quote]

My grandmother dumped her fiancé to marry my grandfather and they were married for 60+ yrs until grandpa died.  Breaking off an engagement is common and does not make you a cheater.  That is why there is a difference between "engaged" and "married"  since you are slow and don't know the difference.[/quote]
