When you and your partner get engaged, it's one of the happiest days of your life. But sometimes that promise doesn't pan out, before you even get to the wedding. The more time you spend with somebody, the more their true selves emerge, and you might not like what you see.

On Reddit, the user @notnotaginer asked the community, "What made you break up with the person you thought you’d marry?" The answers ranged from amusing to heartbreaking to a bittersweet of both. Drugs, infidelity, financial problems - every relationship gets tested, and not all of them survive.

Here are 14 people who revealed why they broke up with their fiancé before the wedding day.

1. Must NOT love kids 2. Live your truth 3. "If you like it then you better..." 4. The Most Tragical Place On Earth 5. Moms know everything 6. Less money, mo' problems 7. Love bites 8. All talk, no action 9. "For better, or for...more better" 10. Surprise! 11. Parents just don't understand 12. Control freak 13. Depression is a disease 14. "Alcohol: The cause of and solution to all of life's problems"

That last one was poignant, right? If you're not bawling already, check out the full thread on Reddit here.

I hope all of those people were able to return their engagement rings. Those things are expensive!
