    The problem is mine. The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails. I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we've had.

    Man the fúck up Rory for fecks sake. You had another 6 months to get used to all that it entails instead you dump a fine looking woman. If you're happy to hand jockey yourself for the rest of the year instead of the real thing well then so be it.

    thats what i said, but they were pointing out money is no object here....


    still i guess like i said in the op, i would prefer the embarrassment than to marry someone i wasn't happy with.

    There might be a teeny bit more to it than how she looks.

    Now is better than later, obviously. That poor girl must be devastated though, him too. I can't imagine it was easy either way.

    I did it when we were engaged for three years. Together for seven years altogether. No definite wedding plans though.

    It was hard at the time, but definitely the right thing to do. The longer I left it, the worse it would have gotten, for both of us and for everyone else involved.

    I just feel sorry for that couple having to go through all of it with the media involved. Can't be easy for either of them.

    I feel sorry for Caroline, she must be really teed off.

    He seems like a little lost boy but we all make mistakes and at 25 he's entitled to make lots more.

    His first girlfriend grew up near him and could empathise with his roots and way of life and then Caroline could empathise with the life and pressures of professional sport. Perhaps he needs someone who isn't on his wave length at all.

    Personally I blame Terry Prone.

    She's probably used to it going back and forth.

    I suppose she'll just have to chalk it down to experience.

    I think what he did was indeed "manning up". He realised it wasn't what he wanted and he got out. It's pretty hard thing to do I would imagine.

    I think the best time to run from a wedding is as soon as you realise it's not what you want. Anything can trigger it, maybe reality kicked in when the invites went out?

    Isn't it better to call it quits now, rather than getting divorced down the line.

    I know a couple that had been going out with years and on their big day he got the jitters and never showed :eek: Believe it or not they eventually got married years after. He left her at the alter I don't know of any woman that would be that forgiving.

    Another neighbour have invitations sent out and a few presents received when they called off their wedding.

    Rory was definitely the driving force behind the split though.

    No doubt. But in fairness to Caroline, he's been at this racket for a while.

    In fairness, he makes it sound like a premier league team owner who's letting a manager go.

    "He wished Caroline the best for the future and said he will not be elaborating on their split in the future. "

    She took advantage of his love.

    That was bound to put a wedge between them.

    The first volley has been fired. Its all swings and roundabouts from here on out. Its par the course for a public break up though. Etc etc.

    Why not just get married anyway and for the rest of your lives feed of the silent rage of unspeakable hatred borne of the indescribable spite which will surely form between each other?

    So in other words like most other marriages

    Heard an awful story about a lady who left her husband the day after the wedding. The reason? They met someone they liked more when on a weekend away for their hen party. Why not mention this before the wedding? They wanted to have the big party anyway.

    My source was reliable, but I really really hope that there is more to the story than that, as it seems kinda despicable.

    (Also, this is too late on the scale of things.)

    Nice of you to speak for Liam, but I think you'll find he refers to himself as Irish (2m7sec):

    Rory obviously felt this would be to his advantage. Now he can love fifteen more before taking the plunge.
