Pearoast ahead
After a holiday away (with her parents I should add) I thought it would be a good idea to tell her that I had been going to ask her to marry me but had realised I actually didn't want to....unsurprisingly this killed it stone dead, right there.

Good instant get out phrase. Thanks.
Added it to my "theres no wow factor in our relationship"

Reminds me of a friend
He was engaged, doing all those things you do when organising a wedding, and probably walking like a hunchback because he was one of those strange, deluded religious types who don't fuck before marriage.

Then his fiancee announces that she'd had a bit of an epiphany:

"I realised this morning that I'm not just getting married, I'm getting married to you. So I want to break it off."

Nice. I wish I was one of these caring, compassionate Christian types.

Have seen enough divorces..
to know that the cruelty before the wedding is preferable to the long drawn out brain rape of legal process. I saved myself some hassle and married a matrimonial lawyer. I know I'm fucked if we ever have that sort of terminal problem so makes we work just that little bit harder at being a decent husband!

Just to be controversial I don't think you needed to add the reason why religious types might be considered deluded, it pretty much sells itself!
