Engagements are supposed to be filled with love and joy, but for one woman, her fiancé’s shocking behavior shattered their relationship and left her questioning everything. She shared her painful story on Reddit, and it stunned everyone who read it.
The woman, 22, was excited to marry her 25-year-old fiancé. She thought he was her perfect match. He had proposed eight months earlier, and with just two days left before their small wedding, everything felt like a dream. They were both looking forward to starting their lives together.
But just before the big day, her fiancé made a request so outrageous that it completely turned her world upside down.
He told her he wanted his father to inspect her hymen in front of his brothers and uncles to confirm she was a virgin.
“I’m a virgin, and so is he. We agreed to wait until marriage,” she explained, still trying to make sense of it. “He had mentioned once that in his family, the father checks the bride’s virginity the night before the wedding. I thought it was a joke.”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a joke. Her fiancé was dead serious. He said it was a family tradition—a ritual that had to be done to prove the bride’s purity before she could be accepted into the family.
The woman was horrified. How could the man she loved ask her to go through something so degrading? The request made her deeply uncomfortable, but her fiancé wouldn’t let it go.
“If you love me, you’ll do it,” he told her. “If you really are a virgin, then you have nothing to hide.”
His words hit her like a punch to the gut. She couldn’t believe he was trying to turn this awful demand into a test of her love and honesty. Stunned and in tears, she left him, unsure of what to do next. Part of her wanted to call off the wedding on the spot, but she still loved him and had imagined a future with his family.
That night, she stayed at a friend’s house, wrestling with her emotions. She lay awake all night, thinking about what he had asked of her, and knew she couldn’t go through with it. The next day, she met her fiancé, determined to stand her ground.
“I can’t do this,” she told him, her voice calm but firm. “You need to respect my decision.”
But instead of listening, he doubled down. “This has to happen before we can marry,” he insisted coldly. “If you refuse, I’ll assume you’re hiding something. Maybe you’re not a virgin after all.”
Her heart sank. How could the man she loved think this way? Why was he treating her refusal as if she were the one doing something wrong? She tried to explain her feelings again, hoping he’d understand, but his anger only grew.
“You’re overreacting!” he yelled, his face twisted with frustration. “If you have nothing to hide, just do it!”
At that moment, she realized the man she was about to marry wasn’t the person she thought he was. She had hoped their love would be strong enough for him to stand up to his family, but instead, he was siding with them. Then, in a sudden outburst of rage, he slapped her.
Everything froze. The slap wasn’t just physical pain—it was the final confirmation that the man she loved was gone. She stared at him, tears streaming down her face.
“I don’t need to prove anything to you,” he said angrily, his voice full of venom.
That was it. The relationship was over. Her heart shattered, but she knew she couldn’t marry him. The man she thought she loved wasn’t real. He had shown his true colors, and there was no going back.
Without another word, she walked away, her heart heavy, but her mind made up. There would be no wedding.
Devastated, she went back to her friend’s house to process everything that had happened. It was hard to believe that just days earlier, she was excited to marry the man she thought she knew. Now, she was left heartbroken and betrayed.
When she shared her story on Reddit, people were shocked. Some even thought her story was too unbelievable to be true, but she confirmed every detail. The twisted family tradition and her fiancé’s behavior left readers horrified.
In the end, she chose to walk away and protect herself. Despite the heartache, she knew she had made the right decision. Her dignity and self-respect were worth more than a wedding to someone who could never truly value her.

I can only imagine what living with that family would be like. Good for her for believing in herself. Her response to him about not having anything to hide should be “and neither do I!”
