After knowing someone for six years and working two jobs to save for a wedding, one Malaysian man thought he was just two weeks away from marrying her.
Instead, he says he found out that the woman was already engaged to another man and would soon be getting married too.
Taking to Threads, he shared his frustration and asked netizens what he should do, as arrangements for their wedding had already been made.
Worked day and night to save for their wedding
According to his post, the woman had asked him to save up so they could get married.
Determined to make it happen, he took on a second job and said he worked without any days off.
During the day, he worked in an office. At night, he became a food delivery rider.
After putting in all that effort, he was left questioning how things had turned out this way.
Wedding hall and catering already arranged
The man said he received the news about her other engagement just two weeks before their own wedding.
He added that she was supposedly due to marry the other man soon as well.
By then, the wedding hall and catering had already been sorted out, with the date and time fixed.
With the planned celebration approaching, he turned to Threads users for suggestions on what to do on the day itself.
Netizens urge him to seek compensation
Several commenters encouraged him to seek compensation over the wedding expenses.
Others questioned how the alleged situation had gone unnoticed by the families involved, while some wondered how arrangements for two weddings could have been made.
However, the screenshots do not establish what either family knew or whether two marriage applications had actually been submitted.
Others offer words of support
One commenter who said they had also experienced a cancelled wedding encouraged him to spend time with friends instead.
They recalled how their friends helped lift their spirits during that difficult period and urged him to stay strong rather than beg the woman to return.
The screenshots show the man’s account and reactions from other users, but do not include a response from the woman.
