And now, she doesn't...

So, yesterday morning I get a text from Candice asking, "How did you know that you loved dad?"

Uh oh. What is this? Is she having second thoughts?

I responded with a long-winded text but never heard back from her. Hours went by and no response from her. Already my radar is up and I'm aware that something is not right. Finally, at 9:12p she responds with, "I'm not ready to get married."

I hit the roof. 

I mean, I completely lost it. 

I, obviously, am already insecure about her commitment because she'd broken up with Aaron twice recently. But with this last reuniting, she'd accepted an engagement ring, bought the dress, had the ring sized, we're spending money traveling out of town for everything including choosing the venue. She's seemed so excited - on Cloud 9 - and then BAM! What the heck is going through her mind? How can someone walk around seeming so completely happy and excited about the wedding only to call it all off?!

She's started drinking alcohol recently. Is it the alcohol? She's also started hanging out with another girl who is known for her poor influence on Candice. Is it this girl's influence again? And there's suspicion that her boss is pursuing her despite knowing that she's in a relationship with Aaron. Is it this guy? 

I'm Aaron's mother first. I'm not going to sit on this information and just wait for him to be blind-sided by her. I enter his room and show him the texts and he immediately begins attempting "damage control."


Update: All of Aaron's attempts to save the relationship have failed. The wedding is off...
