A woman is under fire for wanting to 'break up' her ex's engagement.
Taking to parenting forum Mumsnet, the woman remained anonymous as she asked for advice on a post she titled 'Should I break up their engagement'.
She explained how a man she casually dated for around 10 days is now engaged and she claims she realises that she's in love with him.

Posting on the AIBU thread, she said: "So my AIBU [Am I being unreasonable] is simple I realised I'm in love with a guy i met in Uni, I used to casually see on/ off for around 10 years, and suddenly he's met someone and they're engaged, we were still flirting when this new relationship started (which is annoying) when he told me about the wedding his words were "You had so many chances"
"So...my question is should I tell him how I feel before it's too late and potentially ruin the engagement?"
The post quickly accumulated hundred of comments with many hitting back at her and calling her selfish.
One said: "Nope. You want what you can’t have."
"You've suddenly realised how you feel about him, now that he's in a serious relationship with someone else? After a decade of not bothering to do anything about it? Are you serious?", a second hit back.
A third said: "Tell him. I bet it won't end his engagement."
To which the poster replied: "Yeah that's what I wanna do just tell him so he knows how much a I care/ cared about him. I doubt it'll break up his engagement but it might stop me being invited to the wedding which I am."
"Why would you do it though? It’s all about you without a thought for him. Your thread title was should I break up their engagement which shows how much you think of yourself", another added.
Thinking about all parties, a Mumsnet user commented: "To tell him now would be unfair to all three of you...If you send that message that you're in love with him, you can't take it back. You could ruin their relationship, then potentially find your feelings aren't actually as strong as you think."
"I think you're just scared your back up guy is moving on and worried about being single."
But one interjected: "He also had so many chances if that was a what he wanted from you, but it obviously wasn’t."
Another simply commented: "Get over yourself."
"If you are 100 per cent positive that you are absolutely in love with him. You would marry him tomorrow..then tell him. If you don't feel the aforementioned then I would say don't. Nothing hurts more than unrequited love", someone added.
