There are two posts that lead up to this one, so I suggest you read those first for context.

A lot of you asked me for another update, and honestly, I never thought I'd be giving one, but here we are.

Before we get to the update, I wanted to answer some of the questions I saw in the comments. Many of you were curious about my and my ex-fiancée's backgrounds. I'm of South Asian (Pakistani) descent, and she's half Swiss and half German.

Some of you even questioned if she lied to me about doing a PhD. I can assure you that she is actually pursuing a PhD and should be finishing in a couple of semesters. Also, when we first started dating, she didn't know much about my financial situation, so I don’t think she started dating me because of my money. Of course, it probably influenced things once she found out, but I don't think it was her initial motivation.

Now, for the update. Like I mentioned in my previous post, she wanted to meet in person, and I agreed. However, I later changed my mind and suggested that we talk over the phone instead. We ended up having a detailed conversation the other day. No, she didn’t say she was pregnant. Instead, she informed me that she would be moving out of my apartment by October 15th. She also offered to return the engagement ring, but I told her to keep it.

During our conversation, she mentioned that she misses me and regrets how she handled things. She admitted that she would have approached the situation with a different, more mature attitude if I had brought up the prenup now. In short, she was very apologetic. I told her that whatever happened, happened for the best, and I wished her well. She wished me the best too, and we said our goodbyes. Overall, it was a mature conversation, and I feel like she understands that she was in the wrong. She asked if we could stay friends, and I said sure, but honestly, I don’t think we'll have much contact moving forward—especially after she moves out.

Many of you also suggested that I tell my mom the real reason for ending the engagement. My mom has been out of the country, so I haven't had much chance to talk to her, but today I finally had an opportunity to explain everything in detail. My mom was shocked, to say the least. She told me that my ex has been in contact with her almost every day since the breakup, saying how she was looking forward to becoming her daughter-in-law, how she had already started planning the wedding, and how much she was going to miss her. My fiancée was always close to my mom and often told me how much she loved her, so I'm not sure of the real motivation behind these calls—whether it's genuine or if there's a hidden agenda. Regardless, my mom now understands why I made the decision I did, and she fully supports me.

So that's the final update. Overall, I’m confident I made the right decision.
