I was in a relationship for 3 years and engaged for 1 year me and my fiancé/boyfriend just broke up its nothing new we always off and on. I cheated on him and contacted my ex's while we were together. He cheated on me also and contacted his ex's. We argued a lot. But everything that happens in the relationship is my fault. Everytime I try to tell my feelings he gets mad at me and throw everything I've done back in my face. I've tried talking to him and contacting him during this break up but he has a attitude towards me and treats me like a stranger he thinks everything he does is correct. I'm blamed for everything. I told him lies and I didn't keep my promises. And I do feel like this break up has a lot to do with me and my bad decisions.

What role did you allow God to play in this relationship? My advice is to put this relationship on the back burner and pray for God to provide His guidance for your life. Welcome to CC.

Why would either of you want to marry? You're both liars and cheats. Getting married would be an utter disaster that would ruin both of your lives. If he's treating you like a stranger now, then, literally, thank God for sparring you from the biggest mistake in your life.
Quit chasing after him because he's no one worth marrying. And really, currently you are not either. You can each, apart from one another, learn to quit being this way. But if i were you i'd move on and stay OUT of any relationships until you have matured enough to behave correctly in a relationship.
And that fact that you are continually on and off only verifies it. You think you can handle the commitment of marriage when you can't even stay together while dating?
Lastly if he throws things in your face and blames you for everything, then why would you Want to be with him? He's a jerk on top of all the other crap. Also, him throwing your past in your face constantly and blaming you for things he's just as guilty of is a red flag for potentially abusive behavior in the future. Some could say it's just the beginning of it.
Leaving someone after such a long time is scary, but not everything good for you is easy. It's time to mature mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Walk away and don't look back. Spend your time growing closer to God so He can grow you into a right person. Not trying to be mean by saying all this, but it sounds like you need to be shocked out of your trance and see what's really going on, and that's why i was so blunt.
Hopefully you heed this and realize you need to change yourself, and forget about him, and set your eyes to God and let Him grow you into the kind of woman He intended you to be, not the one you are. Wish you well.

Are you good enough?

Absolutely! You're good enough for God to love completely just as you are and to guide you into a new lifestyle of peace and joy and love.

I agree with Ugly about neither of you being ready for marriage. You need to stay away from that disastrous situation and find a good counselor to help you heal and grow. Blessings to you, dear.

Hi Lisa96, and welcome to CC!
What you're both dealing with is an absence of accountability to God. As AuntieAnt said, put this relationship aside. Get some perspective on your own behaviour; you can't change his anyway. Ask the Lord to convict you of your sinful actions and habits. Become a person who is upright in character and full of grace, knowing that you have been forgiven much. When you have done the work on yourself, start by setting a high standard for your significant relationship, and don't accept any less.

The key issue is not whether you are "good enough"; Jesus already answered that for you. However, whether you are sufficiently Christlike is a completely different question. For that, consider whether you would want to be in a relationship with yourself... whether you would put up with your actions, words, habits, etc. Until you have a high standard, and the answer is 'yes', don't seek another relationship, because you won't be healthy enough for it. Keep seeking the Lord for His correction and adjustment. :)

Sounds like there's a cloud of discontentment in your life on many levels. Your not happy with him and not without him.
My suggestion is to build your relationship with Christ and learn about what His plan is for you alone. Sounds like you're searching and not knowing what you're looking for.
Bored? When you're with him. And want him when youre broken up......

This is way more than just this relationship. Look deep in yourself. Pray.

Let God come in mate. and honestly, i think it's really good that you took responsibility for your mistakes but don't take all of the responsibility for everything either. mistakes are mistakes because you've only made it once, if you do it again, it's a choice. don't choose them. and i still want you to love yourself as well, don't hate yourself and don't think down on your beauty either. you will still be beautiful, 100% :) it'll get better love, bring it to God, he can do amazing things.

You're good enough to leave this man and find someone better..
