I am so sorry, but if we do not know what really went on those weeks with Melissa and if you are married, you will understand it is a horrible thing to marry the wrong person. I do not think Jason did the wrong thing. He did the right thing, especially considering his child. Which could have been a huge factor that we just dont know about. All we know is what he said *things changed and it wasnt working*. He still loved Molly, which is the way the show is promoted, 2 up to the end. I am not upset with Jason, I think he is brave to do what he did, knowing he was going to get a lot of flack. People get engaged, live together, break up, it is life. He wanted to stop it before it got worse, was my impression. He admitted he still loved Molly and she still loves him. If they were talking during those weeks, so what. Bottom line is what Jason said *it isnt working out*...what is wrong with a man trying to find the right fit. I love him. I think he has a wonderful family and child and I hope it works our for him and Molly.

Fine, he came out and said it wasn't working for him. Great woo hoo, let's hear it for Jason!!!!! AND THE OSCAR GOES TO JASON MESNICK! However, if he felt that way from the moment he picked Melissa he should have confronted her in private and talk about it in private, the whole truth not just bits and pieces and then humiliate her on National T.V. The show could have started with what had just happened and then they could have just had Jason explaining what HE DID TO HER. He could have talked about what he felt, the changes he had and he could have said that HE broke off the engagement because he felt that he want it to try it with Molly. How low can you go? Had he taken care of this in private with Melissa and yes, try to work it out and if it doesn't work then you know what it doesn't work but at least you did not have to embarrassed this CLASSY LADY, because that is who Melissa became in front of REALITY T.V. JUNKIES last night, a very strong, composed, collected WOMAN that even though she was hurt she had the dignity to walk away and give the ring back. Melissa handle herself with much GRACE and that my friends is priceless. I hope and pray that Melissa's heart heals soon enough and I also pray that she realizes that it has nothing to do with her, that there was nothing that she did that made Jason reject her according to what he said. Melissa has shown that yes she has been dumped before and she has expressed words or self consciousness and she has nothing to be self conscious about. She is a smart, strong (even though she doesn't see it), caring, loving, beautiful, what you see is what you get kind of girl that deserves A WHOLE LOT BETTER than Jason Mesnick.
On the other hand Jason couldn't wait for Molly to come out. He was all giddy and all smiles while he claims that he was so hurt for Melissa (well, I didn't see him crying his eyes out after she left). That made him look like a jerk. Just another man that went on this "False hopes and expectations" kind of show to break again someone else's heart. This made it look like revenge from what he went through the last time with Deanna or whatever her name is (because I didn't watch that season).
Bottom line, yes we are all humans and we all make mistakes. Yes, Jason made a big mistake by picking Melissa and breaking her heart, that doesn't make him less of a jerk because he acted like one. Next time he needs to be very careful on what he wants and whom he chooses to be.
I wish all parties involved the best in life.

Melissa, There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You are the most beautiful, humble, and respectful person I've ever known. If Jason doesn't see that, it's a big loss for him - BIG loss! You are a very strong woman. You handled the situation professionally and the Melissa way because Melissa is a classy not trashy woman. You are who you are! And I love that about you. What you see is what you get; it doesn't get any better than that when it comes to relationships. You will find a MAN not just a man because that's what you deserve. God is with you, watching you every step of the way, preparing a MAN for you, a MAN that HE will create specifically for Melissa. Don't look back, no matter how much it hurts! Look ahead and prepare for the MAN for YOU! All my best wishes for you!

Will never watch the show again...Jason is a cry baby JERK..should have broken off with Melissa before she gave him all her heart..and can u believe how desperate..Molly..."why yes darling, I'll be happy to wait around and be second"..hope he doesn't dump her. Don't know why he is divorced, but his ex probably did to him what he did to Melissa!!

Jason did the right thing, and Melissa knew something was wrong, but he is undercontract with the show and he could not tell her before last night. These are real people not actors, and he was being honest with his feeling. I am glad he told her now instead of months from now. My Heart goes out to all of them. He was honest,with his feeling & The show wanted Rateing and that's the bottom line.

I am sorry - I believe that Jaon Mesnick misrepresented himself as a humble, caring man.
He is a worm and should have thought all of this thru BEFORE he proposed to Malyssa - she did nothing except fall in love and it doesn't seem fair that she had to suffer this humiliation.
I certainly hope that he will be better at making decisions for his son than he is for himself.

To the show.....I am done watching this show. It is not reality, it is scripted. I cannot believe anyone with a heart would do what Jason did to Melissa...and then for Molly and Jason to continue their love story 2 minutes after he broke things off with Melissa just does not happen to normal people.
Jason has personal issues....he is divorced for a reason..and especially so soon after a child was born....he cannot commit to one woman...as you could see him falling for so many on the show. I am so happy for Jillian and Naomi who ended up "falling in love" but being let go by Jason and steering clear of the humiliation. Jason...you deserve noone...seeing as you love yourself so much you should be happy alone.

I think what Jason did was so wrong! All I have to say to him is what goes around is going to come right back around. You keep saying your sorry, but what is sorry going to do for someone whose just been dumped on national tv. Good luck to you and your future jason

AND... Jason's family was worried about him and his heartache????? "He's been thru so much...blah,blah,blah." This "relationship" has no chance in he** of surviving. Molly appears to be a stiff, uptight, rigid, manipulative and terribly inflexible person. Can't wait to see what would happen once she became pregnant with her OWN child! One bet is that Ty would take a back seat in everyway possible. She was uncomfortable and awkward to watch. Everyone I know as thinking she would be long gone by Week 3. Well, one thing viewers wouldn't have to worry about would be revenge against Jason; he would be living a nightmare with that woman, every day of his life.
