Help with my english! :(
Hey guys! I’m Jenny, I’d love to improve my English so I’m taking some classes here in my city, but I’d like to go beyond that, so, besides practicing I want to expand my vocabulary in a way I’d probably wouldn’t do by talking (since we normally don't use those words), and that is through writing, but there are things I just don’t know how to say and I wondered if you could help me out ^_^
So, these are some paragraphs I wrote myself but that probably have mistakes. I’d really appreciate that you’ve taken the time to read this post :) My deepest thanks!
- The move day seemed (OFF: is it valid to say Move Day? I mean, the day of moving to another house) to have no end, especially for Marie’s indifference toward him.
- She had been playing the cat and mouse chase, appearing and disappearing from his life.
- “When you asked me to come with you I was about to accept, but I decided it was best to give you time alone, to see how you dealt with your life, if you were able to live without me”
- “You cheated on her with me and you didn’t care about her feelings. In the end I attended the fake wedding and in the honeymoon I told Jeff that left him for another man”
- He hated her, how was it possible that after all that he could not even take the first step downstairs? She was right, in all that time he had realized more than ever how much he loved her and needed her, two years ago that love was not that big, he needed that suffering to clear his mind, change his life, order his priorities, and especially to mature.
- They were simply two human beings who either by fate or rather their own decision needed each other, complemented each other and would live to love each other madly.
Another doubt I have: how do you say when you’re going to meet someone but you never appear without letting that person know you won’t be there? In that case I jilted him? Or I stood him up?

- The moving day seemed (OFF: is it valid to say Move Day?---ok pero raro) I mean, the day of moving to another house) to have no end, especially for Marie’s indifference toward him.
- She had been playing
cat and mouse with him (un modismo, no usas chase, pero lo entenderiamos), appearing and disappearing from his life. simplemente diga "cat and mouse" no necesitas "the"
- “When you asked me to come with you I was about to accept, but I decided it was best to give you time alone, to see how you dealt with your life, if you were able to live without me” perfecto
- “You cheated on her with me and you didn’t care about her feelings. In the end I attended the fake wedding and on the honeymoon I told Jeff that left him for another man” un poco desubicado- no estoy seguro lo que pasa
- He hated her, how was it possible that after all that he could not even take the first step downstairs? She was right, in all that time he had realized more than ever how much he loved her and needed her. Two years ago he didn't lover her; he needed that suffering to clear his mind, change his life, order his priorities, and especially to mature.
- They were simply two human beings who either by fate or rather their own decision needed each other, complemented each other and would live to love each other madly. madly esta palabra aqui es un poco demasiado dramatica; tal vez funcione si habiera mas contexto
Another question I have: how do you say when you’re going to meet someone but you never appear without letting that person know you won’t be there? In that case I jilted him? Or I stood him up? To stand someone up - las explicaciones que tu has recibido son correctas
usa "question" no "duda" si hay algo que no entiendas. "Doubt" se refiere a una cosa sobre el que que tu no estas seguras si es cierto o no. I doubt my favorite team will the match tonight por ejemplo. Es error es muy muy comun!

'' To stand somebody up''- is the correct term used. For example, if you make a( romantic ) date with somebody and you decide not to appear ( and do not advise them beforehand ).
If someone is '' jilted '' by a romantic partner ,it means that one partner has ended the relationship suddenly. Another term used is '' dumped ''

In — “You cheated on her with me and you didn’t care about her feelings. In the end I attended the fake wedding and in the honeymoon I told Jeff that left him for another man” — It seems almost like two different coversations. I don't know, It's a bit confusing to me.
About your last question,
I'm pretty sure it's "I stood him up". At least it's what I've heard all my english speaking life in a variety of contexts.
I know I'm not a native speaker, but I think I have enough experience to make those corrections, I could be wrong though. You're english is pretty good. The title doesn't fit that :). Cheers!
