RENEGE

to fail to honor a commitment

to go back on a promise

the mistake of not following suit when able to do so
SYN - revoke

fail to fulfill a promise or obligation
SYN - go back on

"After having seemed so adamant about the proposal, he now, having this great insight, reneged his stance."

"I now i said that it was OK for you to go to the dance, but because of recent events i have to renege that statement."

"She only had one more chance, if she were to renege now on her promise to meet for lunch than it would be over."
