I thought meeting my fiancé’s parents would be just another step toward our future, but one disastrous dinner revealed the truth about Richard’s world. By the end of that night, I was left with no choice but to cancel the wedding.I never thought I’d be the type to call off a wedding. But life has a way of surprising you, doesn’t it? I’m one of those people who prefer making big decisions after talking to my friends and family and knowing what they think about it. But this time, I just knew I had to do this.I knew I had to cancel the wedding because what happened at the restaurant that day was something I didn’t see coming. Before discussing that day, let me share a bit about my fiancé, Richard. I met him at work when he joined as a junior executive in accounting.
I don’t know what it was, but something about him attracted me. Something that made me notice him right away.Richard fit the definition of a handsome man. Tall, stylish hair, a warm smile, and a great sense of humor. He quickly became the office favorite, and soon, we were chatting during coffee breaks. We started dating around seven weeks after he joined, and I realized he was everything I wanted in a partner. Confident, kind, responsible, and solution-oriented. Just the kind of man a clumsy woman like me needed.Our relationship moved fast. WAY too fast, now that I think about it.
