Sighing, he stroked his hair. Em, you’re paranoid. None of these ladies matter.”
“Nothing?” My voice soared, rage piercing my calmness. “How can you say that?”
Jake grew stern. I add a lot to this relationship. You want to waste this on insecurity?”
The end. His rejection and attitude encapsulated my feelings. It’s not insecurity when I have proof, Jake. Cannot do it. No one who despises me will marry me.”
Tom, I appreciate your candor. I commented as we drank coffee that it must have been hard to tell me.
He nodded. It was, Emily. It felt wrong to hide it from you. All deserve the truth.”
I understood how much my identity depended on Jake as we talked. As I sat across from Tom, I felt free and possible. This person prioritized honesty over convenience. It was refreshing and oddly hopeful.
We laughed as we went from serious to fun themes. I wasn’t expecting this lightness after such a hard blow. It reminded me that occasionally the debris can lead to something better.
Sitting with Tom, laughing, I felt lighter. It felt like fresh air after being indoors for too long.
I quipped, “I never thought a pizza delivery could change my life,” looking at Tom. His smile indicated comprehension.
Life is odd, Emily. He smiled, saying help might come from unexpected places.
I gained hope as we exited the café. I was ready to move on and welcome change. Whatever the future contained, I was on my way to happiness again, one piece at a time.
Karma Hit Hard When My Boyfriend Went on a Bachelorette Trip with All Women When the Truth Came Out My story involves secrets, deception, affairs, drama, and more. I once trusted my boyfriend’s female closest friend, but her bachelorette party invitation made me apprehensive. Only to discover their “friendship” was deeper than I thought!
Tell me about Matilda’s lesson that the universe knows when to interfere. Jake, my boyfriend, was asked to be Lisa’s “man of honor” at her wedding. I was less thrilled than he.
Lisa organized a weekend bachelorette at a lakeside cabin. Jake was the only guy invited, which disappointed me! It’s a lovely journey, honey! “I love you,” he said.
He remarked this happily packing his bags ahead of time. This happened at his apartment with three other guys while I watched.
