I was engaged to a girl for about a year. Things were going great, until one day, she called me over to her house and broke our engagement. I took the engagement ring back and held onto it for about a year. She never gave me an explanation, as why she backed out of our proposed marriage. I gave her a month to think things over. I never heard from her again, ever.
To this day, I sometimes scratch my head and wonder what the heck happened. It was not infidelity on each of our parts. We were too crazy in love with each other for that to happen.
Today, I would have felt much better about myself, if only she had told me why.
Two years after our breakup, I was told that she had a sister in a mental institution. I was not aware of this…...at all.
Maybe, this was her reasoning for our breakup. Maybe she thought our children would also be mentally challeged. Who knows? I would have accepted this fact and dealt with it later in our lives, IF this had been the only problem.
What other deep, dark secret could she have held from me?
