“I don’t want you to marry me because you saw some suitcases and you got scared.
We started couples therapy.
Not to get to the altar as soon as possible.
It’s to find out if I still had a relationship that was worth taking there.
Things came to the surface that we had never talked about.
Michael’s parents had had a bad divorce.
For years he had associated marriage with the loss of freedom and lawsuits.
But instead of telling me that, he had always made up reasons:
The career.
The house.
The renovation.
The money.
I, in turn, accepted each postponement because I was afraid of the answer I would get if I insisted.
We both avoided the truth.
The difference was that, on the evening of the anniversary, Mihai had turned him into a mockery.
And that couldn’t have been wiped out with a ring.
