In 2022, I was brimming with excitement about our recent engagement. I had spent countless hours planning our future together, envisioning the wedding, and imagining a life as a married couple. However, there was something amiss, a nagging doubt that lurked beneath the surface.

Larel’s lack of enthusiasm had me perplexed. I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t as thrilled as I was about our impending union. It gnawed at me until, finally, I mustered the courage to confront the issue head-on.

What I discovered was both shocking and liberating. A year after our engagement, Larel confessed that he had never truly desired marriage. The weight of this revelation hung heavy in the air, but I was grateful for the clarity it brought.

It wasn’t the outcome I had hoped for, but knowing the truth before saying “I do” was a gift. It allowed me to make an informed decision about the future of our relationship and my own path forward. Sometimes, closure comes in unexpected ways, and I’m thankful for the clarity that set me free.
