My boyfriend Patrick and I had been together for two years. He always said we needed more time before making any big commitments. But everything changed when I inherited a three-bedroom apartment from my aunt. Suddenly, Patrick was eager to get married and move in.
At first, I played along, pretending to be excited about our future together. But it didn’t take long for me to realize that Patrick only wanted me for my new asset. One day, I came home early and caught him and his mother measuring the living room, planning to move in without my knowledge.
That’s when I confronted him about his true intentions. He admitted that he wasn’t ready to marry me before because he didn’t think I was “the kind of woman men fight for.” But I had a surprise for him – I had already sold the apartment and was ready to move on with my life.
Patrick was devastated, and his mother was furious. But I was relieved and happy to be free from the toxic relationship. I blocked their numbers and started fresh in a new city, finally living life on my own terms.
