As if that moment wasn’t awful enough, a week later she returned—with a suitcase. She literally moved in “for a couple of weeks” to “help me prepare for marriage.”
In her world, that meant trailing me around the kitchen to show me how to cook “real meals,” lecturing me about how often a wife should vacuum, and even trying to rearrange our closet so I’d “stop dressing like a teenager.” I felt like I’d been thrown into some sort of twisted domestic bootcamp I never signed up for. That night, after she once again told him he deserved better—and he nodded along—I ended the engagement.
I packed my things and left. He asked why, and I told him, “Because you already believe you deserve better.” He said I was “making a big deal out of nothing.”
His family thinks I overreacted. My mom says I should find a compromise and avoid burning bridges.
But I don’t think I exaggerated anything—I simply took them at their word and walked away. So… am I overreacting? Source: brightside.me
