He Thought I Was Bluffing
1k Views · Ongoing · August
Three months ago, I broke up with Julian, my boyfriend of eight years.
But Julian refused to accept it. He thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
For three months, he carried on with the new intern at his office while he waited for me to come back and apologize.
Meanwhile, I'd already accepted someone else's proposal. I'd even booked the wedding venue.
When we ran into each other at a college reunion and everyone asked when the wedding was, he gave his usual excuse: "We haven't decided yet."
At almost the exact same moment, I said, "The last Saturday in September."
Furious, he dragged me into a corner. "Are you trying to force me to propose? I told you to wait!"
I pulled my hand free. "You wait all you want. I'm getting married."
He thought I was bluffing to back him into a corner.
He didn't realize the breakup was real.
He didn't know I'd found out about the young intern he'd been hiding long ago.
And he had no idea that the man I was marrying wasn't him.
