Description
Two weeks ago, Nick was planning to surprise Molly on her birthday. He booked a hotel room and bought an engagement ring. Molly has been waiting for her boyfriend to propose since forever. He covered Molly’s eyes and led her all the way down to their hotel room. Even though she knew that today was her birthday and that Nick was trying to make her day, she wasn’t that happy. He must watch out. Things weren’t as he set up and planned for. Nick removed the scarf from her eyes, kneeled down, opened the ring box, and asked Molly to marry him. Molly didn’t respond back. She didn’t say I do. Instead, she had a change of heart. She didn’t want him anymore. Molly is the type of person that always chooses to compromise things. She would always settle for what her boyfriend wants. She thought that Nick was a catch. But unfortunately, Nick was rarely appreciative of her sacrifices. He made her feel unappreciated, unworthy, and plagued by regret. But not this time. She didn’t want to be screwed up again. She finally got it off her chest and told him how she felt about this relationship. She went against the grain and she refused to get hitched to the one who stayed with her for 8 years and who she had begged to marry for 5 years. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wafa-damlaj/message
