One of my closest biatches sent me this message about her and the guy that she was seeing before and the romance was cut off due to cultural differences.
HE was bethrothed by his parents to a girl he doesn’t love and doesn’t even know her from head to toe.
Here’s what my friend said:
You know what i did today?
I went out for dinner with the guy i’ve been telling u about. The one who got engaged …. he invited me with his friends…it broke my heart even more…
I was there sitting next to him,laughing,making fun of each other as if we were still a couple….all his friends looking at us knowing that we had something and still have in a certain way…and he was all so nice and caring and serving me food…he was in such a great mood,i haven’t seen him like for a long time….
And he text me the moment i got in the taxi telling how happy he was i came and how much it meant for him…and we talked when i got home and i asked him why did u invite me and he said he said he wanted to have people that are close to him and that i am the closest one in a way no one can ever be and that he still loves me…
I saw that in his eyes through out dinner — but also the engagement ring on his finger…
Honestly, I just love how she ended her email. The last eight words simply made me sigh.
That’s why I asked her permission if I could publish it in my blog anonymously.
If you were her what would you do?
Obviously, the guy is a coward to fight what his heart tells. He loves my girl friend but that same love is NOT enough for him to be a man.
But, then, hell, yeah. How can you measure a man?
