Since I Told Him My Secret, He Hasn’t Been the Same

I cannot believe I am here today writing my story. People always say what belongs to you will find you. For me, it came back after seven years.

When he proposed to me in 2018, I looked at him and said no. My reason was simple. He had dated a friend of ours. You know I keep to the girls’ code. You do not eat your friend’s leftovers. His response was just okay. And that was it. We still kept our friendship, but it was not the same. It was not comfortable like before.

In 2025, fate reconnected us. A lot had happened to me during all those years. I had messed up. I made wrong choices, took wrong paths, and made wrong decisions in my love life. It was wrong men at the right time and right men at the wrong time. It was all mixed up in those years.

After seven years, love came back to me with his arms fully open to embrace me. The day he asked the question every woman loves to hear, “Will you marry me?”, my heart melted. Without thinking twice, I said yes. When I asked him, “Why me?” He answered by saying, Why not you?.

At that very moment, a lot was going through my mind. All the wrong things I had done in the past. What if he finds out? Later that evening we were chatting, and he told me he would be waiting for my testimony. I responded by saying I would be waiting for his too. The reply I got triggered so many emotions. “You will be my testimony,” was what he said. I cried that night.

About a week ago, he met with a friend and introduced me as Mrs. I was worried because I did not know what would happen after he found out about my past. I did not know if that Mrs would become a reality.

Any time I am with him, I am happy, but I have been bottling up a lot of things. I would not want him to find out from someone else. As the saying goes, we live in a small world. So I decided to tell him myself.

I was finding it difficult to start, so he started with his story first. After he finished, he asked if I would want to be with him. I told him to let me finish, and then he could ask me that question. I started my story. He took the whole conversation much cooler than I expected. Then I asked my question. Would you want to be with me? His response was yes. He said we have all made mistakes.

A part of my life I could not confess to a man of God, I confessed to a man who has feelings for me. I knew it could change everything about us, and that scared me, but I had already done it.

Is There A Perfect One Out There For Everyone?

I felt lighter after telling him. But now I feel very heavy, not knowing what I will wake up to. These last few days have been the longest I have ever had. He seems calm, but I know he is not. He came to visit me yesterday, a day after I spilled everything. I wanted to kiss him, but he thought I was just giving him a hug. That kiss gave me the answer he could not say. He is not the same person after hearing all that.

Did I make a mistake by telling him? I am currently waiting for a time bomb to explode. I do not know when, and that scares me.

Today happens to be exactly seven years since he first proposed. But this time, did I destroy it with my own hands?

I love him, and I want to be with him.
