Ive been in a relationship with my boyfriend for two years now. He recently proposed to me, and of course I said yes. However, I was confused by the fact that he wasnt in any rush for us to move in together.
He lives in his parents three-bedroom flat, while Im staying in student accommodation. I firmly believe its important for couples to live together before marriage, so they can get used to each other and see what its really like. I told my fiancé about this, but he pretended not to understand what I meant. Then, as luck would have it, his parents had to go away for two weeks and we got a chance to live together during that time.
I tried my best to be the perfect housekeeper. I cooked delicious meals, cleaned, and kept the flat spotless. Every day, I treated my fiancé to special dishes and tried to make him happy.
If it werent for one thing, everything would have been fine. I asked him if he could help by hoovering, but he said he wasnt going to do womens work. He insisted that, in his family, the man is responsible for providing, not helping out around the house. I kept quiet, thinking that once we lived together properly, hed change his attitude.
By the time his parents returned, the flat was gleaming. I wanted to impress them, so I baked a cake, cooked dinner, and then headed home.
The next day, Sebastian told me his mother wasnt pleased with me. Apparently, she thought I wasnt a good hostess. I was shockedwhen I first visited, their flat was much messier. Why did she speak badly about me? She didnt even appreciate the treats I made, saying she found them unappealing. I felt so insulted!
I think she simply doesnt want her son to leave home, and thats why she doesnt like me. Maybe shes found someone else she thinks is more suitable for him Why do I suspect this? Because since his parents came back, Sebastian has been distant and hardly talks to me. I dont think there will be a wedding after all.
What do you think?
