She was never going to say ‘yes’
This story confirms the saying that “Why cheat? You do not want to lose with someone you do not want to keep.” He wanted his cake and to eat it too. However, life gave him what he deserved. She said no to his proposal because he cheated on her with an old friend from high school while they were in college. They had been together for six years and were long-distance during college. After undergrad, she returned to their hometown for her master’s while he was training for his law degree.
He was cheating on her all that time, and when he finally proposed to her, she turned him down for that reason. He didn’t pass his training exam to allow him to proceed in law. After she finished her master’s program, she married another man while he married another girl. The push comes to shove one day. She was at a restaurant with her family when she saw that the girl he was cheating on her with was their server.
