She regretted her refusal
This Redditor loved his girlfriend and proposed after three years of dating. Though she was older, she had qualities he wanted. He proposed with a ring and got a no, a response that stemmed from age difference based on claims and her mother’s perspectives. It was a hard blow to him, and he almost lost everything, including his job. Worst still, she was bossy and was bullying him.
One day he had to leave because of his father’s health conditions, and she didn’t care if he went or stayed. He met another woman who saw something different and positive in him, thanks to fate. He proposed to her after seven years of dating, which has been amazing; he even got a new job as an additional blessing. His ex-girlfriend admitted regret afterward, especially as she fell in love with an abuser and a drunkard.
