I Was Engaged to the Perfect Man
A Disturbing Message
Days after Ethan proposed, I found “You picked the wrong guy, gave him the wrong finger” spray-painted on his car. We thought it was a cruel prank, but it felt personal.
A Suspicious Discovery
Security footage revealed nothing, but I couldn’t ignore my instincts. One night, I saw a strange message on Ethan’s phone. The next day, I followed him to a quiet address—then saw him talking to our neighbor, Jay.
The Truth Revealed
Later, Ethan parked near Jay’s house. I overheard him say he and Jay were involved and that he was gay but had hidden it. When I confronted him, he said, “I felt safe with you, but I was scared.” I ended the engagement.
Letting Go, Moving On
Jay apologized, saying he wished he had told me earlier. We shared a quiet moment, and I realized, “I hadn’t just lost a relationship—I had rediscovered my self-worth.”
