After 8 Years Together, I Overheard My Boyfriend Say I Was “Not Wife Material” — One Week Later, He Came Home to Something He Never Expected I’m thirty, and until recently, I truly believed Adrian Cole was the man I would spend my life with.
We met in college as friends. Then we fell in love. After graduation, we moved into a house on Hawthorne Lane in Bellmere and slowly built what felt like a real life together.
Our families knew each other. We celebrated birthdays and holidays together.
We traveled. Made plans. Shared everything. There was only one thing that never happened.
A proposal. As the years passed and more of my friends got married, I kept hearing the same question.
“So… when is Adrian proposing?” Whenever I brought it up, Adrian always had another reason to wait.
