The Spreadsheet: Leaving the Safe Choice Behind

Summary

On the eve of our wedding, I found a spreadsheet on Colin’s laptop.

It was filled with details about the girls he had dated.

In my column, it read: [Quiet, obedient, the safe choice for marriage.]

While in his first love’s column, it read: [You are a free bird, destined to soar proudly into the distance.]

He had told her he wouldn't marry her.

Because his wife had to manage three meals a day, care for him, raise his children, and wait on his overbearing parents hand and foot.

He couldn’t bear to put her through that.

I didn't argue, nor did I make a scene.
