We had been living together for five years.
We were in love \u2014 or at least, I thought we were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But every time I brought up marriage, he\u2019d laugh it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the rush?\u201d<\/em> he\u2019d say.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We earned about the same, split bills equally, and had no real financial stress.
I never pushed him, thinking maybe one day he’d surprise me with a proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then everything changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few months ago, I received an unexpected inheritance from a distant relative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

An apartment, a house, and a significant amount of money.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t flaunt it, but he knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly\u2026 he changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He started planning romantic dates.
He mentioned \u201cour future\u201d<\/em> more than ever.
And then \u2014 after five years of brushing it off \u2014 he got down on one knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWill you marry me?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I looked at the ring.
Then I looked at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I asked the only question that mattered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIs it me you want \u2014 or the lifestyle I just inherited?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He didn\u2019t answer right away.
That silence told me everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Sometimes love is real \u2014 but sometimes it\u2019s just waiting for the right \u201cassets.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
