Patrick and I had been in a relationship for five years. On the day of our fifth anniversary, which coincided with my birthday, he finally consented to travel overseas with me.
But when it was time to leave, he was nowhere to be found. I phoned him, and he explained that his father's chronic condition had worsened, preventing him from joining me. This left me, someone who had never succeeded in any English tests, to travel alone.
Later that day, I noticed a picture shared by his longtime friend Samuel, showing Patrick busy cooking in the kitchen.
[Real love means he'd do anything for me.]
I knew my friends were anticipating my reaction.
I responded directly to the post: [Why don't you two tie the knot?]

My Boyfriend's Kitchen Affair Exposed

"Please, Vallerie, I know you're upset. I promise to be faithful to you from this moment on."


"Patrick, I used to imagine a wonderful life together, but you've ruined that dream. Our baby is no more because you didn't care. I wanted to forgive you, but..."


"Vallerie, I understand my mistakes. Just give me another opportunity..."


I rose to my feet. "Patrick, it's time to let go. For both of us. I'm departing. I hope you find happiness."


I exited the room, and as I reached the lobby, I glanced back. Patrick was at the window, looking forlorn.


That wasn't my concern anymore. I was ready to embark on my own journey, and it would be magnificent.
