Story 3:
I proposed to my girlfriend Becky at a family gathering. She stared at the ring, frowned, and yelled, “Is this all I’m worth?” I was only 21 and couldn’t afford anything expensive. I walked away and blocked her everywhere.
Two months later, her father called in tears:
“Son, we need your help! Please come see Becky!”
Before I could respond, he added,
“After you two broke up, she became so depressed that she got involved with a much older man. Now she wants to marry him! He’s 18 years older. You’re the only one who can stop her from making this reckless decision.”
I hung up. I had moved on. They once treated me like I wasn’t good enough — and now karma had spoken.
