I thought meeting my fiancé’s parents was just another step toward our future, but one disastrous dinner changed everything, leaving me no choice but to call off the wedding.
Richard and I met at work, and he seemed perfect—confident, kind, and responsible. Six months into dating, he proposed, and I said yes, swept up in the romance. But I hadn’t met his parents yet, and when they insisted, I was nervous but hopeful.
Dressed in a classic black dress, I was ready for the big night—unaware that it would unravel our entire relationship.
