3 years into dating, my [32F] partner [35M] turned down my proposal, then later wanted to propose and chose not to cause of how my mental health was at the time. Feels like a break of trust but I don’t know.
He turned down my proposal saying it was cause I needed to be better with my money, which I understood at the end of the day but was still hurtful. This came after 3 years of dating where things were going really well and I was sure this was my person as I felt the same thing from him.
Awhile later, we’re on a month-long overseas trip and I was going through a period of depression from intense homesickness and other stuff I was dealing with at the time. He had wanted to propose during this trip but didn’t cause of how I was doing. This is something I didn’t know until years later when he mentioned it in passing. There was no other serious talk of marriage or any other almost proposals after that as far as I know.
Sharing this for no reason other than out of curiosity to see what you think of this. Overall, I’m still hurt by the proposal rejection (esp the reason for it) and how the almost proposal didn’t happen cause I was going through a hard time + on top of that getting no indication till a passing mention that that happened.
TLDR: 3 years into dating, my \[32F\] partner \[35M\] turned down my proposal, then later wanted to propose and chose not to cause of how my mental health was at the time. Feels like a break of trust but I don’t know.
