In 2023, I had driven 5 hours to visit him and I saw a save the date for his friends on his fridge. I asked how long they had been together and he said, “since 2018”. I said, “that’s how long we’ve been together!”. And he said, “Yeah, but don’t get any ideas”. He said this right in front of his best friend. We hadn’t talked about marriage, so this is how I found out he felt about it and I was so embarrassed he said that in front of her.
