Lookback: 3 years

I dated and built a life with my girlfriend.

I came home early and overheard my girlfriend on the phone. She called our three-year relationship an 'experiment' and said she was just curious to see how it would go.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew she secretly viewed our relationship as an experiment and wasn't as genuinely accepting as she appeared."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be aware that someone's private words can reveal true feelings they have been hiding from you."
