“I waited 10 years for my partner to propose.”
What Actually Happened
I found out my partner of 10 years won't propose because he's afraid our children will be autistic, like me and my family. I feel he strung me along for years without being honest about his fears.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known about his reservations about my genetics and having children with me much earlier."
