MY PARENTS SAID SHEâS âTOO MUCHâ FOR ME â BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IâM ABOUT TO DOâŚ
The night I brought Mallory home to officially meet my parents, I thought it would be the happiest step before our wedding. Malloryâtall, confident, with platinum blonde hair and a presence that filled the roomâlooked radiant by my side. She isnât the kind of woman who fits societyâs narrow boxes. But to me, sheâs everything: warm, sharp, loyal, and the only person whoâs ever made me feel truly safe.
My mom greeted her with a stiff smile. My dad didnât even meet her eyes. The dinner table felt like a battlefield waiting for the first shot.
And then, the moment Mallory stepped away to take a call, my mom leaned across the table, voice sharp as a knife.
âHoney⌠are you sure you want to marry someone like that? Youâre small. Sheâs⌠too much for you.â
My dad added his piece about âhealthâ and how Iâd âregret it later.â
I just sat there, silent, replaying every memory of Mallory cooking for me when I was stressed, noticing every little thing I liked, holding me when the world felt too heavy.
I didnât defend her. Not then.
But that night, when Mallory asked me why I seemed distant, I realized I canât keep pretending. I have a choice to makeâstay quiet for the sake of family peace, or finally reveal what Iâve been planning all along.
Because thereâs something my parents donât know yet.
And once they hear it, everything will change.
