The answer is Yes. I stole Mary's heart and I had to break it because it was a necessary thing to do.
I traveled home from school, and while I was at home, I heard a knock on our door, I opened and what I saw kept me stunned. It was Mary, a light-skinned and pretty girl, with a very good height.
I asked who she came to see, and she mentioned my Sister, I ushered her in, offered her a sit, and called my sister.
Mary was very young when I met her, she was very calm, she hardly talked. I stared at her throughout as she was talking with my sister. Every time our eyes met, she moved away immediately, she seemed so shy and tender. A perfect beauty.
I so much admitted her calmness, and reserved nature, and had to, come into their discussion. I forced words out of her so we could start talking, somehow we got along, and I invited her to come back again. And that was how it started.
We dated for two years and Mary was still the same Mary I met, so calm and reserved. I loved them wholeheartedly, even my parents liked her so much. Just the kind of girl I can marry.
To my amusement, Mary began to change, I know her to be a hustler, but not a rough one. I started noticing irrational behaviors and movements and would always advise her to stop, but she never listened.
I came out frankly that I'm not comfortable with the relationship but she'll always tell me she loves me and she's not doing anything wrong.
So many times I got so uncomfortable and told her I wanted to quit, she'd beg and almost cry her eyes out. She'll promise to change and after a short while, she start again.
I got so tired of the situation even though I loved her so much and I endured hoping she'll come to her senses someday. But Mary never stopped.
Though Mary would go the extra mile to give me the whole world, how she gets those things she gives me is not pleasant to me. You don't have to get dirty and become wayward to please your partner all in the name of love. That's not the right thing.
So, I heard no choice at some point but to painfully quit the relationship, she begged, she cried but I remained adamant. I loved her so much but had to break her heart because I believe spending the future with her may eventually lead to separation which is what I do not want.
