I was dating this guy for a year and a half.

我和一個男人約會一年半了。

We'd had a few conversations about marriage.

One day I realized that all the conversations we'd had about marriage were started by me.

有一天我意識到所有關(guān)于婚姻的談話都是我發(fā)起的。

"Sure," he always replied, "you are my soul mate. I'm so passionate about you. I love youmore than I've ever loved anyone, blah, blah, blah."

“當然，”他總是這么回答，“你是我的靈魂伴侶。我對你著迷不已。我愛你勝過所有人，等等，等等，等等。”

When I'd asked him flat out, "Do you want to marry me?" he'd say, "Yeah, I would like to."

當我直接問他說，“你想跟我結(jié)婚么?”他會說，“是的，我很愿意。”

Then it dawned on me—I had never heard the words "I want to marry you" come out of hismouth.

我突然明白我從未從他嘴里聽過“我想和你結(jié)婚”這句話。

Literally, the day I had this revelation, I dumped him.
