After their marriage was arranged due to a business agreement between their parents, Jason and Aria had no choice but to get to know each other quickly. A few months in, the couple were expecting their first baby. But now that Lily is seven months old, Aria begins to wonder if Jason is really happy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t supposed to overhear it. But maybe I was meant to.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something about family gatherings that always feels familiar. Warm. Chaotic. Comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our daughter, Lily, was seven months old, and every time we visited Jason\u2019s parents, she was the center of attention. Jason\u2019s mom fussed over her, while his aunts and uncles passed her around, taking turns cooing and doting on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sat on the couch outside, watching them, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s just such a beautiful baby, Aria,\u201d Jason\u2019s aunt said. \u201cLook at those eyes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I smiled at her, wondering how different everything could have been if Jason\u2019s family hadn\u2019t accepted us as we were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason was in the kitchen with his mom, helping prepare dinner and getting everything ready for the grill outside. He always seemed so at ease in these moments, slipping effortlessly into the role of devoted son, loving husband, and doting father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It hadn\u2019t always been that way. At least, not in the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were married young. I mean, I was only 20, and Jason had just turned 21. Our marriage was arranged by our parents in an effort to strengthen a business deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I hated everything about it. I mean, Jason and I were only given two months to get to know each other before the wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t sure if love could grow in such a short amount of time. Especially between two people who were practically strangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we tried.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And day by day, we learned each other\u2019s quirks, built trust, and started creating a life together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know that our relationship is based on our parents, Ari,\u201d Jason said one day when we were getting ice cream together. \u201cBut we\u2019ve both decided that we\u2019re in this for the long haul. Right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight,\u201d I agreed, adding chocolate sauce to my sundae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can be happy, Aria,\u201d he said, picking the cherry off my ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Things moved fast after that. We got married at a vineyard my father owned. And just a few months into our marriage, I found out I was pregnant with Lily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news hit us unexpectedly, and we were both hesitant about keeping our baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you want to do?\u201d he asked me one morning when I sat and looked at the pregnancy test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKeep her. I think the baby is a girl,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just like that, it was decided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither of us were prepared for it, but Jason stepped up in ways I hadn\u2019t expected. After the business deal went through, my parents moved to a different state, leaving me to fend for myself in my marriage with a baby on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Jason spoke to his parents and decided to take a year off work from his job at his father\u2019s company to support me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that moment on, he was by my side, through every bout of morning sickness, every doctor\u2019s appointment, and every sleepless night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I leaned into his support, but at the back of my mind, I wondered if he ever felt the weight of it all. Jason was many things, but emotional wasn\u2019t one of them. He rarely talked about his feelings and what this new life together meant to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But today, as the noise of family surrounded me, I couldn\u2019t help but think about how far we\u2019d come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stood up and quietly headed down the hallway, planning to check on Jason and Salma, my mother-in-law, in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But halfway there, I heard his voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I paused, not wanting to interrupt. He was speaking in a tone that I\u2019d never quite heard before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do without Aria and Lily, Mom,\u201d Jason said softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I froze in place, my heart pounding. I hadn\u2019t meant to eavesdrop, but something about the way Jason said my name held me captive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His voice lowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s changed my life, Mom. Like before, I was just interested in parties and chilling on the boat. But now? I wake up every day and think about how lucky I am. I mean, I never really imagined this kind of happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stayed hidden just around the corner from the kitchen arch, straining to hear every word. My mind raced as I tried to process the depth of his emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason wasn\u2019t the kind of guy to wear his heart on his sleeve like this. And if I\u2019m being really honest, I had been wondering whether our little life was good enough for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had gone from strangers to married to being parents in less than a year. Everything was rushed. So, I wondered whether his feelings for me were true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now? Hearing this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t so insecure anymore.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be half the man I am without her,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There was a pause, and all I could hear was something being chopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s beautiful, honey,\u201d Salma said. \u201cI\u2019m glad that you feel this way. You know, when Dad and Aria\u2019s father came to their arrangement, I wasn\u2019t sure about it because of your age. I thought that we were setting you two up for divorce or failure in general. But you guys hit it off and made something wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t tell Ari enough, but she\u2019s everything to me. And Lily, my God! That little girl has taught me more about love than I ever thought possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the love of a parent, my boy,\u201d Salma said. \u201cAnd the feeling that comes with being in love and at peace with your relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tears filled my eyes, and I pressed my hand to my mouth, trying to hold back the sob that threatened to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason had no idea that I was there, listening to the most beautiful confession I had ever heard. I wanted to run into the kitchen, wrap my arms around him, and tell him how much those words meant to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But I stayed rooted to my spot, overwhelmed by the weight of what I\u2019d just overheard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, after a few minutes, I walked outside to join the rest of the family as they played with Lily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sat down, pretending everything was normal. I mean, it was, but it was also so much better. The world seemed brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"People<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had been worrying about our future and whether we even had a future lined up. We were young, I knew that. But a part of me always felt like we were doomed from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I had always known that he cared, but I didn\u2019t know he felt this deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How had I missed that?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was I too caught up in being Lily\u2019s mother? Had I been ignoring Jason?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That evening, after we returned home and put Lily to bed, the silence between us felt heavy. Jason sat beside me on the couch, his hand resting on my knee as he ate some of the leftover dessert we brought home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve been quiet,\u201d he said, his voice soft. \u201cIs something on your mind?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bit my lip, unsure of how to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to tell him everything I\u2019d heard, but I didn\u2019t know how Jason would react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I took a deep breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI overheard you today\u2026 when you were in the kitchen with your mom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason\u2019s eyes widened for a moment before he glanced down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat did you hear?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou said\u2026 you said that you wouldn\u2019t be the man you are without me. You said I\u2019m everything to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou heard that?\u201d he gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was coming to see if you guys needed help. Lily was with the rest of the family. Jason, I had no idea. I mean, I knew you loved me, but hearing you say that\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAria, I meant it,\u201d he said quietly. \u201cI don\u2019t say it enough. I know that. But it\u2019s true, Aria. You\u2019ve made me a better person, and I can\u2019t imagine my life without you. Without Lily. You two are everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, I wanted to show Jason how much his words meant to me. I spent most of the day cooking his favorite meal, and I decorated the house with candles and notes detailing all the things I loved about him written down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Jason walked in that evening, his face lit up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Candles<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s all this?\u201d he asked, smiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis,\u201d I said. \u201cIs my way of saying thank you. For everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We put Lily to bed and had our romantic dinner. And in that moment, I realized that arranged marriage or not, we were happy. And we were in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that we had made it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Fianc\u00e9 Humiliated Me in His Wedding Vows \u2014 He Regretted It Later<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Emily walks down the aisle, she feels as though she is finally living her wedding dream. The dress is perfect just like the venue, music, and her groom. Until it\u2019s time for the vows when Jason completely humiliates her in front of everyone. But later, he gets a taste of his own medicine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the day that I had been waiting for. After months of wedding planning and dieting to fit into my dream dress. This was the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do you feel?\u201d my father asked me, kissing my forehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHappy,\u201d I said simply. \u201cI\u2019ve been dreaming of this moment for years now, Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walked down the aisle to soft music that I had chosen months ago. The guitarist perched on a wooden stool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
