She Just Wanted a Green Card
It was a green card marriage. On our second date, she mentioned that her visa was expiring in six months, and I jokingly proposed to her.
We continued dating, were falling for each other, and that proposal became much more real as the deadline approached. I backed out at the last minute.
You see, we just didn’t agree on one really important thing. Living arrangements and finances were easy. What couldn’t be negotiated was how seriously either of us wanted to take those vows.
I wanted to at least attempt to be a married, monogamous couple. She didn’t really want to commit to that. If she falls deeper in love, great. If not, we’re just roommates.
I miss her, but I think I dodged a bullet. I believe she would have vanished on me at some point. Scrappy_Larue
