About

I've been dating my girlfriend for six years. She used to work at one of the top three accounting firms and earned a high salary. She's a kind person who supported me until I got a job and always sacrificed herself for me. She quit her job last year. She developed a hearing impairment after being hit by a drunk driver... We struggled at first. It was hard for both of us, and she tried to break up with me three times. She cried, saying she was sorry for making me suffer. I didn't want to break up. We went to learn sign language together. After losing her hearing, her speech became slurred too. But that was okay. She couldn't find a new job. The world was more unfair to people than I thought. Since she felt guilty all the time, a few months ago, I bought a small apartment in Suwon using the money I saved for a year and some support from my parents. I told her to move in, since she had become tearful and stopped meeting people after her disability. Living together for a month has been happy. She cooks for me every day and hugs me more warmly than my own mother when I come home. Yesterday, I joked that it was actually a relief she was staying home instead of earning money, and she finally laughed. In the past, she would have cried or gotten angry, so I'm glad she can laugh now. My parents adore her too. My older brother is grateful to her for making a wreck like me get my act together. I'm proposing tomorrow. I truly love her. It's been over 2,000 days, and I still love her. My bride-to-be refused at first. She has become so small and insecure. When I said I was going to propose yesterday, many people around me tried to stop me, saying living together and marriage are different... My head was a mess, so I said I'd think about it more, but when I came out from showering after dinner, she wasn't home. I panicked, wondering if something happened or if she left, but she came back a moment later. She said she felt bad because I kept saying how hot it was, so she went out to buy ice cream. In that moment, I realized I couldn't live without this woman and wondered why I was even hesitating, so I just told her let's get married. We both cried a lot before falling asleep. Tomorrow, we're having dinner with both sets of parents. We plan to register the marriage first and hold the ceremony next year.
