“Yuval and I might break up at any moment.” As Yuval was introduced to me by her friend, I should inform her about our current condition.

Natalie was startled and asked anxiously, “Why? You are in a stable relationship with him at the moment, aren’t you? Why did you talk about breakup all of a sudden?”

 

“I have told him about my family condition. Since I’m planning to get married to him, I mustn’t keep it from him. He will know about it sooner or later too,” I explained to Natalie the reason I told Yuval everything.

If Yuval and I ended up having a breakup because of my family conditions, it would be quite a disappointment. Nevertheless, he had the right to make his choice. It would be inappropriate to drag him down by being secretive to him.

“Anna, why are you so impulsive? You shouldn’t have told him about that now!” Natalie looked at me disapprovingly.

 

“Well, he will get to know about it sooner or later. I can’t hide it from him forever too. If I didn’t choose to tell him earlier, it’s still kind of deceiving too. It’s unfair for him if he only found out after we got married. After all, he has the right to make a decision.” I smiled bitterly.

Natalie was apparently feeling desperate on behalf of me. Even so, it was undeniable that I had a problematic family. There was no way for me to sweep it under the table.

“I didn’t mean that you have to hide it from him forever. Yet, it’s still not the right timing to tell him about it. You should have held it till your relationship with him stabilizes. When your feelings toward each other are nurtured over time and better developed, I’m sure he will be able to accept it better by then.” Natalie let out a deep sigh and shook her head.
