I spent years watching my friends fall in love while I stayed single, joking about ending up a crazy cat lady (without even owning a cat). When Patrick noticed me at a bar two years ago, I thought, finally, my turn.\n

But over time, I ignored the little things\u2014the lack of effort, his refusal to move out of his mom\u2019s, and his avoidance of serious discussions about the future. \u201cWe don\u2019t know each other well enough yet,\u201d he\u2019d say.\n

Then my aunt passed away, leaving me a fully paid-off apartment. When I told Patrick, he showed up at my door that same night with flowers, wine, and a ring. It didn\u2019t add up\u2014just two weeks before, he\u2019d said rings were too expensive.\n

Despite the red flags, I said yes. But I had one condition: he would never enter the apartment before me. He agreed without hesitation.\n

For weeks, he played the perfect fianc\u00e9, talking about our future, even suggesting things like a flat-screen TV or a new gaming chair. But deep down, I knew he was just waiting for the day the apartment would be officially mine.\n

That day came. I came home early from work to find Patrick and his mom measuring the living room. \u201cI think sheer curtains would brighten up the space,\u201d she said. It was then that I knew\u2014they planned to move in together, with or without my consent.\n

I confronted them, and Patrick tried to defend himself. But I wasn\u2019t fooled. I knew the truth\u2014he only proposed because he wanted the apartment.\n

Patrick snapped, accusing me of being ungrateful. But I wasn\u2019t done. I revealed I\u2019d sold the apartment. The money was already in my account.\n

Patrick lost it. I walked out, grinning, knowing I\u2019d made the right decision.\n

Within a week, I was living in a new city, in my own place, without the manipulative boyfriend or his freeloading mom. Patrick tried to reach out, but I blocked him. And me? I was finally living life on my own terms, happier than ever.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
