A Love Triangle: My Fiancé's Confession

"I've been with my partner, Ryan for the past nine years. We met in our freshman year of college and went on only three dates before we decided to make things official.

Ryan proposed to me in July of the last year after getting my parents' blessing and did so with all of my family present.

Ryan gets along with all of my family, but he's particularly close with my little sister, Aru who adores him since my partner has similar interests as her.

They go out on shopping trips, have spa days, trips to the movie theater, and museum, and Ryan never fails to spoil Aru by getting her limited edition versions of her favorite books and Gifts.

Ryan has joked in the past that Aru is his favorite out of everyone in my family and that she was one of the best perks that come with being with me.

Two weeks ago, Ryan had his bachelor trip in Miami. Ever since then, he had been acting off. Just plain distant, distracted, and lost in his thoughts. I was scared that he got cold feet but didn't want to push him into talking about it.

The other night, Ryan sat me down and told me that he was going to tell me something deeply important and possibly relationship-ruining.

He said that he would accept any decision made in terms of what he was about to tell me, which included leaving him.

Essentially, Ryan realized during his bachelor trip that he's been in love with Aru for a while now due to how much he missed her and wanted to see her. It far outweighed how much he missed me, and he even had multiple dreams about her during the trip. The implication being that they were wet dreams.

Ryan thinks that it started around when Aru was sixteen and tried to reassure me that he didn't have those kinds of feelings for anyone else around Aru's age, that they were only for her.

He said that while he is in love with Aru, his love for me is stronger and he hoped that if I decided to stay with him, we'd be able to get past this with time.

At the end of it all, I just told him it was best that he stayed at his mom's place for the time being while I thought things over. To his credit, Ryan stayed true to what he said and just packed a bag before leaving.

I got a call in the morning from his mom, demanding to know why I kicked her

I haven't told Aru or my mom and dad what happened yet. I don't even know how to break this to them.

As for Ryan, I know the logical and right thing to do is break up with him, but I still love him to death and don't know how to go on without him being in my life."
