They Bet I’d Stay After the Love Test

"On our seventh anniversary, my boyfriend, my best friend, my parents, and our friends decided to “test” how much I loved him. They faked an affair, a pregnancy, and a breakup, then actually placed bets on how long it would take me to cry and come running back.

I didn’t.

Even after I told them I was done, they kept pushing the joke further because they were so sure I’d never really leave.

By the time my boyfriend actually married my best friend just to prove a point, I was already packing my bags and taking a job across the world."
