The day before our engagement, my fiancé, Shaun Winters, promised he'd come with me to pick out my wedding dress. I waited until the bridal shop closed. He never showed up. On my way home, I finally got a message from him. It read: [Elaine said she didn't have any pajamas to wear, so I'm taking her out to buy some tonight.] I called him, but Elaine Frost, his secretary, picked up instead. She said, "Shaun's in the shower. Do you want me to tell him something?" We'd been together for four years. Every time something important happened in my life, Elaine always had some small problem for Shaun to fix. And every single time, he dropped everything and rushed to her side, leaving me alone. Even on a day like this, he didn't hesitate. He chose her. Emotionally drained, I answered in a calm voice, "Tell him the wedding's off. I'm not marrying him."
