Why isn’t my engagement like telenovela romance?
i don’t even know why im writing this but im so frustrated. we’ve been engaged for 8 months and every time i imagine my wedding or marriage i think of those wild telenovela moments—dramatic confessions running through airports passionate dancing no hesitation. but my fiancé… he’s sweet but so calm. like i’ll say i miss him and he says 'same, babe' and goes back to his video game. last week i wore that red dress he said he liked and put on perfume and music trying to create a moment and he just smiled said 'looking good' and asked if i wanted to order pizza. i cried after. not because pizza is bad but because it felt so flat? i know telenovelas aren't real but i can't stop feeling like something's wrong with me for wanting that fire. my mom says i'm too dreamy and that Manglik dosha stuff means i should just be grateful for stability. tbh i am grateful but also… empty sometimes. is it stupid to miss a love that doesn't even exist? or am i just with the wrong person
