The narrator reflects on a significant moment in their relationship when they were unexpectedly upset after their partner left for a trip shortly after expressing love. Initially, they felt annoyed and puzzled about their partner's ability to say 'I love you' and then leave. However, during a long run, they realized this was the first time they genuinely cared about those words. This moment of realization marks a turning point in their emotional engagement, culminating in their upcoming marriage later this year.
He had said 'I love you' and I'd been told that before by other people. But then he left for a week-long trip to visit his aunt.
By day five or six I was weirdly livid. How does this guy say 'I love you' and just leave?!
I went on a 15-mile run that day and at my halfway point realized it was the first time I actually cared that someone said, 'I love you.'
We are getting married later this year.
