I broke off my engagement right after meeting his family. He proposed, and soon after, we went to visit his parents.
His mom set a nice table, we had a pleasant dinner, chatted, everything seemed fine.
The next day, though, I found out she wasn’t sure I’d make a good wife – all because I didn’t offer to help clear the table after we ate.
That, apparently, was a huge sign of disrespect.
