People love to say, “Don’t test the ones you love.”
Fine.
But here’s the corporate-grade truth: trust is a risk decision, and risk needs evidence.
I wasn’t testing love.
I was validating safety.
And I learned the hardest rule of all:
Someone can look perfect and still be dangerous the moment they lose control of the narrative.
If you ever feel that cold seed of doubt in your chest, don’t bury it under wedding plans.
Listen to it.
