Hardest Truth

There was a person who was dating another person for several years. The first person was in love with the second person and wanted to marry them, but they were worried that they didn't have enough money to provide for the second person. The first person was afraid that if they got married without being financially stable, the second person would suffer and be unhappy. The first person didn't want to put the second person through that, so they decided not to propose until they were in a better financial situation.
