"I just needed some time to get settled, to be able to treat you well when you will be with me, it was for us."
"It was for us, you say but did you try to confront my parents about this, I told them and they were ready but not for long and I had to leave, maybe if you would have confronted them, they may have understood better or we may have come to the middle ground."
"I wanted to meet them once I was in a better position and would have asked for your hand only but you are right, I should have at least confronted them."
"Yes but it has already happened and now focus on moving forward and don't repeat the same mistake again."
