I’m Melinda, 32, and I’m conflicted about my fiancé Mike. I first noticed his tattoo—a woman’s face—at a nightclub. Mike told me it was a drunken mistake and that he didn’t remember getting it. Despite my doubts, his charm won me over, and we quickly became inseparable.

Mike proposed to me in a beautiful park, and I was overjoyed, though the tattoo lingered in my mind. Two months into our engagement, while shopping at the mall, I saw a woman who looked exactly like the tattoo. I approached her, and she revealed that her name was Amelia and that she had a troubling history with Mike.

Amelia shared that Mike had stalked her after their relationship ended, showing up unannounced and even getting a tattoo of her face. He had threatened her with a restraining order, which was why she was so alarmed to see me. Amelia warned me that Mike’s charming behavior was an act, and I should be cautious.

When I confronted Mike, he initially denied knowing Amelia but later admitted the truth. He expressed deep regret and claimed his feelings for me were genuine, insisting he would remove the tattoo and get therapy. He asked for space to prove his sincerity.

Now, I’m torn between believing his remorse and questioning if his past behavior can truly change. Should I give him another chance or walk away?
