A letter to my firstĀ ārealā love:
Hey you! Yeah, you know who you are.
Itās been like, 3 years or something like that since we broke up...Or more like you deciding to just...disappear randomly then break up with me via phone. Ā To this day, I still am having difficulty being at peace with what happened. Ā What you did was unspeakable and I wish I would have recognized the red flags before I became invested in you. Ā I wish I would have heeded the warning from our mutual friends about you. Ā While someone told me to cherish the good times, there are none. Ā I know thoseĀ āfun timesā were fake and you created false sincerity in order to get the things you wanted. Ā I missed a lot of things and lost a lot of money while we were ātogetherā. Ā I canāt even say we were actually together due to the fact that I know that none of it was real. Ā
I never really knew much about emotional abuse until after we broke up. Ā I realized a lot of the things that happened between us were the signs of emotional abuse. Ā The more I read into it, the more I realized what a toxic situation I actually was in for all that time. Ā I tried to do everything within my power to ensure your happiness and to make sure you knew how amazing of a person you were. Ā Little did I know that you were far from that amazing individual. Ā I found out you were a heartless coward that uses women to get what you want and the minute you get bored, you start getting close to someone else, and maybe to even two or three girls...Gotta have your options, right? Ā
I want you to know that even after all this time, things still suck and you are to blame. Ā While no one is perfect, you are the perfect example of scum. Ā That is the only time where you and perfect will ever go together. Ā You abused me and treated me poorly and I never once deserved that. Ā While I understand breakups happen...People drift apart. Ā Thatās perfectly normal. Ā But why be perfectly normal when you could instead find the most cowardly way to break up with someone. Ā How you handled things shows you have no respect for me as a person. Ā But this is a trend for you...your exes before and after me have fairly similar stories to mine...even down to the things youāve told us. Ā
Seeing you this weekend was honestly one of the harder things Iāve had to do. Seeing you physically makes me ill. Ā I hope that seeing me this weekend reminded you of what you did and how you hurt me. Ā Knowing that you are still around and STILL doing the same thing you did to me and several other girls is sickening. I always thought you were an amazing guy but I was so wrong.
OurĀ ābreak upā made me spiral downwards pretty hard. You made me feel like garbage and convinced me that I was garbage. Ā I stopped caring about myself. Ā I gained a shit ton of weight that I now canāt shake off. Ā Iām battling the most severe depression Iāve had since I was thirteen.
If you would have handled things in a better way, maybe things could have turned out better. Ā Maybe we would have been more civil towards each other. Maybe today would have been easier. Ā I donāt fucking know at this point. Ā Thatās in the past.Ā
For over three years, all Iāve wanted was closure. Ā Your exes helped achieve some of that. Ā My only hope was that I could receive an apology for how I was treated. Ā Not via facebook, not over the phone or text. Ā Be a man and apologize to me to my face. Ā
That is complete wishful thinking, I know, and if you are reading this, I know youāre probably thinking the same thing. Ā I know youāve moved on multiple times since me and I really do feel sorry for the girl you are with now. Ā Hopefully she realizes what sheās getting herself into and doesnāt invest too much into you.
Be a man. Ā Fess up to who you wronged. Ā Maybe weād all have a little more respect for you.
If not, I hope that you constantly remember me and all the other girls youāve hurt since you came into town. Ā I hope that it reminds you what NOT to do and how to treat a woman the way she deserves to be treated. Ā
I wish you all the best and I still pray for you. Ā I pray all the time for the ability to just forgive and forget. Ā You are the one fucker who I just canāt do that with. Ā While I wonāt wish misery on you, I do wish that you learn from your mistakes and become the person I always saw. Ā The person who was super smart and was a talented fencer. Ā The brilliant writer and good friend. You were a lot of things. Ā Not anymore.
Again, I wish you the best and hope that you make the right decision.
Iām still waiting.
