I talked to a friend who understands and knows the story. She started telling me how fucked up it was that on that weekend you wanted to sleep in a bed with someone else and have me there.
I never told you, but that fucking broke me. I never realized how much until I broke down in her car. I haven’t sobbed like that in a while.
Then when I found out you slept together and joked that I would be jealous was a knife straight to my heart.
Then your friend told me you were dating after I explicitly said I didn’t want to know. That was my head to the concrete.
I know you don’t care. I know you think I’m a sad excuse for a human being because I have feelings I can’t control. You treated me like a puppet that you played with until you got bored and threw me away.
I should hate you for this. For the added trust issues. For the constant paranoia. For the times I have to hide my face and close my eyes when I’m driven past the courthouse. For all the hurt I’ve continued to feel. But I can’t.
Nobody understand why I can’t just say, “Wow that was fucked up and I deserve better.” I don’t believe that. I wanted that life we had planned and I thought that was my chance to beat this suicidal mind. I can’t let that idea go and every day it kills me again.
