Moving On

Dear [His Name], I hope this letter finds you in a moment of clarity, as it's time I share what’s been weighing heavily on my heart. I have stood by your side through the darkest of times, including when you were behind bars. I did it out of love, commitment, and hope for our future together. But over time, it has become overwhelmingly clear that what we once had has faded into something painful and unhealthy. In the beginning, what we shared was beautiful, something I cherished deeply. I often wish we could go back to those days, but the reality we face now is far different. I have come to understand that I cannot keep forgiving someone who continuously disrespects me, plays the victim, and makes me feel insignificant. I never deserved to be treated this way, especially by someone I cared so deeply about. Throughout our relationship, I showed up for you in ways that many wouldn’t. I gave my all, hoping that as long as I treated you right, we could overcome anything. But the painful truth is that you didn't care that you hurt me, and you ignored the profound impact your actions had on my heart. Love isn't supposed to make someone feel this way. This breaks my heart more than words can express. I never wanted this to end; I held on so tightly because I was deeply in love with you. But now, I realize that for my own well-being, I have to let go. The problem has never been that I don’t love you, because I do—I love you deeply. The problem is that your actions have shown time and time again that you do not love me, at least not in a way that is respectful and nurturing. Leaving you behind is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, but I need to choose peace and self-respect over a love that only brings pain. I wish you all the best and hope that one day you find a way to love someone the way they deserve. Thank you for the memories, despite the pain. Goodbye. Sincerely, [Your Name]
