To a princess…

LTME postDear “Princess,”

First of all, I’d like to thank you for treating me just like your nickname – a princess. The nickname was always a joke between our friends, but you really lived up to the name starting a year into the relationship.

You felt entitled enough to go sleep with your “friend,” the biggest partier we both knew. You begged for my forgiveness, but did you really think that would fix the trust? One year of friendship and six months of falling in love was gone the moment you forgot about me for your selfish sexual needs.

That was two years ago, and thinking about it still hurts just as much to this day. What did she have that I didn’t? A handle of vodka and an open vagina while I was away? Knowing her reputation for ruining relationships, I wouldn’t be surprised if she initiated the act just like you claimed she did… but you followed through and that doesn’t make it any better.

Breaking up with you was not easy for me and it didn’t get any easier being away from you, but getting back together eight months later was harder. It felt right after more months had passed since we broke up, but your entitled, “princess” ways hadn’t stopped like I believed they would. This time, infidelity didn’t occur again…until after you hit me the first time. I felt incredibly stupid for sticking around that long while I was obviously unhappy, but I was hanging onto the person I had known before all the hurt.

Now it’s almost a year after we split for good, I am no longer depressed. Throughout the shit you put me through, I’ve learned who my true friends are and I’m incredibly thankful to have so many wonderful people in my life. I have a clean slate, a happier life and I’ve began to regain the confidence that was stripped away by our relationship.

I’ve blocked every form of communication with you. If I see you, you’re just another face in the crowd, which was hard to accept for a while. It’s crazy to see how someone you fell in love with can become a stranger so quickly after creating a history together. Despite all the hurt you caused, I admit I still love the person you were during the first year of the relationship. I hope you get your life together and I hope you learn to respect the people you love.

And I hope you’ll treat the next woman you love like the princess you are.

Sincerely,

Bitter, heartbroken and better without you
