Dear ex, *we will call you ‘S’*

You never had the decency to end our engagement in person, so i wanted to say a few things should you ever stumble across this. It has taken me 5 months to learn to be happy again – after you betrayed me by going back to *H* for a third time which you said you would never do. You cheated on me so many times and i feel a fool that i ever considered giving you another chance. She stalked me with malicious e-mails and yet you went back to her but as you haven’t paid rent for roughly 8 years now i guess the grass always shines greener where there’s the most money for you. I guess you saying she is an alcoholic just couldn’t be true then?

My house may not have been posh or perfect but it was filled with genuine love and family laughter. I have come to discover that loyalty is something you don’t posses and being with you is equivalent to sleeping with one eye open (dodgy phone calls and remember when i caught you with those e-mails to her yet you deny they ever existed, and the lies you told your family so you didn’t look bad?). The only thing you care about is YOU. You discard people like rubbish when you have drained them of their emotional and financial resources and move on to another victim. I actually feel sorry for her now because not only will she have to sleep with one eye open because you will never truely be loyal to anyone, but she is paying your rent, your bills, your food whilst you spend your money on yourself because she is too scared to be alone.

This is my goodbye letter as i don’t want to speak to you again, all you do is bring lies and heartache with you (which is a shame because we were best friends for 5 years before you until you showed your true colours).

From ‘Fi’
