Thank you for bringing me to my lowest point and for helping me find that strong girl I’d buried under loads of self-hate. I’m stronger in spite of you.
Hey You,
Do you remember the first time I said that to you? You insisted the phrase “hey you” was a subtle way of flirting. Every email you sent started with “hey you” thereafter. I admit, my heart danced every time I read those words or heard you speak them during one of our long conversations.
I loved you before I knew I loved you. When you married someone else, I cried myself to sleep. I was with someone at the time, but it still felt like the worst betrayal. I had a hard time looking at him the next day.
But I had to move on and he seemed like a good choice. He reminded me of you, in small ways. His smile, his laugh, his easy going manner were all reminiscent of the one person I really wanted to be with.

This is amazing thankyou. I lived with a very similar relationship... words can hurt more than fists ♡
My God, what a dreadful human being - and the fact he professed to be a Christian man makes him even more despicable. Good on you for having the courage to get out and self-belief to know you deserve far better. I hope you have peace and happiness in your life now.
Amazing how many monsters hide behind christian respectability
He was definitely a monster.
