An open letter to the man that cheated on me

You aren't the man I fell in love with anymore...

An open letter to the man that cheated on me

Have you ever finished a book? Or finished a TV series? You know the feeling of aimlessness, not knowing what to do now that it's over? You fell in love with the fictional characters that were never real? That how I felt when I first found out you cheated. I fell in love with a man that never existed to begin with. You, yourself, along with anything that came out of your mouth was a lie. I will never talk down on you like you did to me, but just know, you didn't deserve how I treated you. You told being I was a bad girlfriend, but we both know that was a lie so other girls would think of me as a bad person. The truth is, I gave you everything, I helped you take your big step toward success, and this is where I say my goodbye. But before I say goodbye, there are a couple things you must know.


First of all, thank you:

Thank you for showing me how capable I am of loving someone

Thank you for helping me figure out what I really deserve

Thank you for showing me I should love myself more than I love a boy

Thank you for making me happy, regardless of how things ended.

Thank you for making me try new things, making new friends, and seeing different perspectives on life


Secondly, I'll pray for you:

I will pray you find someone you love, and love enough to stay faithful to

I will pray you stay on your path to success and achieve what you know you can achieve


And finally, I am not sorry:

Even though I thank you for so many things and pray for you, I realize it wasn't my fault for your doing. I will not be sorry for how I truly treated you.

I am not sorry for loving you

I am not sorry for the words that came out of my mouth in anger

I am not sorry for being hurt and needing time to heal

I am not sorry that you lost me, because that was the moment I found myself.


So, for the man I fell in love with and loved dearly, whoI thought I'd live the rest of my life with, this is for you. I lived for us for as long as I can remember, and only recently I've learned I need to live for myself. Thank you for setting me free.

This is goodbye to our past. I hope you find what you deserve in life.


With love,

the girl who knows what she deserves

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
