A letter to my future husbands exes:

Thank you for letting my husband go. Thank you for finding his imperfections too much for you to handle. I am grateful you were able to learn from him, but more grateful he learned from you too. I know people come and go, and I know that when this happens you are able to take or leave the things they offer you in this crazy world, so thank you for leaving all of those things for me to take. I do not know what you went through during your relationship with him, nor do I know the cause of all of your fights or disagreements, but I need you to know your fights and disagreements you experienced have turned into love and a handful of many good decisions we are making, together.

Not to be rude, but his empty promises may have sucked for you, but for me they do not. They are promises kept and made for me to cherish. If age was a factor and you are blaming your failed relationship on the both of you being “too young,” and if you have hopes that the different paths you both took to mature to end up back together take a second and think. Also know that God works in mysterious ways, and if you are thinking there is a reason behind your paths crossing one day because the both of you are meant to be, you might be right.

If this happens and I am not standing there with him or he is standing alone allow God to work. If not, walk away. I think it’s the ‘not knowing’ of the past with person you are with that may strike you to feel this way, and this is normal. But the not knowing is what is making me say this to you; whoever you are.
