I have some things I'd like to say.

An Open Letter To My Boyfriend's Ex

To My Boyfriend's Ex,

I know that this is something that may reach you, or it may not. We have mutual friends on social media, so there is a chance that this gets back to you, and honestly I hope it does.

First, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for messing up, thank you for leading him to me.

Secondly, I need to say screw you. Screw you for what you did to him. The list of things he has told me is long and I feel a pain in my stomach and a lump in my throat whenever he tells me of the things you did and said to him. You are a disgusting human being.

I don’t know about your relationship with my boyfriend, all I know is what he has told me and unfortunately for you he is the most honest man I’ve ever known, so I believe him. I don’t know your side of the story and I don’t care to. He has so many of your old conversations saved and wow, I didn’t think you even had the capability to be such an evil human-being. There are some things I need to get off of my chest, regardless of how hard they may be for you to hear or how sick I feel saying them.

So I have a couple question for you, ex girlfriend. How could you let someone so wonderful go? Better yet, how could you treat someone so horrible while girls like myself stayed up countless nights crying, begging God to sent me someone just like him? I begged and pleaded for him to come into my life years before he actually did. How could you do him so wrong? Did you honestly not see the man that was in front of you? He has the biggest heart of anyone you’ll ever meet. He is the best thing that ever happened to you and no one is ever going to treat you half as good as he did, never forget that.

He is the guy of your dreams. He is the man that movies are made about. He is the guy who makes you feel like you are living in a fairytale. He constantly reminds you of how beautiful he thinks you are (while YOU told him he was ugly almost every day for 5 god-damn years). He tells you he loves you over 100 times a day, literally.

He is the guy who will go out of his way to make sure you know how much he appreciates you. He will surprise you with flowers just because. He will stay up until 12:01AM to wish you a happy anniversary (because if he didn’t send it within the minute you wouldn’t talk to him for days).

So why wasn’t he good enough? I will never understand, because I know for a fact that he is more than enough, much more. How could you lie and cheat on him? What made you think that was okay?

You can play the nice girl in your big Barbie home, with your Barbie family and pretend to have the perfect Barbie life, fool whoever is stupid enough to believe your bullshit. But don’t forget to include the following when you speak about my man

You forced him to change schools, you threatened to make him sleep on the hotel room floor in Myrtle Beach if he didn't go on the Slingshot with you, forced him to go on the Ferris wheel with you despite you knowing he has a fear of heights… But you didn’t really give a shit about how he felt, right? When he didn’t go with you on your family cruise you cheated on him. Was that your way of getting back at him for not doing yet another thing he hates for someone who treated him like shit? You wouldn’t allow him at dances, but when he went with you to homecoming you left him to dance with other guys the entire night. You and other members of your family spoke badly about his mother and wouldn’t allow her at hockey games that you couldn’t attend, her own son... I just don’t understand how anyone could ever be so hateful and plain mean to the nicest man I’ve ever met.

You changed him, you broke his confidence, but I promise you he doesn’t think so little of himself anymore. He doesn’t think he is ugly, because let's get real Hun, you’re the troll here. He could probably be a model, he is literally what dreams are made of. Did you tell him he was ugly so he would begin to think he would never be able to get better? You were so wrong, if so. And again, screw you for ever putting that idea in his head.

But don’t feel too good about yourself, you cold-hearted bitch. He isn’t broken anymore, you’re welcome. And again I thank you. Thank you for letting such an amazing man walk out of your life and into mine. Though he and I haven’t been together long, he looks at me like I put the stars in his sky. Our future is so bright, he is the man of my dreams though I’ve known that since Mr. Wilsons advisory sophomore year. I had to wait 5+ years for you to screw it up enough times for him to finally remove you from his life permanently.

So, ex, screw you for what you did to him. But thank you for letting him go, thank you for treating him so badly so he could appreciate me that much more.

I am forever grateful for your mistakes.

Xoxo,

His forever

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.
