Now I know it’s not really my place to tell you how much you royally screwed up, but I need to get it off my chest. You just lost one of the best people on this planet. I know there’s backstory and reasoning to every breakup, and I respect the fact that you thought you were doing what’s best for you. I’m just saying I think you’re wrong.
You threw away one of the strongest, most hard-working women you’ll ever know. She gave you her entire heart, and trusted you with it. But you ruined that. Because of you, she will be much more guarded about whom she lets in from now on. While I know you probably didn’t mean for that to happen, but the damage you caused could have been minimized.
She didn’t deserve the way you handled the end of the relationship, and I hope you realize that now. She did nothing but gave you the benefit of the doubt when things began to change, and you took advantage. You strung her along, especially when you were having significant doubts, and that’s the worst you could have done. You say how great she is, and you just weren’t feeling it anymore. While that is a completely valid and okay reason, you should have cut it off right away when you started to feel like that. As painful as you knew it was going to be, you owed it to her to tell her right away. You left her worrying, and praying that things would go back to how they were, but all along you knew it wouldn’t. I hope you never do that to anyone ever again.
I’m well aware that I can’t protect her from heartbreak, but I sure can stand up for her when she’s been wronged. This whole situation has frustrated and disappointed so many others and me more than you’ll ever know. I used to think of you as a stand-up guy, because of how happy you made my friend. If I ever see you, I hope you feel embarrassed. That may sound a bit harsh, but honestly you should be ashamed of yourself for how you treated her during that last part of your relationship. If you would have seen how much she was concerned about what was happening, you would understand where I’m coming from. Not only did she love you, but she also cared for you as much as a best friend. You’re not only missing out on a lover, but also one of the most genuine friends you could ever have in your life.
In the end, I honestly want to thank you- for giving me more time to spend with her, for how happy you made her while you were together, but ultimately, giving her more time to see how simply wonderful she is. I know she will get past this, because she’s better than this. No matter how much she’s hurting right now on the inside, she still continues to be there for anyone who needs it, and gives an overwhelming amount of love to everyone in her life. She continues to go on, and she’s going on without you. All I can say is, good luck finding someone as incredible as my best friend is.
