Dear Ex Best Friend,
I can't believe I'm having to write this, we were supposed to be friends forever, but I guess when a boyfriend comes into the picture, it changes everything. You and I were more than just best friends, we were sisters- an unbreakable bond, or so I thought. We did everything together and told each other everything, You were my person, you were the one person I counted on for everything, but over the past few years, you've changed. I've been wanting to end it with you for the longest, because as the years went on, whether or not you believe me, your attitude towards me totally sucked, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, because I didn't want to hurt you.
You were constantly yelling and screaming at me for no real reason at all, especially when you were dating your first boyfriend, and you'd be so cruel and hateful. You'd reduce me to tears, and that's NOT something a true friend would do. You'd get mad at me if I didn't understand something you were trying to tell me and politely asked you to explain it differently, not understanding things sometimes is no fault of my own, and if you were really my true friend, you would've understood that. Me having a disability also put a strain on our friendship, there were times when you made me feel bad just because I can't do things you can. Every time I'd get into a relationship, I felt like you'd give me fake support, because every time it wouldn't work out, you'd tell me I wasn't mature enough for a relationship.It may have been true, but if you were really my best friend, you wouldn't have said that.
After my grandmother passed away, I began to feel like you were jealous, because when I'd tell you about trips I'd be going on, because, at the time, I told you everything, you'd make comments which indicated to me your jealousy, you were only jealous because you hardly ever get to go on vacation, and when I got to go, you couldn't stand it. Need I remind you what you said when I told you I was going to Disney?
You've definitely changed, you're NOT the person I met so many years ago. You think I'm being mean to you when actually I'm being truthful. Some people just can't handle the truth and I firmly believe that's where our problems arose.
Your current boyfriend has changed you for the worse, and no, I'm NOT jealous. I miss the person you were before you got with him. You shouldn't have to change just to get a guy to like you, if he's the one, he'll like you for you. I hope one day you'll wake up and realize what you're missing out.
It's your loss, not mine.
Your Ex Best Friend
