I know everything you did. I know you had feelings for him before your marriage ended. I know how fast you got with him after you ended us and his wife died. I know why you blocked me and cut all communication and ties so quickly, so I couldn’t see what you were doing and couldn’t say anything once I knew. I know why you wouldn’t acknowledge me anymore, because of the guilt you’d feel knowing you did what you did.
What I never saw was it coming. I never would have believed that you were capable of behaving in such a cold, calculating manner towards not only me but the kids. I believed that you loved me, that you needed time for yourself to heal, that you didn’t want another relationship or to be with anyone else. I believed in you and I was wrong. I wonder if your dreams talk to you about what you did… Do you look in the mirror and not like what’s looking back at you? Out of all the choices you could have made, you chose the most destructive for everyone involved…You burned bridges and you never looked back. But your choices have put you on a dead end with destiny and having to face your feelings and actions that have caused so much pain. You’ve acted selfishly and hurt people that were very close to you that loved you. I’m beyond disappointed in you and the kids and I deserved much better. Shame on you…You’ve betrayed yourself and everything you ever said to me and yourself for everything you said you were going to do for you. —Disappointed

Control freak: what did YOU do to make the other person leave that way? Do YOU look in the mirror and ask yourself those questions?
Get. Over. It. No one needs to justify their actions to someone that they decided wasn’t the one for them. This sounds like nothing but a whiny and controlling pity party. If you feel so hurt…MOVE ON! That would be the better option, than playing the martyr.
As I read through this section, I can’t believe how bitter all these people commenting are!
How does a person get control freak from what was said above? Don’t we have enough victim blaming/shaming these days? The way I read it, the person was betrayed and is expressing what they learned about the person that did the betraying and how they felt about it. Legitimate bitch to me.
Telling someone to get over something is rude! How about the next time you get burnt by someone, they tell you your feelings about it are invalid and to just get over it and see how you feel about it? How we treat others says a lot about who we are as people….it’s NOT OK to go around hurting people! You should be honest and not mislead people…we all owe that to ourselves and others. How do we know this person isn’t moving on and this is part of their own healing process? Martyr? Try hurt person! Have a little empathy for people…this world needs more understanding and less judgement!
I swear the real bitch section are all the comments that are left after someone posts something! seriously get a life people….
