The LetterEntry #667723
I decided to respond back to the letter that ended my relationship. I felt that it was important for her to know how I felt about her leaving the way she did. I don't think I'll ever hear a response from her, but I feel a lot better after writing it. The name has not been changed to protect the innocent...

Dear Donna,
I know in your last letter that you took the cowards way out and promised not to respond to me ever again. That is all well and good but since I didn't make that agreement with you, nor am I a coward when it comes to my feelings, I'm taking the time to write you this letter.

First of all, I don't hate you. Although it didn't take a whole lot of time for me to fall in love with you, it did take awhile for me to say those three words. One of the reasons for me not telling how I felt about you was because I knew that I didn't have the only key to your heart. I appreciate you telling me when we first started dating that you were a casual dater. Competition is sometimes healthy, but I also know that best athlete or team doesn't always win. I may not have been the best man for you but you took that assessment away from me with the way you just up and left.

Another thing I want you to know is I wasn't as gullible as you might've thought I was. I knew when you stopped calling me on weekends that you weren't always too busy to call me. I also knew that there was no way for you to have a migraine headache every weekend. Then you would only call me on weekdays when you were away from your apartment, which told me that you were probably entertaining or had a roommate. My suspicions were confirmed, at least in my mind, by two things... One was a comment you made to a “neighbor” where you mentioned the names of your grandkids and their being in the hospital. In the times I been to your apartment in Columbus, you didn't speak to your neighbors, so when you moved and I heard you talking to your neighbors at the new house I knew that you had to have moved to a location where someone was introducing you to their friends and neighbors. The second reason I knew you had a roommate or at least someone who made a lot of overnight visits was the way you broke up with me a couple of days before I came down to be with you. I should be mad about the over 300 dollars I had invested in NASCAR and bus tickets, but I chalk it up as a learning experience, but then again it is only money.

Unfortunately, I can't just say that you were just a woman because you were something very special to me. I guess that was my fault for allowing myself to fall for you. Your “Dear John” letter showed to me how much I was used by you. I would love for you to deny it but you supposedly always tell the truth and you know that I am right. When you would have a need for money I did my best to send you as much as I could. Sure I would always come far below the amount that you needed but I never told you “no”. I could hear the disappointment in your voice (and comments) before you would say “Thanks”. I bought all of the Christmas presents you wanted me to so you wouldn't look like an uncaring Nana. But the thing that pisses me off the most was you using the phone I sent you to find another person to be with. Sure the phone wasn't to your liking, but here again, it was the best I could do and it was only supposed to be used for you to keep in touch with me and your daughter.

You have taught me a lot about women and relationships, but I know that I'll forget everything I know the next time I find someone to put my heart in jeopardy for. I wish I could say that I hope you have found your happiness with this other person, but I can't because I felt like I was the perfect person for you. So here is some sympathy for your loss.


Of course I could've added a lot more of my feelings in this letter but, why bother?
