Description
25 years, already?
You know me, always the elephant to remember. Every bday, anniversary... And there you are, with space in my head.
If you hadn't been so adamant about deciding who I was going to be, in out relationship, it could have so different. If you weren't so adamant that you 'get what you want when You wanted it,' things could have been so different.
But you knew what I'd experienced at 13 and you chose your methods anyway.
In the end? That is what drove me away. You deciding that having me without my consent, was somehow your right, as a husband. Well, it wasn't your right.
I kept this part to myself when I left. Didn't want our friends and family to see you in That kind of light. So I let everyone believe it was for the Other reason. Which turns out, isn't so much the case. I just process any of it quick enough. It took me years to acknowledge or accept the real reasons. I didn't want to see that part. But once I did? A lot fell into place.
I've wished so many times that you had just been understanding and patient. But you couldn't be.
Now you have her. And him. And I'm genuinely happy for you. I just really do with that you'd given Us the opportunity to have any part of that.
Happy 25 years.
