I woke up crying today not because I miss him but because in my dream he treated me exactly the way he always did. I cried because living with his lies for almost three years was hell.
When I woke up I realized something had changed. My anger is gone. My life is good. His loss is not mine and I genuinely wish him the best.
The one thing I’ll miss today is something so ordinary. I’m on my way to Costco and I’ll miss our trips there together. Even those memories feel different now because so much of what I thought was real turned out to be a lie.
I’m sorry honey that you lost someone who was truly ride-or-die for you. I would have done anything to save us. But you weren’t willing to fight for us the way I was. You weren’t loyal when it mattered.
I’ll miss you at Costco today. A part of me will still wish you could be there and that I could simply say “meet me at 1.” But I know that won’t happen again.
I’ll always love you in some way but I also know my worth now. I have my self-respect my confidence and my life back.

for me, it was the stupid little routines that hurt most, grocery runs, certain streets, random errands. i had to let those memories be sad without letting them convince me i wanted the relationship back.
ou think about those Costco trips, do you miss him, or do you miss who you thought he was when those moments were happening?
i used to wake up from dreams about my ex feeling like i'd been thrown right back into the worst parts, even after i knew i was okay. that first moment of realizing the anger is finally gone feels huge.
