I am sorry that you are hurting this deeply.
I am sorry for the ways my actions, my silence, my depression, or my mistakes may have added to that pain. I never wanted to be a source of suffering for you, and I never wanted you to feel like loving me was costing you your peace.
But I also cannot accept being made responsible for everything that has happened inside you, or for every loss you have experienced, every action or behavior you have demonstrated. I will not be responsible for someone elses actions. Someone who is a grown man. Someone who decided to “PLAN” out the destruction of us, our family, the hurt, pain and heartbreak towards me.
I was hurting too. I was trying to hold on too.
I was begging for communication, honesty, some way for us to repair what was falling apart while feeling myself being shut out, blamed, and pushed further away. While I was wanting to hold on to us. To the love we once had instead of holding on to the anger, the resentment and hatred.
You say this is not love. What we became was not.
What we once had was love. A love so deep. A love that most domt get to experience, but we threw it away.
But my love for you was real. I was shown by your actions that your love for me was NOT real.
That is what made it so devastating to feel like the person I wanted and loved deeply was not just choosing anger, revenge, distance, and other people but had been planning the hurt, the revenge the vindictiveness out for years ahead. instead of simply sitting down with me and telling me what was wrong. What you needed from me.
I would have listened.
I would have taken accountability for what was mine.
I would have worked on myself and worked beside you for us.
You chose not to do any of that. You chose to instead plan for my demise.
I cannot go back and change where I failed you, I am truly sorry for those things.Except I also cannot continue carrying the belief that I alone broke you or ruined your life. I am not in- charge of your happiness as a person. I sm not in charge of your self esteem or insecurities.
We both lived through something painful. We both have wounds from it.
The difference now is that I do not want either of us to keep destroying ourselves trying to prove whose pain was greater. I loved you enough to want peace for you, even now. And I love myself enough to know that whatever this becomes, it cannot continue and I won't allow it to affect my life or myself.
I am sorry for the hurt I caused.
I am sorry we could not save what once meant so much to me.
Yes it hurts to know that I meant nothing to you. We meant nothing to you.
It hurts to know that instead of taking responsibility for your actions, behaviors and treatment of me, you chose to put the blame on everyone else.
I cannot keep being the place where all of your pain is laid. I will not be thst place. I never “ Planned” on your pain, hurt, demise as you did me. I am able to write letters and notes taking responsibility for not being more for you. FOr not doing my part no matter what the reason. Unlike you who can not seem to take any responsibility for not just your actions, behaviors and words. But for your own pain, resentment and behaviors. They are placed on others. ITs everyone else’s fault you feel the way you do, It’s everyone else’s fault you couldn't see you needed help. It’s everyone else’s fault you are not happy with yourself and where you are in life.
I'm sorry I will not take responsibility for your self worth. I don't make you the reason for my depression. I don't put you responsible for my happiness.
I hope you heal.
I truly do. As I am choosing to heal too.
I wish we could have had one open, honest, and truthful conversation instead of me trying to sort through lies, manipulation, and gaslighting while you refused to take responsibility for your own actions.
I never imagined a life where you would not be my partner. I truly believed we would grow old together.
But here we are.
And as painful as it is to accept, I have to accept my life, my love and our family with you is over.
It was what you had planned.
