An Open Letter To The Girl Who Replaced Me,
I’ve called you a lot of different things these past couple of months, and I’m here to say I’m sorry.
At first I hated you.
I stalked you on social media and tried to pick out every little flaw that I could find in you, even if I was just making it up to make myself feel better. I would convince friends and family to talk bad about you with me, just to make myself feel better. I called you names, and told everyone you were ugly, just to make myself feel better.
I am here to say I am sorry for that.
Secondly, I was jealous of you.
I hated the thought of him calling somebody else “babe” and him telling somebody else how happy he was to find you. I couldn’t get the thought out of my mind that my three-year long relationship came to end because of you. But it took a little maturity to realize that you had nothing to do with it. The boy that you are now with, the boy that was “mine” for three years is gone because of issues we had, not because of you. I put all the blame on you, and never once blamed myself.
And once again, I am here to say I am sorry for that.
Now, if you can forgive me for all the jealousy and horrible things I may have said behind your back, take this one chance to listen to me. Listen to me when I tell you that you have the most amazing man in front of you.
Cuddle him extra hard because he loves to be held.
Notice when he is sad or upset because he will not admit it himself.
Laugh at him when he is getting frustrated with you for being a backseat driver.
Do not refuse to dance around the kitchen with him when “your song” comes on. Don’t bug him with the social media, because he hates it.
Be happy when he says he would rather stay in with you then go out, BUT celebrate hard the nights he does want to go out, because they don’t come often.
Most importantly do not get jealous of other girls, and please,
If all else fails, TRUST him.
I blamed him for talking to “her”, or hanging out with “her” when the only girl in his eyes was me. Now the only girl in his eyes is YOU, which is not easy to admit, but trust me when I tell you that. Whether you can forgive me for talking bad about “the girl who replaced me” or not, I am here to tell you that you truly have the most amazing man in your arms, and I am trusting that you will treat him right. Make him smile, hold him when he cries, and squeeze him extra tight when he is stressed out over his homework that he has to have perfected.
Also, please don’t be intimidated by me. Don’t worry about all of the pictures we have together from the past, because as hard as it is for me to admit, they are just that, pictures from the past. We don’t have to hate each other, or resent each other, because fortunately we have something very amazing in common.
Lastly, Don’t let it surprise you how quickly you will fall for him, and don’t stop yourself from falling. He will be there to catch you.
Love,
His “ex”
