I want a divorce

Dear Cig:

It’s been 2 weeks since I walked out and it has given me time to think. 

I want a divorce. 

I now realize that…

You never loved me.  You were just after my money. You were only around when I paid for your time.

My family and friends never liked you.  At first I defended you, because I was so in love – or so I thought.  It’s embarrassing to admit, but my family and friends were right.  You’re no good for me.  In fact, you’re trying to kill me.  I filed for a restraining order and it has been granted.  You are not allowed within 100 feet of me.

You’re unfaithful.  After just a few days I could smell you on others.  I was never special to you, just one more link in your chain, chain, chain of fools.  Anyone pays and you play.  I’m so humiliated.  I thought I was the one.

Every day for the past 6 years I could hardly wait to be with you.  I’d wake up and you would be the first thing on my mind.  But yesterday you weren’t.  And today you weren’t.  Yeah, I still think about you, but not the same way.

So it’s over.  My only regret is that we got together in the first place.  I could have spent the last 6 years with someone good for me, but I spent it with you. All those times I thought you were comforting me, you were really poisoning me.  You made me believe I couldn’t live without you.  But now I know the only way I can live is without you.

And don’t let the screen door hit you on the ass on your way out.

Sincerely,

Your Ex

This is so wonderful - I love it - being 10 days smoke free - I can totally relate.  I feel  like have reconnected with the "me" before I was a smoker.  Congrats on your smoke free - and continue the good work!

So glad I read this, especially today.  I am having one of those "I can't leave the house or I am going to buy a pack" days.  I even forgot it was Valentine's day - thank God my husband of 24 years is so supportive and forgiving!!  You are right - the relationship with the thing I called my best friend is over - what kind of a friend does this to someone!!  Struggling - have to spend all day inside studying as I will be too busy the next few days (good thing).  Perfect post Brian!!
