Letter To The Homewrecker

I wanted to write to you and tell you how I feel.

I know you probably don't care, judging from your actions thus far, but this is important to me as part of my healing.

I am very disappointed in you although I do not know you. For someone who has been on the receiving end of a cheating spouse you have shown little regard for my marriage. Do not pretend you were not aware of the consequences of your actions early on in your acquaintance with my loved one. Do not pretend you didn't know what you were doing.

You can try to stretch the moral boundaries to justify your actions. But the truth will not change. You played a huge part in causing a great schism between me and her, and destroying the marriage and life we built together for nine years. I am not saying she is not equally to blame. I do not make excuses for her. But I also know the part you played.

It is not my place to forgive you. You will have to face the Creator in the end for the sins you have committed against me and the love she and I built.

You think you know her but you don't. This is the problem with women like you. You have no idea what you are getting into. You preyed on her weakness and think you can actually make things better for her. You have no idea what you are dealing with.

Let me tell you. She and I have a bond that is stronger than anything you have with her now. You know that. But what you don't know is that you have not even come close to seeing the real her. The side of her that is capable of inflicting deep hurt on the one she loves most. She is a broken bird who is in deep denial about the extent of her injuries. Her wounds run so deep even I cannot see their sources. Neither can she.

I know why she gravitates towards you. A lot of it has to do with the fact that you constantly keep reaching out to her. And you are new and with you she can still conceal the dark side of her. She may have told you how she treated me, but I know she didn't tell you everything. She didn't tell you that she has spoken loving words to me and expressed her deep love for me since we have separated. She didn't tell you that she and I have been intimate with one another as recently as three days ago.

There is a lot she didn't tell you and perhaps never will.

But you refuse to see. In your own greed and selfishness, you have chosen to wrench her from her life, this one, the one that suits her better and that she herself has spent time and effort building. You leave a trail of tasteless cookie crumbs, in the hopes she will follow and fall into your cauldron of wicked treachery.

If she goes to you, she will lose the greatest love she will ever know for the rest of her life. I know that. I know because of the sacrifices I have made for her willingly, and the things she and I have been through.

If she goes to you, you and her will implode. Because any relationship built on the lies and deception that yours and hers has been built on cannot last.

Then again, if she has decided to stoop to your level now, then perhaps you both belong together. At least this way, there will be two less people like yourselves, who have so little regard for other people, that are likely to go out there and hurt good people like me.

Someone like you will never find peace, because the only way you seek it is through evil intent toward someone else.

That is why I will never seek revenge for what you have done to me. Because I know that in the end, I will lead a happy and full life.

You, on the other hand, will not.

This is the path you have chosen for yourself. Deal with it.
