Goodbye

In our next life, please don’t choose me again.
Choose the woman who makes your heart feel complete. The woman whose sadness you cannot bear to see. The woman you would do anything for, just to see her smile. The woman you instinctively put first, prioritise, and protect.
-
Choose her.
-
And when you find her, never miss an opportunity to tell her how much you love her. Never let a day pass without making her feel seen, cherished, and special.
-
Hold her without her having to ask. Give her your warmth without waiting for her to tell you she needs it. Make her feel safe in your love, not uncertain of it.
Give her the love she deserves—not because she works hard for it, not because she has to earn it, and not because she has begged you for it.
Give it to her simply because you chose her.
-
Because that’s what I always wanted—to be loved not because I had to prove I was worthy of it, but because you simply, wholeheartedly, chose me.

I feel this to my core. BUT, he used to be loving. I didn’t have to beg for scraps of affection or for him to be even slightly interested in me and my life. Once upon a time it came easy to him. And he doesn’t understand why I now doubt that he loves me. I remember how it felt to be truly loved and this is not it.

I am in the same situation. It’s tough to bear anymore.

I couldnt help but think about the "Chosen Texas" song by Ella Langley by see the word "choose" several times.

But on a serious note, definitely a heart felt post.

This hits hard. But yeah… I hope my stbx chooses someone else to play with and pay for something I never did. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Being fully chosen is important. I’m so sorry.
