To the...

To the girls that my fiancé cheated on me with..

I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I’m more mad at you than I am at him.

I’m sorry that I’m to shallow to know that you did nothing wrong.

You just thought that he was a nice guy who had an honest interest and I’m sorry that you got to know that he was a nice guy, and that he’s handsome, and charming.

To myself...

I’m sorry that you’re not strong enough to leave.

I’m sorry that you love him so much that just the thought of leaving him breaks your heart.

I’m sorry that you also know he’s a nice guy, and I’m sorry that he stole your heart at 18 and has yet to give it back, even though he just broke it, maybe beyond repair.

To other girls...

I’m sorry that I’m not a great role model for the younger girls growing up.

I’m sorry that I can’t stand up for myself for the girls who need it most.

To my future daughter...

I’m sorry I’m not the role model you need.

But please know that situations like this are no ones decisions but your own. That you’re amazing. That you’re beautiful. That you and your feelings and your brain and your heart are worth SO much. No matter what a guy thinks. I hope you’re stronger than I am and I hope this never happens to you.
