Hey there,
Look, I understand that sometimes relationships don’t work out. People evolve, feelings shift, and unfortunate circumstances can lead to a separation. However, there are moments when someone’s actions are so detrimental that it’s impossible to overlook them. You, my friend, have landed in that category.
This divorce falls on your shoulders. You’ve caused pain, hurt, and betrayal to my best friend, and that’s something I can’t just shrug off. She’s navigating this storm with the strength and grace that makes her who she is, all while you two are trying to manage co-parenting and keeping the peace for the sake of your kids. It’s commendable—truly. I respect that you’re both putting your children first, sharing laughter, meals, and moments that matter, even in a tough time like this. Many could learn from your ability to work together, and that’s no small feat.
But don’t think for a second that just because she’s handling this with dignity, I’m not furious. Oh, I’m absolutely furious. You see, while she’s busy acknowledging your role as a good father and attempting to forgive you, I’m here with the Best Friend Card in hand, ready to unleash my outrage. You’re the source of the heartbreak and anxiety she’s facing, and for that, you deserve a big middle finger.
So here’s the deal:
- Screw you for making her feel sad.
- Screw you for leading her to doubt her own worth.
- Screw you for shattering the very foundation of trust in your relationship.
- Screw you for making her feel guilty for not being able to maintain a facade of normalcy.
- Screw you for causing her financial stress.
- Screw you for the sleepless nights filled with tears.
- Screw you for making her face the reality of spending less time with her beloved kids.
- Screw you for adding to her worries about the future.
She has to co-parent with you, attend events together, and help your children navigate their emotions—all while carrying the weight of this situation on her shoulders. It’s a heavy load, especially when she never wanted to be in this position in the first place.
While she’s doing her best to rise above, you can understand why I’m fuming, right? Why I want to metaphorically punch you in the gut? You have no idea how tempted I am to wish you a world full of problems. “Hope your new place is infested with cockroaches!”—but only when the kids aren’t around, of course.
Her role is to be the bigger person while I stand beside her, validating her feelings and lifting her spirits when she feels overwhelmed. I’ll be there with takeout and cheap wine when life gets tough. I’m the one reminding her that beyond this challenging time lies a new beginning, something wonderful just waiting for her.
And it’s true. She will find happiness again. She’ll grow stronger through this experience. She’ll learn to forgive you, even if I’m here shaking my head and rolling my eyes. You may be a good dad, but right now, I’ll be over here glaring in your direction.
By the way, if you happen to receive a package filled with roaches, don’t come looking for me. I’ll deny everything.
With disdain,
The BFF
