Dear person I Hurt, It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken now. I take the blame for that. I was dead wrong for what I did to you. I do not want to make any excuses for my terrible behavior, but I am a totally different person now. The person you knew was deep in the throws of heroin addicti...

To my former best friend, You slept with my fiancé. You looked me in the eye every day for years like nothing happened. You smiled in my face for years like nothing happened. Then you had the nerve to make yourself the victim in the situation. You gaslit me. Had the nerve to say that I needed ...

Dear Ex, At this point. It’s over. I wish I had an opportunity to tell you how much you mean to me. You were different. You were a stranger. Someone I met and to learned to love. I thought you were the one. I thought you felt the same. It’s been two months since you broke up with me and I’m st...

Dear Soon-to-be Ex Husband, A month of separation gave me more clarity than I anticipated, and next week I am filing papers to end the rollercoaster ride I’ve been on with you for 15 years. The space highlighted how there is not room in this relationship for me, your ego and your desperate nee...

I met and fell in love with a guy who I later found out was involved with someone else. I continued the relationship despite him being taken. He says he loves me, yet is staying with her. Saying that he feels obligated to. Even though he’s very unhappy. I feel broken without him. When she found o...

I loved you with all my heart. And put it out there again. And again, you’ve broken it. I’ve got to move on. Your message—or lack of it—told me all I need to know. I’m not what you want. If I was, you wouldn’t ignore texts. You would make sure I knew. I’m a back-up plan; someone you know will ...

Dear Mom, You are the stupidest person I know and a liar. I try to avoid saying I love you on phone calls because I don’t feel love for you anymore. I only allow you to talk to me because you pay my phone bill. You’re so capricious. You think you know my life better than I know myself. I truly be...

You have no idea the damage you’ve done on my heart, the number you’ve done on my head. You don’t understand I love you like I’m in love with you. As bad as it is, as pathetic as it sounds, I would likely take you back right now. After everything you’ve done to me I still love you. Sick and twist...

Dear Former Friend, I’m still thinking, and let’s face it, laughing, about the “scathing tell off“ you felt compelled to post the other day. I actually screen-shot it and sent it to a few of your former and my continued friends, and on reflection of conversations with them, I guess I owe you an a...

To My Father, When I was a young child I truly believed you loved me and we shared a special father-daughter bond. As I got older I began to question the true intentions of why you ignored my sisters and openly admitted I was your favorite. You were manipulating me into thinking I was special to ...

To my sister-in-law, I know we aren't on good terms and haven't been in years. I know everyone thinks I'm just mad at you, and I am. But what I'm too embarrassed to admit is that I was extremely hurt by what felt like rejection from you. My own sister had mental health issues and treated me horri...

Dear Society…Dear Stranger Who Will Read This, I will never meet you, neither you me. We don’t know each other, that’s the one thing we know for sure. But the one thing I know is that society can influence us so much that in the end, we don’t recognize ourselves. The world is beautiful, but our s...

To The Person I Badly Wronged So Long Ago, I have been holding onto a secret for so long and it has been eating away at my conscience and overwhelming me with guilt day and night for so long.

It was almost ten years ago, the same week as my 19th birthday. I'd donated blood the day before a party some classmates were having and fainted so, still feeling a little weird and weak, I'd decided not to drink at that party. I offered to DD for a friend who happily accepted. We dressed up, bec...

To My Friend, I wanted to share my secret with you years ago but was too afraid. So I had to keep it inside of myself. But I think this is the right time to let you know what has been troubling me.

Hi, I miss you. I think I may be in love with you. Me, a wife and a mother, a part of an altogether different family, am in love with you, a husband and father of another family.

My dearest wife, For some years now I know I’ve been unfaithful to you. Right from the time I met you to the period of our relationship and courtship. I lied to you even until we got married.

My Dear Honey, I'm so sorry for all those years ago. I know it hurt but I didn't know what else to do. It happened at a dark time, and you weren't helping either. I still think about doing that again. You've pushed me to that point so many times. Several times a year, and I just can't take it. I ...

Dear E-Girlfriend, I guess I should have written to you years ago, but I didn't have the guts to do it.

Dear Friend, I've been craving to tell you this for quite some time because you've had your own difficulties due to Coronavirus and I didn't want to inconvience you with my own problems.

Dear Love of My Life, I have kept a pretty big secret from you for nearly twenty-seven years now.

Dear Ex-Friend, I have a secret. I got you fired from a job. Both of us worked for the company and you were constantly trying to boss me around as though you were my supervisor, when actually we were peers. I got tired of it.

Dear Sweetheart, With great sadness of heart I write this to you. I know how much great love you've shown me and you really don't deserve a man like me.

Ex-Boyfriend, I still think about you a lot. I wish that I didn't think about you at all. You really hurt me. But I still wonder about you a lot.

Dear Dad, I have always wondered - why did you leave mom when she got pregnant? At first, I thought maybe we both weren't enough for you or that the thought of us and a family just didn't make you happy. Growing up I have always needed someone by my side and neither you nor mom were there. I k...

Dear Past Lover, I didn't know what I was missing in my life until I met you. You taught me how to love, how amazing life was, and how beautiful I was, though I didn't know. The day I met you was a really good one. You came to me, speaking a language I didn't talk at all, making my cheeks red...

Hey...A man's anger and a woman's love is immeasurable. It took some time for me to realize that I really hurt you and I can understand, by my heart, its extent.

To my soon-to-be ex-husband, When we stood in front of our friends and family to pledge our love to each other, I never thought this is where we would end up!
