I Finally Released the Woman Who Left Me Broken

Last month, I decided to call it quits with my ex, and it was a four-year-long relationship. I was heartbroken, but staying in that relationship was even more painful. I, being a Yoruba boy from Osun State, have always had a strong faith in love. I am the one who would do anything and everything to make the relationship work. I give it all, but it rarely ends up well. Among them all, this one has hurt me the most.

She was already cheating on me from day one of our meeting in 2021. As the relationship went on, it became apparent that I was always her last option. She would love me to death until a new one came along. My emotions seemed to count nothing for her.

She was a pretty girl. Attention was her beacon and wherever she went, she had a bunch of it around her. Men would see me next to her and would keep staring at her as if they would like to eat her right in front of me. And she would not only enjoy that but would also love the fact that these men were after her.

I busted her on infidelity eight times. Each time, she made up an excuse. “Oh, it’s not what you see.” “It’s not what you imagine.” This girl could tell lies like a whole nation. Whenever I pointed out her wrongs, she would call up a story that made me feel like the guilty one.

I had a profound love for her and did not want to let her go. Therefore, I continued to make changes in my behavior and to cater to her every need, even if my peace and happiness were the ones to suffer.

I don’t know how long I was planning to be her performer; it was just a day when I said enough is enough. It’s really hard to leave a person you love, but in my case, being with a person who does not care or respect you is worse to death.

I let her go when I could no longer stand it. It was a lengthy process for me, but I am thankful that I eventually managed to break out. Love is not supposed to be painful, and I do know it now. Hence, I am ready to wait for as long as it will take to come across real love. It won't be a lingering situation if it comes with suffering.
