From Him.
And I could just delete and continue on with my day. I could ignore the fact that this has been going on for years now, for far too long. I could pretend like it doesn’t break my heart to know that he’s on the other side of the world with someone who isn’t me.
But I don’t, and I read it, and hey! The wedding is coming up next year, and of course he wants me to come. Because what would a wedding be without the broken hearted ex-… Ex what?
And of course he had to go and ask about my damn dog, Dixie who I love and who I couldn’t live without. And I just want to giggle and gush and go on about the ridiculous adventures she’s gone on of late.
But I’m just sitting here looking at the message instead, wondering why someone I’m so done with can still have this power over me.

Want me to email you a love note instead?
Sorry that he keeps doing this. I could kick him in the gonads for not having a heart.

Regardless of who did the breaking-up, it’s still really tough to hear from somebody who once meant so much. Inviting you to his wedding seems a bit much. I’d write back something like “I know you’re happy about the wedding, but please excuse me if I take a different view. No, I will not be attending.”
