Dear Her

Dear Her,

Thank you!

Thank you for not realizing what you had when you had it. Thank you for choosing guys at the bar over the one you had at home. Thank you for putting him in over 60,000 dollars of debt. Thank you for responding to those creeps that stalked you on social media. Thank you for meeting up with them. Thank you for kicking his friends out of your guys' apartment. Thank you for making him choose between you and a motorcycle. Thank you for telling him he couldn’t do the things he loved because he needed to be up your butt 24/7. Thank you for making him a Craigslist ad trying to get him laid so you can say he cheated instead of you. Thank you for packing your stuff in the middle of the night and not talking to him. Thank you for betraying him. Thank you for not going through on your guys' wedding (which is part of the debt). Thank you for crushing his heart and ruining his outlook on women, relationships, and love. Thank you for it all because without you doing what you did I wouldn’t have what we have.

So thank you!

I thank you because without your sleaziness, he could have found another serious relationship before me and I could have never met him.

I thank you because when we first saw each other in our college gym both of our hearts stopped and it felt like we were alone even though we were at least half a basketball court away from each other. Without you, he would never have had the chance or guts to go play ball again. Without you breaking him down to the core where he felt so lost, confused, and lonely, he would never have had the courage to do what he truly wanted to do.

I thank you because without your selfishness I would have never had him in education class constantly trying to get me to look at him, constantly trying to get me to smile, and constantly trying to be partners or in the same group as me.

I thank you because without you betraying the next step before the sacred bond of marriag,e I would never have had him message me on Facebook about homework. I would never have had him ask me a bunch random questions just to keep our conversation going.

I thank you because without your stupidity I would never have had him care about if my muffler was fixed correctly so he gave me his number. I would never have had him invite me to his dorm room for a party. I would never had our first kiss with him. I would never have had our first time. I would never have met the one for me.

I thank you because by you crushing him and making him not want anything serious it makes what we have is 100 times better.

You are right, though, I will not be the first girl he proposed too.

You are right. This will not be the first time he has picked groomsmen or wedding colors.

You are right. I will not have as big of a ring as you.

You are right. A lot of firsts have been lost.

Just so you know and don’t forget!

I WILL BE THE WOMAN WITH HIS LAST NAME!

I WILL BE THE MOTHER TO HIS CHILDREN!

I WILL BE HIS FOREVER!

And I will get to be all of these thing because of everything you have done!

Thank you for fucking up and making my life 100 percent better and easier.

Sincerely,

THE ONE
