ベビーキュート :
We were together for more than 11 years. He even asked my family's permission for my hand in marriage and planned to make me his fiancée. But before we could reach that chapter of our lives, we had already gone through countless battles, heartbreaks, and sacrifices.
Throughout those 11 years, he repeatedly cheated on me. Yet I kept forgiving him because I loved him deeply. He was my first boyfriend, and I was his first girlfriend. I held on to the hope that one day he would change. I didn't want to give up on someone I had built my life around, so I kept giving him chance after chance.
Eventually, I became exhausted.
No matter how many opportunities I gave him, nothing ever changed. Looking back, I know some people may think I was foolish for staying or selfish for always putting him first. But unless you've loved someone that deeply, it's hard to understand why letting go isn't as simple as walking away.
Sometimes, love makes us believe that patience can fix everything. Sometimes, we stay because we're holding on to who someone could become instead of accepting who they are.
Now, we've gone our separate ways. It's been a year since we last spoke, with no contact at all. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was the one I needed to make. For the first time in a long time, I'm choosing myself, finding peace, and learning that the love I kept giving to someone else is the love I should have been giving to myself all along.
I hope that one day, I'll look back on those 11 years not with regret, but with gratitude for the lessons they taught me and the strength they helped me discover.
