She loved him…heart, body, mind and soul. They were the perfect couple and got along in a way that words fail to describe. He once told her if she never said, “I love you”, he would know. He saw it in the way she looked at him. Everyone saw something special about them when they were together. Even her dog loved him.

He was everything she ever wanted, an honorable man with intelligence and a great sense of humor. He was kind and his touch was so very tender. He often talked about their life all the way into old age. She loved the depth of his dark brown eyes. Little did she know they held a deceptive side.

After being together two years, something felt off and she needed to know what was going on. He failed to own up to his odd behavior when she calmly confronted him, so she felt the need to find out for herself. She deserved to know! He left a small trail behind and to this day she doesn’t know if it was deliberate or a flawed execution. She followed the trail and investigated until she had concrete proof. He cheated on her.

One night the selfish part of him took hold and he went to a strip club. This is something he said was against his standards or so he had always told her. He befriended a stripper, attempting to see her outside of the club. He was so hyped up about the stripper, he forgot he had a girlfriend and actively pursued this other woman, dismissing it was her job to give him attention for money. She didn’t like him, she liked his money!

Once he was busted for cheating, a dark side came out. Hoping he would ask for forgiveness and make things right, instead he offered a brutal surprise by sending an email saying he was leaving her. The feeling of rejection was intense. The feeling of loss even more intense. How could this person who vowed their love exchange everything they had together for a cheap thrill and break up through an email?

He never offered a real apology, but did later come back to say that their relationship had been an on-going success and he sabotaged it out of fear of failure. How very sad, to lose everything they both ever wanted and for what? He’ll never understand her pain, her loss and how she still thinks of him every day. He lost her and the stripper looked at him as a fool.
