Dear Jodie,
I know things have been a living hell, especially with the weight of the world on your shoulders brought to you by school, relationships, and just life in general. During times like these I know it may seem like you’ll never be able to make it, that life will always bring you and keep you down; but I want you to know that this is NEVER true unless you want it to be that way.
You do so much for your boyfriend, but what does he give you in return? The cold shoulder? You try to talk to him about your feelings, what’s on your mind, what he can do to help you….but has he given you even the least bit of effort you give him? The answer is no, correct? If it’s been the same way for who knows how many months, and he’s aware of how you feel, then why should you continue to put so much effort into a one sided relationship?
Aside from the rent you both pay, you tell me that on occasion you use what’s left of your paycheck to buy him a gift, has he ever done a thoughtful thing for you? No. He’s completely selfish. He tells you things will get better, but have they gotten better? He gives you empty promises. Don’t put up with them any longer, it’ll just get worse in the long run.
It’s time that you start putting yourself first, you haven’t done that for a very long time. When was the last time you were truly happy? I know you love him a lot, but the thing is if he loved you as much as you loved him he would put you first, just like you put him first. It’s time to be happy Jodie. The road you are on is a very bumpy one, but eventually it’ll get smoother. That is once you make decisions that will make you happy in the long run, whether they will be difficult now to do.
I just want you to know that you’re worth more than the life you live now. Make things better for yourself, and cut out the people that only make you miserable because you don’t deserve to go through this.
