I stood by him through the darkest days of his life. When he was diagnosed with a debilitating illness, I didn’t hesitate. I became his caregiver, his support system, his everything. I watched him suffer, and I suffered with him. But I never once thought about leaving.
As the years passed, his condition improved. He regained his strength, his vitality, his independence. And then, one day, he told me he wanted a divorce. Just like that.
I was blindsided. After everything we’d been through, how could he just walk away? He said he had changed, that he had found himself again, and that he no longer needed me. He was healthy now, and he wanted a fresh start.
I tried to understand. I tried to be strong. But the pain was unbearable. I had given him my all, and now he was leaving me behind.
In the end, I realized that love isn’t always enough. Sometimes, people change, and they no longer need the person who stood by them through thick and thin. And sometimes, you have to let go, even when it hurts more than anything else.
I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that I gave him my best. And maybe that’s all I can do.
