One of the habits that I have that has been both a blessing and a curse is that I tend to hoard stuff. I have kept the hoarding mainly designated to books, because I do not believe that will place me on that awful Hoarders show. The only other things that I excessively save are notes and letters I’ve received from the past. I was digging through a box today when I came across a letter my ex-hubby wrote right after I left him. Here you go:
To my love the Best wife ever
I Have Really Been Doing some hard Thinking and Besides stresses of my Back a Dumb Bad and A poor economy and way to many Bills I have come to realize that my actions are to Blame.
I Have Been A very poor Husband and my Priorities are really screwed up.
I Totally Have not Been spending enough close time with you or making you feel special and I don’t kiss you enough and It’s not because I Don’t love you or like to
I have took things for granit though things were better than they were and not attending to your needs when I should Have Been and have not took you to nice places enogh.
also I Have not Been doing my Part of HouseHold chores like I should Have Been, you are the hardest working wife ever and should not Have to come Home to A mess after such A long day. I have Been very poor for noticing these things Becaus I can be kind of Dumb sometimes
I know you can’t Pay all the Bills and I really need to step it up and not Be lazy with work.

I know I can change things to make you Happy if you let me pleas don’t give up on our marrage just yet
your loving husband
Yeah, I kind of felt like a Bitch after that one.
If I ever got a letter like this from any ex in my life, I would get a red pen out and mark up corrections on it and send it back. He must have been so proud he finished 4th grade.
Yeah, the spelling mistakes are ungodly.
I’m guessing that’s why he read it to me first.
Yes, the weird thing is, he kicked my ass at scrabble every time. I don’t know how that happened.
I got an email from my Ex once and it was really lovely and was signed … Never should have cheated on you, you were perfect … It did not make him less of a cheat did it?! No . Do not dwell on the pass … you have me now 😉
Exactly. 🙂
Someone has to say this cliche, so I will: Actions speak louder than words.
There, i said it.
Yeah, there was a reason why I left…
