Essay / Anatomy of a Love Letter - 440
Anatomy of a Letter, Part IYou're right Sandra. A letter from you is the last thing I want right now. We've been together for so long and I know you feel like I'm throwing this all aside as some sort of "overreaction" but you're failing to see the bigger picture. Put yourself in my place for a moment and stop thinking about yourself and maybe you will understand the reason why our relationship is beyond repair. I understand that our relationship was, as you say, “at a standstill” due to a lack of concern. about our future together. What I don't understand is that you didn't come to me once to tell me what you thought about this huge step in our lives. I had no idea how important it was to you that our careers coincided. You are a very independent woman and I did not want my aspirations to slow down your progress in the business world. You see, this is one of our problems, we have a lack of communication. We've known each other since we were children and yet you still have trouble coming to talk to me every time something bothers you. Instead, you found Mr. “lovedoc” and talked to him. And another thing, this whole situation is none of your business. Do you know how many times you mentioned yourself in your letter? 33 times!! This is about America and how we can get through this together. You know, you didn't even say you were sorry. Not once did you apologize. You kept talking about YOU, what YOU had to sacrifice and what YOU had to give. There is no such thing as a one-sided relationship. I also gave my all in this relationship. And unlike you, I didn't need another woman to turn to when things got difficult. I have remained faithful to you in good times and bad. I don't think you'll ever know the pain I'm going through right now. You will never know the heartache I felt reading these emails, one after another, each spoken with such lust and desire..
