To the woman who is laying in bed with an uneasy feeling in her stomach, because she knows that her man is looking at another women the way he used to look at you.  Take it from someone who knows, there is nothing you could’ve done to prevent it. If you looked back, and I mean truly dug deep into the first time he ever told you of the woman before you.  Think about how the women before you had told you repeatedly that he wasn’t good enough for you. Think about how you have seen him in action, how he has left the woman he was with, for another at the drop of a hat. Take it from someone who knows, the rush of thinking you can fix someone and change their ways, is a rush like no other. Take it from someone who knows, it wasn’t you, and as cliche as that sounds it’s true. He was always going to find a shiny new toy to play with, it was just a matter of time. Yes, you succeeded in keeping him longer than the others before you, and yes, you may have turned him into a better man, at least for a little while.  That feeling in your gut, that is the feeling of betrayal, take it from someone who knows.  Trust your instincts and get rid of someone who makes you feel, for even a second that you weren’t good enough to make them stay.  To the woman who is with a man who doesn’t realize what he has, there is better out there for you. Take it from someone who knows, don’t hold on to that last piece of hope, cut it.  From someone who knows, to the woman he’s wronged, I’m sorry. I’m sorry you are feeling the way that most women around you have felt, it is something no one wishes on their worst enemy.  Just know that one day, maybe in a couple months, or even years, he will know what it feels like to be the guy sitting in bed with an uneasy feeling in his stomach, because he knows that his girl is looking at another man the way she used to look at him.
