The End of Us: A Divorce Letter

I never thought I would be writing this letter, especially not to you, the person I once promised forever to. The weight of the decision to end our marriage feels unbearable, but the truth has become impossible to ignore: we are no longer the people we once were, and our relationship is not what it used to be.

When we first met, I felt an immediate connection. We laughed, we dreamed, and we built a life together, a life that I thought would stand the test of time. But somewhere along the way, things changed. The small arguments became bigger, the silences became longer, and the love that once seemed so effortless now feels like a distant memory.

I’ve tried to hold on, to fix what was broken, but I can no longer pretend that we are happy. I’ve felt alone for far too long, even while standing right next to you. I’m not writing this to place blame or to recount every wrong we’ve experienced, but rather to acknowledge that we’ve grown apart and that our paths no longer align.

I wish you nothing but happiness, and I hope that you find peace in the next chapter of your life, just as I’m seeking peace in mine. This letter isn’t just about ending our marriage, it’s about setting us both free—free from the expectations, the resentment, and the disappointment.

I will always cherish the good memories we shared. But this is goodbye.

With a heavy heart,
[Your Name]
