I'm sure you already have a letter for women who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. I have had it with my no good ass man. We have been together for six years now, but we are not married. He abuses me verbally and this will make the third time I've caught him cheating on me. Each time he promises me he will never do it again, but he ends up doing the same thing. There is no trust, but I love him. Even though I love him, I'm ready to finally let go because I'm really tired. We have a great sex life and that's what I really think I'm tied to. I want you to write a "Dear John" letter. I want it to have a bittersweet tone. His name is Patrick. Marcia

Dear Patrick,

It has been six long years that we have been together and there have been more bad times than there have been good. At this point in my life, I am really sick and tired of being sick and tired. Each time I have tried to let you go, you've come back and convinced me that you are ready and willing to make a change for us with your smooth words and passionate lovemaking.

You and I have come to a crossroad and I'm ready to halt and go another direction. I know that I have said many times that I am leaving, but this time I really mean it. You can save all of your tired "I love yous" because I know after six years they are lies. I regret it has taken me so long to realize that, but the important thing is I can really see you for who you are and what you are (snake.) You have no respect for yourself or me. If you did, you would have kept the head that you seem to think with in your pants!

I want you to scurry around and join the other filthy pigeons because I'm getting ready to mount up like an eagle and soar far away from here. I will miss you, but I'd rather hurt away from you and start my healing than to continuously hurt with you in my life. I had a love jones for you, but now I'm ready to love Mr. Jones.

This goodbye is for real, make no mistake about it.

Marcia
