    Dear Husband,

    I'm glad you've seen the light and are making substantial changes.
    I'm sorry it took you mistreating and taking me for granted for more than 7 years (of our 11 together) to realize how great I really am.
    I'm sorry I have nothing left to give. I gave you everything I had and now there is nothing left inside. No hope. No more chances. No love. Just ambivalent silence.
    Please leave. I need my space.
    I'm glad you are on your way to being a better person. You will now be able to make some other woman a very happy wife.
    I would say how I wished you could have changed like this before now because it would have made all the difference in the world, but I'm tired of 'wishing' and I'm tired of living in the past.
    My future is today. And I will be happy on my own.

    Signed,
    Your Empty Wife

    Youre not empty... youre full of spirit, love, compassion, a warm heart, and a great personality... I could go on and ON, but you are fill of SMARTS for not making the same mistake twice... Bravo to you! Applause! YOU GO GIRL! you deserve the very best!

    dear co-workers:

    just because i am tall does not mean it is my responsibility to change the light bulbs in the bathroom. the name plate by my office door does not say 'maitenence' or 'janitor'. if i happen to notice it i may change them just because. if you see me doing this once, do not come running to my desk or send me an email to let me know there is a bulb out. what do you want me to do next, change the AC filters??? give me a break...i am going to start charging for these services if you keep asking me.

    sincerely,

    Dear A Certain Co-worker,

    I do not find it cute when you use a "baby voice" to talk to everyone around you. In fact, I find it obnoxious. You are over the age of 40 and increadibly capable of using a normal person voice. I have heard it.

    Sincerly,
    Irritated at my desk.

    Dear Son,

    PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN!!! You were raised by a woman so after all this time I know you're capable of remembering to put it down. Don't give me that "I'm a guy, I can't help it" crap. When I start nagging at you for not putting it down, don't complain about my nagging because I'll say, "I'm a woman, I can't help it". :tongue: :smooched:

    Your loving Mom

    Dear Mom,

    Yes I recently made the decision to try being a vegetarian. No, this does not concern you, concidering I live on my own. Yes I know you don't agree with my choice, but I did the research on the subject, and I am confident on my decision. Don't talk to me like I made a stupid choice, and don't tell me I could never really do it and I wouldn't last more than a day. I've lasted 2 and a half weeks and I'm doing great.

    Let me be my own person!

    Sincerly,
    Irritated Vegetarian

    Wait til you shyly start to let other people know, they look at you like you are a nutjob. ( I don't mean crowing it out, but if they are like hey there is a steakhouse let's go, and you are like no thanks..you get the look) I admire you, I cannot get myself to the full level yet. I've given up beef, pork, and anything but the smallest pieces of chicken breast. Seafood and all dairy except milk are my two things I'm having a hard time giving up. I love sashimi!
  • Dear husband, I wish you would just make up your mind. I am tired of trying to please you and make this marriage work. Marriage was designed for two and apparently you did not read the contract when you said I do. Stop saying you love me when your out their dating every one else. If you have found some one new then stop hanging on to me!!! I already told you that you may leave if you please. Why are you still here!

    I think I have paid off my debt by now for fixing my eyes on you. Have not I been good to you, pleasing you, and serving you faithfully for 14 years? I too deserve an opportunity to be happy and if you have found your happiness with some one else then set me free! My future new husband will thank you one Day for this.

    Your overwhelmed wife...

    Dear Man not worth my time...or the title of "man"

    Why can't you just let me go? I didn't want this to get nasty. I really didn't. All I wanted was a bit of financial support and no part of the financial mistakes you made with the house and credit cards that were all in your name. I can't even begin to mourn the mockery you made of our vows because you're dragging this thing out. Is it just so that I'll spend more of my mother's money on an attorney? Is it because you think I'm too scared and will back down?

    I've got news for you. I'm not who I used to be. The fact that you've torn me apart has only forced me to rebuild myself even stronger. So look out. I'm not backing down. You wanted a war, you've got one now. And I promise you it's not one you'll win.

    Sincerely,
    New and Improved

In the past I have tried new things but I always fell back into old habits *darn those doritoz* but this time I think I would like to keep you around Mr.Soy crisps and Mrs.veggie sticks....Mrs.Fage You really amaze me and you go great with just about anything.....but Hummus and Spinach you rock my socks!! hehe...so everytime I walk into the grocery store just say "yoohoo" and I will be coming your way.

    Dear Professor of the Class I Could Care Less About,

    You're teaching a class that is part of the 'General Education Curriculum'. Meaning I am FORCED to take a class in a subject I could care less about that has nothing to do with my major. Okay okay, I get it...you LOVE geography and it is your passion... it is not mine. Please don't give me ~100 pages a night to read when you know I have 3 other classes and 4 exams coming up within the next week.

    Sincerely,
    Your burnt out student.



    AND...



    Dear ex boyfriend,

    I'm happy for you that you found someone else to make you happy. However, the fact that she is barely legal and you are pushing 30 irks me... please stop talking about her when we see each other. It's creepy and awkward.

    Thanks!
    Your ex.



    AND.... last one....


    Dear cute tall guy I work with,

    When you FINALLY came over to talk to me today I'm sorry if I seemed short and unfriendly. I was crazy busy and you couldn't of come to talk to me at a worse time. That being said, you are cute and seem nice and if I were currently a wee less bitter regarding men, I would probably be super flirty and friendly... but men aren't particularly my favorite creatures at the moment :grumble: ... so, I hope you understand :)

    Thanks,
    The bitter busy data entry girl.

    Dear All Geography Professors In The World,

    Most of your bored-to-tears students stare at the clock for 55 minutes fruitlessly willing the minute hand to move faster. There are ways to make Geography interesting. Tie it in to current events. Most people graduate from college and cannot tell you where Washington D.C. is, let alone Iraq.

    Here's a thought. Teach "How to balance a checking account" - it is much more useful.

    Tie this lesson into "Where all your money is going - out of the checking account and directly to Iraq via Washington D.C."

    TA - DA. Suddenly we are paying attention.

    Sincerely,
    55, 54, 53, 52, 51, 50, 49 etcetera, minutes to go in your stupid class.:grumble:

    The only person who can set you free is yourself.... use your power and strength to do what is best for YOU... give yourself permission to move forward instead of holding on to the things that are bringing you down
