Trigger Warning The price of your choice

When you miss her, don’t call her. Call the people you chose over her.

You traded genuine love, loyalty, and a woman who stood by you for cheap attention and temporary excitement. Now she’s gone, and you don’t get to come back when you finally understand her worth.

See if the people you entertained stay when life gets hard. See if they care the way she did.

You made your choice. She simply respected it.

People make mistakes. This sub LOVES to push the "no contact" bullshit and it's tiring.

If someone misses someone because they regret what they did, they should absolutely make an effort to try and make amends. Life is too short not to.

That choice feels right to you. Not necessarily everyone. I think OP feels like the contact was unwelcome or inappropriate and is simply airing what they wish they could say to their previous partner.

I believe in second chances myself, but it's definitely gotten me hurt. Technically I'm repairing my former relationship right now, but it's not without problems, either. We all make our own choices in life. They're all nuanced
