Becca, I understand. My 2nd boyfriend, Thomas, was the love of my life. He went to prison for 10 years and I stayed with him through it all. Took phone calls, sent him money, wrote him 2 or 3 letters a day.. Ten years later, he gets out and about a week later, dumped me in hopes of getting back with one of his exes named Amanda.
I was heartbroken, cried all the time. Finally I asked God to take Thomas out of my head and heart. I threw away anything he'd ever given me, tossed all his letters and burned all his pictures. That did it for me, haven't thought about him since..
