I hate what happened.

I hate the things you said, but somehow I hate the things you never said even more.

I hate the conversations that never happened. The accountability that never came. The honesty I had to drag out of you. The explanations that arrived too late, if they arrived at all.

I hate that I spent so much time trying to understand you while you made so little effort to understand me.

I hate that when I was hurting, I was left piecing things together myself. Left replaying conversations, looking for answers between the lines, trying to make sense of contradictions that never should have existed in the first place.

I hate that you sold me a future that felt safe. A future where I could focus on settling into a new life, continue my studies, and build a home with someone who understood how much I would be sacrificing. I trusted those words. I built plans around them. I believed them.

Then somewhere along the way, everything changed.

The expectations changed.
The promises changed.
The understanding changed.

And instead of communicating that honestly, you let me discover it through disappointment after disappointment.

I hate that when things became difficult, you didn’t sit down with me and work through them. You didn’t communicate clearly. You didn’t take ownership. You didn’t protect our relationship.

You just let it unravel.

I hate that I was made to feel like a burden for struggling when I had trusted you enough to be vulnerable. I hate that private conversations became discussions with other people. I hate that my trust was treated so carelessly.

Most of all, I hate the lack of accountability.

Not because I needed perfection.

Not because I expected you to never make mistakes.

But because every relationship survives on honesty. On being able to say, “I was wrong.” On being able to look someone in the eyes and acknowledge the hurt you’ve caused.

And that never really came.

What came instead were explanations. Circumstances. Reasons. Justifications.

But explanations are not accountability.

Understanding why someone hurt you does not erase the fact that they hurt you.

I think that’s what hurts the most.

Not that things ended. Not even that I lost you.

It’s that I never got the honesty, accountability, and communication that could have given me peace.

So now I carry the weight of questions that should have been answered by the person who created them.

And some days I am sad. But other days I am angry.

Angry that I loved someone who couldn’t meet me with the same level of honesty I gave him.

Angry that I kept hoping you would step forward and say, “I understand what I did, and I am sorry.”

Angry that I waited for accountability that never truly arrived.

Because if you had just been honest from the beginning, communicated openly, and taken responsibility for your actions, maybe things would still have hurt.

But they would have made sense.

Instead, I was left grieving not only the relationship, but the trust, certainty, and future I thought I had.

And that is what I hate most of all.
