BASHERT


I thought you were my bashert. I loved that you were Jewish, as I am part Jewish myself, though I wasn't raised Jewish, and I thought you could teach me about that part of myself, and about that part of my heritage. I thought you were my soulmate. I thought I was special to you. Like an idiot, I fantasized about marrying you in a synagoge and having beautiful children with you. But I was nothing special to you at all.

You forsook your faith, and you became just another hypocritical christian like everyone else I've ever known. You didn't want me for a wife, you weren't looking for your bashert. You were just a selfish, lying, middle aged schmuck who wanted to take advantage of a young woman who had real and deep feelings for you. For three years I longed for you, always wondering if I had done the right thing in letting you go. Then I find out that you're giving fucking sermons at your church!

You self righteous peice of shit! You and your hypocrisy have wounded me more than any fist my husband has ever thrown at me.
