“Letter to My Husband’s Mistress — 5 Years Later: Now You’re Just a Bad Memory”

Dear Alexa,

Five years have passed since you tried to tear my family apart, and yet, I still can’t bring myself to address you by your name. You remain, in my mind, the woman who attempted to steal my husband, Kyle, and the father of my children, Ethan and Nora. Yes, Kyle was an idiot for “falling in love” with you, but this letter isn’t about him—it’s about you.

You see, Alexa, you thought you could waltz into our lives and take what wasn’t yours. You believed that your charm and allure would be enough to make Kyle forget about his commitments, his responsibilities, and most importantly, his family. But you were wrong. You underestimated the strength of our bond and the depth of our love.

Kyle and I had been married for ten years when you came into the picture. We had built a life together, filled with memories, laughter, and yes, even struggles. But those struggles only made us stronger. You thought you could exploit our vulnerabilities, but all you did was expose your own.

I remember the day I found out about your affair. It was like a punch to the gut. The betrayal was overwhelming, and for a moment, I thought my world had come crashing down. But then I realized something important: you were just a symptom of a larger problem. Kyle and I had drifted apart, and you were the catalyst that forced us to confront our issues.

We went through hell and back to rebuild our marriage. It wasn’t easy, and there were times when I wanted to give up. But we fought for each other, for our children, and for the life we had built together. And in the end, we emerged stronger than ever.

But what about you, Alexa? What did you gain from all of this? You lost your dignity, your self-respect, and any chance of finding true happiness. You became a pariah, shunned by those who once called you a friend. Your reputation was tarnished, and you were left with nothing but regret.

You see, Alexa, you were never a threat to me or my family. You were just a temporary distraction, a fleeting moment of weakness. Kyle may have been foolish enough to fall for your charms, but he quickly realized his mistake. He came back to me, to our children, and to the life we had built together.

And now, five years later, you are nothing more than a bad memory. A cautionary tale of what happens when you try to take what isn’t yours. You are the one who lost out in the end.

So while I may never be able to call you by your name, I can say this: thank you. Thank you for reminding me of the strength of my marriage and the depth of my love for Kyle. Thank you for showing me that we can overcome anything as long as we have each other.

And most importantly, thank you for being a constant reminder of what not to be. Because in the end, you are the one who is truly alone.

Sincerely,

Eliana
