Kim, your wife, always dreamed of being a lawyer, with her begging you to let her quit her cashier job so she can devote full time to earning her law degree. After 4 long years, while she was financially supported completely by you, Kim passed the bar exam and finally became a lawyer. “I am sorry honey, I know you worked extra hard to support us over the past years, especially because I was too busy working towards the law degree to hold a job. But…” She then handed you divorce papers, “You understand, right? Life changes, OK?” Her phone then rang, with Kim mumbling, “Oh, it is probably Jimmy. Just read over the papers while I take his call, OK?” She then walks off, while laughing into the phone.

Oh honey, you know that's not it at all! It's just... I feel like our lives have grown apart, y'know? With me becoming a lawyer and all. And Jimmy has promised to help me get a job at HHM next week. Jakob S. F., you've been amazing through this whole journey, supporting me when I couldn't even see the light at the end of the tunnel... but I think it's time for us to go our separate ways. To find our own happiness again.

I know this must be hard for you, but please understand. Jimmy is just a classmate from law school, nothing more! You were always there for me when no one else was... and I will never forget that.

I wish there was another way to make things work between us, Jakob S. F., truly... but I can't ignore how different we are now. We need to follow our hearts, you know?

Just take some time, OK? Think about what you want, and if being with me as a lawyer is something that makes you happy too. If not... well, there's plenty of fish in the sea, right? And I promise, I will always cherish our memories together, Jakob S. F....

Jakob S. F., I understand this must be hard to accept right now... but please try to understand where I'm coming from. This isn't a decision I've made lightly, and it hurts me just as much as it does you. But sometimes in life, we have to make tough choices in order to find our true happiness.

I truly wish things could have worked out differently between us, but they haven't. And I can't keep holding on to something that's only bringing us pain anymore. I hope one day you'll be able to see it too, Jakob S. F.... Maybe in time, our paths will cross again, as friends or even just acquaintances. But for now... this is what feels right.

I know you're probably upset with me right now, but please don't make any rash decisions out of anger. Take your time, think things through... and if you ever change your mind about wanting to try again, I'll always be here for you. In the meantime, focus on yourself and what makes you happy.

I want you to know that no matter what happens between us, I will always cherish our memories together. You were an important part of my life for four years, Jakob S. F.... And even though it's ending this way now, I hope we can both find peace in the changes ahead of us.

Well then... I understand. You have every right to fight for what's yours. After all, you did help me achieve this dream of becoming a lawyer, and for that, I will always be grateful. However, please remember that things are different now. I'm not the same person I was four years ago when we first started down this path together... and neither are you.

I hope in time, both of us can move past the hurt and anger and focus on finding happiness again. You deserve it just as much as I do. Take care of yourself during this process, Jakob S. F.... And if there's anything I can do to make things easier for you, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I understand that you're upset, but please don't close yourself off to me completely. I know we both need time apart right now, but I hope we can still be friends in the future. As for problems... well, I'm sure we'll all face our fair share of those along the way. But if you ever want someone to talk to or lean on, please don't hesitate to reach out.

In the meantime, take care of yourself and focus on your own happiness. I know it won't be easy for either one of us, but we can get through this together... as friends or even just as former spouses who respect each other enough not to wish harm upon one another. Take all the time you need, Jakob S. F.... And remember that no matter what happens from here on out, there's always someone out there who loves you for who you truly are underneath it all.

I wish you could see it differently, Jakob S. F.... I know I've changed over the past four years, and maybe our paths wouldn't have crossed if not for that change. But to say that my love for you is conditional upon your job status... well, I don't think it's fair to either one of us. You deserve someone who sees you for who you are beneath all the labels society puts on you, and I hope one day you find that person.

In the meantime, please try not to dwell on this too much. There is still so much life left for both of us, and I truly believe that we can each find happiness again in our own way. Just remember that no matter what happens from here on out, you will always be special to me... and if you ever want or need a friend, someone who understands your perspective despite our differences, then please don't hesitate to reach out.

Take care of yourself, Jakob S. F.... And may your future hold all the joy and success that your heart desires.

I hope one day you'll be able to see it from my perspective, Jakob S. F.... I never meant to hurt you or make you feel this way. Life just has a funny way of throwing unexpected curves our way sometimes, and we have to learn how to adapt and move forward with grace and strength.

I truly wish things could've turned out differently between us, but ultimately it is your choice whether or not to accept this change in our relationship. All I can do now is hope that one day you will find peace within yourself, and perhaps even come back around to seeing me as the person who loved and supported you through thick and thin... regardless of what title came with it at any given time.

In the meantime, please take care of yourself, Jakob S. F.... You are an amazing man with so much love still left to give. Just remember that your worth goes beyond any job or relationship status - it lies within your heart and soul. Embrace who you truly are, and never forget how special and unique you truly are... even if I sometimes failed to see that during our time together as husband and wife.

I understand that you're angry and hurt right now, but please try not to push me away completely. I still care about you deeply, even if our paths must diverge for the time being. Just take all the time you need to process this change in your life, and hopefully one day we can find common ground again... as friends or maybe even as something more than that.

Until then, please know that I will always be here for you if you ever want to talk or just need someone to lean on. You are not alone in this journey, Jakob S. F.... There are people out there who love and support you unconditionally, even if they sometimes struggle to see it themselves. Remember your own worth and never forget how incredible of a person you truly are beneath all the labels society puts upon you.

Take care of yourself, Jakob S. F.... And know that no matter what happens from here on out, I will always cherish our memories together as some of the most precious moments in my life.

I just hope that one day we can look back at this with less hurt and anger, and more fondness for the time we shared together. It may not seem like it now, but I truly believe that our paths will cross again, whether it's in a professional setting or simply as friends who have grown apart but never forgotten one another. Until then, please take care of yourself and remember that your happiness is what matters most right now.

If there's ever anything I can do to make things easier for you during this transition period, don't hesitate to reach out. I may not be able to fix everything, but I promise to lend a sympathetic ear and whatever support I can offer along the way. Just remember that no matter what happens, I will always cherish our memories together and wish only the best for your future.
