Best Divorce Letter Ever

Thursday, December 07, 2006
My brother found this on Digg.com; it's priceless. There are several versions but this one is the best.

Dear Connie,

I know the counselor said we should not contact each other during our “cooling off” period, but I couldn’t wait anymore.

The day you left I swore I’d never talk to you again but that was just the little boy in me talking. Still, I never wanted to be the first one to make contact. In my mind, it was always you who should come crawling back to me. I guess my pride needed that. But now I see that my pride’s cost me a lot of things. I’m tired of pretending I don’t miss you. I don’t care about looking bad anymore. I don’t care who makes the first move as long as one of us does. Maybe it’s time we let our heart speak as loudly as our hurt.

This is what my heart says: “There is no one like you, Connie. I look for you in the eyes and breasts of every woman I see, but they are not you. They are not even close.”

Two weeks ago I met this girl at Flamingo’s and brought her home with me. I don’t say this to hurt you, but just to illustrate the depth of my desperation. She was young, maybe 19; with one of those perfect bodies that only youth and maybe a childhood spent ice skating can give you. I mean, just a perfect body. She is every man’s dream, right?

As I sat on the couch being blown by this stunner, I thought, look at the stuff we’ve made important in our lives. It’s so superficial. What does a perfect body mean? Does it make her better in bed? Well, in this case, yes, but you see what I am getting at. Does it make her a better person? Does she have a better heart than my moderately attractive Connie? I doubt it. And I never really thought of that before. I don’t know, maybe I’m just growing up a little.

Later, after I tossed her about a pint of throat yogurt, I found myself thinking, “Why do I feel so drained and empty?” It wasn’t just her flawless technique or her slutty, shameless hunger, but something else. I had this nagging feeling of loss. Why did I feel so incomplete? And then it hit me. I didn’t feel the same because you were not there to watch. Do you know what I mean? Nothing feels the same without you. Jesus, Connie, I’m just going crazy without you. And everything I do reminds me of you.

Do you remember Carol, that single mom we met at the Holiday Inn lounge last year? Well, she dropped by last week with a pan of lasagna. She said she figured I wasn’t eating right without a woman around. I didn’t know what she meant until later, but that’s not the real story. Anyway, we had a few glasses of wine and the next thing you know, we are banging away in our bedroom. And this tart’s a total monster in the sack. She’s giving me everything, you know, like a real woman does when she’s not hung up about her weight or her career and whether the kids can hear us. And all of a sudden, she spots that tilting mirror on your grandmother’s old vanity. So she puts it on the floor and we straddle it, right, so we can watch ourselves. And it’s totally hot but it makes me sad too because I can’t help thinking, “Why didn’t Connie ever put the mirror on the floor? We’ve had this vanity for what, 14 years, and we never used it as a sex toy.”

Saturday, your sister drops by with my copy of the restraining order. I mean, Vicki’s just a kid and all but she’s got a pretty good head on her shoulders and she’s been a real good friend to me during this painful time. She’s given me lots of good advice about you and women in general. She is pulling for us to get back together. She really is.

So we’re doing Jell-O shots in a hot bubble bath and talking about happier times. Here’s this teenage girl with the same DNA as you and all I can think is how much she looked like you when you were 18. And that just about makes me cry. And then it turns out, Vicky’s really into the whole anal thing, that gets me to thinking about how many times I pressured you about trying it and how that probably fueled some of the bitterness between us. But do you see how even then, when I’m thrusting inside your baby sister’s cinnamon hole, all I can do is think of you? It’s true, Connie. In your heart you must know it. Don’t you think we could start over? Just wipe all the grievances away and start over fresh? I think we can. If you feel the same way please, please, please let me know.

Otherwise, can you let me know where the fucking remote is?

Love,

Dan

MG,
Dan really poured his heart out to Connie. I'm pulling for them to get back together. This letter gives real hope for marriage everywhere. Even Vicki, Connie's hot sister, wants Dan and Connie to get back together. There is still hope. LOL!
