It’s funny, my dentist, who has been my dentist for more than 30 years until he retired shortly after COVID.

I thought he was a bit of a prick back in the day. When I got older 25, maybe younger, I just quit going. No benefits, it’s expensive, so I just looked after my teeth as best I could. Brush well every day, that kind of thing. And it worked. I went in there in the mid 00’s for the first time in decades. I had one bad cavity but other than that, I don’t think he believed me when I said I hadn’t been to a dentist. I had benefits, at this time but they only covered 75%. So he does all this work, saves the tooth, insults me a few times, a complete d***. He does the work, I get up, put on my coat, and walk out the door. I’m thinking I’ll get a bill in the mail. I didn’t realize I was expected to pay on that day. It was under $100. Not a problem. I had it. So I walk out. A few weeks later get a letter in the mail, secretary, you owe this much. I’m like wtf? But I was still irritated by what a d*** he was. I kind of brushed it off. I didn’t actually care that much. A week or 2 later I get a personal letter from him “hey! Look, you owe this much from your visit. I never thought you would pull this s*** on me, blah, blah” so right away, I called his secretary, explained that I genuinely thought they’d just bill me. I never thought doctors and dental offices were like stores. You pay on the way out the door. I went in, paid it, and didn’t go back again. This was about 2006.

So, I go back in there a few years ago, a bit of an emergency. I give him a shout, at the start of a long weekend, my luck, I need to get in fast, long weekend, this is Friday, it’s probably Tues earliest. All I can do is wait. So I finally get in there and the first thing they make me do is fill out a questionnaire, which is new. Basically a snowflake test. Anxiety? All kinds of things, it was about 30 things, but I had a chuckle to myself because I know, this guy as a dentist has probably dealt with some s*** over the last 15 years with the changes in people, attitudes. Winpiness. Problem patients. He was cool this time. Genuinely cared and he knew I respected him too. Experience. I would trust nobody else. I made it clear, I pay TODAY right?

New Confession

You told me this was the first time you crossed my boundaries. But you’ve forgotten. this is the second. The first was the Kota Kinabalu trip. Japan makes it the second.

Your words have become hard to trust. So many times, you said the trip was confirmed. Then suddenly, you claimed the ticket wasn’t even purchased. I feel like a fool—a fool who kept believing you and your words. Believing that there was nothing between you and her. Believing, for six long years, that we were still something real.

But I was wrong.

We didn’t pass the test of hardships. You failed me. I was burned out. You were facing career loss. Instead of standing by me—or us— we drifted.

Maybe we simply weren’t strong enough when it mattered. It’s sad. But now, at least, the truth is clear. I just hope it isn’t too late for you to see what you’ve really chosen.

Now that you’re semi-retired, you choose to travel—with her. That was the plan all along, wasn’t it? So carefully thought out. So flawlessly executed.

An excellent plan.

And here I am, left behind, still trying to believe in something that never stood a chance. While I was holding on, you were already moving on—emotionally and physically.

I won’t contact you again—not out of spite, but because I need to leave with whatever dignity I have left. I told you before: the moment you chose to cuddle her, or travel one-on-one with her, that would be the end of us.

You’re a well planner.

And I know I deserve better.

Deleted your contact number. And this will be my last message to you because you ended the relationship abruptly and block my messages after. I hope my love for you won’t turn into hatred.
