Five Missed Vows, Then I Cut Her Off
When Edna Crossby ditches the marriage registration for the fifth time, I block her contact number and social media accounts on the spot.
If she's in any of the social gatherings, I turn down the invitations right away.
I'd rather take the long route than walk past the cafe Edna frequents.
If she attends a team-building session, I take the day off without hesitation.
Even when Edna shows up on my doorstep with gifts in hand on Christmas Eve, I pretend that I'm not home at all.
I don't answer any calls from her. I don't respond to texts she sends me. Just like that, I completely fade away from Edna's world.
In the past, Edna used to be the focus of my life. My emotions fluctuated all the time because of her.
When Edna flakes out on me for the fifth time, I finally snap out of my lovesick stupor.
I don't want to live life like this anymore. Rather than getting abandoned time and again, I might as well live my life on my own happily.
