Katie stood looking out of her hotel room window the scenery was beautiful and she told herself that today would be the day that she finally got out and enjoyed it. As she looked out the window, she thought about her life and recent events. She had been in a relationship for years and it had recently ended. This vacation was supposed to be her way to get over it. The problem was that she had spent the past few days not leaving the room and thinking about her ex.
Things had been great at first, they were best friends for about a year before they had started dating, she had always been attracted to him, but was afraid to say anything for fear of ruining her friendship. When they had begun dating she was ecstatic. Things seemed great between the two of them, they always spent all of their time together and were always having fun, but when he had lost his job things began to change.
Somehow it seemed that he blamed Katie for losing his job. Katie knew that he was simply looking for somewhere to place the blame and it really didn’t bother her that it had landed on her. She felt very sorry for him because she knew how much he loved the job and that he did not think he would ever be able to find another like it.
The two of them lived in a small town and jobs like that simply did not exist. Katie had thought that things were getting back to normal between the two of them when he had found a new job, but as it turned out he began focusing more on the job than on her. He began working late hours, not spending any time with her and before long she didn’t even feel like she was in a relationship.
Katie thought that she was in love, but when she found out that he had been cheating on her since he had started his new job she refused to stay with him any longer. Katie had confronted him about hit, having hard proof that he had cheated, but he still denied it. When she showed him the proof he realized that he was caught and that she knew he had been lying to her.
He had tried to get back together several times and that was why she had to get away. She knew that she could not move on with her life if he continued to act like they were still in a relationship. He would show up at her job and bring her lunch, send flowers to her at home and leave sweet messages on her phone for her to find when she woke up in the mornings.
Katie felt sorry for him, but she no longer had love for him. She had to get away so that she could get on with her life and so that he could get on with his. Katie smiled as she thought about her future. She felt as if she were in control and that she could do anything that she wanted.
She was proud of herself for not taking her ex back, she felt as if she was growing as a person and that she was realizing her value as a woman. In the past, she would have taken someone back that had cheated on her simply because she did not want to be alone, but as Katie looked at the beautiful sunrise in the distance she knew she was strong enough to handle anything.
Katie turned and walked toward the bathroom of her hotel room and wondered what the future had in store for her. She gathered all of her supplies for her shower and thought about her past, the men that she had dated and vowed those days were behind her.
As Katie stepped into the shower, she thought about what she really wanted in life. She thought about the type of man that she would want to spend the rest of her life with. Katie was not the type of woman to go out and look for a man, she knew that eventually one would come to her that would be perfect for her, but she realized that she had not determined what perfect for her would be.
One thing that she knew was that she wanted a man that did not put anything before her. She also wanted one that was honest and caring as well as loyal. For now she just wanted to be happy on her own and enjoy her vacation.
She stepped out of the shower and looked in the fogged up mirror as she dried her body. She did not understand why her ex had cheated on her and that was probably the thing that had affected her the most. She always tried to stay in shape and tried to take care of her body. She always made sure that her hair was done, her nails were polished and that her makeup was perfect.
She had thought at first that it had to be something that had been wrong with her that had caused him to cheat, but as the days went by she began to realize that it had nothing to do with her but had to do with who he was as a person. That did not stop her from questioning herself occasionally, judging her body or losing confidence in who she was. Each time she had to remind herself that she had done everything that she could to ensure the relationship was successful and that the fault was not with her.
