Perfect except for one thing
Realizing that one incompatibility, one fundamental difference, is enough to end something otherwise beautiful
We were 99% perfect. The chemistry, the values, the life we built together—it all worked. Except for that one thing, that one non-negotiable that neither of us could compromise on. And that 1% is costing us everything. [ What I'm Grateful For ] Thank you for showing me what partnership can look like. Thank you for the years of near-perfection, for proving that my standards aren't impossible, that someone can meet almost all of them. You raised my bar while breaking my heart. [ The Goodbye & The Wish ] I hope you find your 100%. I hope you meet someone who has everything I had, plus the one thing I couldn't give you. You deserve perfection, not almost. And so do I. This is the hardest goodbye, because there's no villain, no clear reason—just an impossible situation with no winner.
