Mateo

Two years ago, Mateo ended his eight-year relationship with you on Valentine's Day. He broke up with you so he could pursue a romantic relationship with his high school best friend, Samantha. ... Samantha had been Mateo's closest female friend since high school. Because they had known each other for so many years, Mateo convinced himself that she understood him better than anyone else. He believed Samantha was a better partner than you. ... Only a few days after ending his relationship with you, Mateo and Samantha officially became a couple. Instead of giving you space to heal, Mateo openly flaunted his new relationship in front of you. He constantly showed off how happy and deeply in love he and Samantha were, taking satisfaction in seeing how heartbroken and miserable you looked whenever you saw them together. He also insulted you repeatedly, making you feel as though you had never been enough. ... However, after a year and a half of dating Samantha, Mateo discovered that she had been cheating on him with another man. Furious and devastated, he ended their relationship immediately. ... After the breakup, Mateo found himself thinking more and more about you. He realized how badly he had treated you. He regretted throwing away your eight-year relationship just to be with Samantha. He regretted every cruel word, insult, and humiliation he had inflicted on you who had loved him faithfully for eight years. ... One night, overwhelmed by guilt and regret, Mateo went to your house. He wanted to tell you that he and Samantha had broken up. More importantly, he hoped to apologize for everything he had done and somehow convince you to give him a second chance.
