"Love Gone Wrong"

Sometimes love doesn't go as planned. When that happens, we don't get those sweet words of adoration but we get instead words of sour contemplation. How easily the object of our affection can become the object of our anger when love is not returned as hoped and expected.  One of our readers, Rachel, sent this wonderfully open and horribly misspelled anti-love letter as a contribution to this issue's LOVE theme to show what happens when Love Goes Wrong!

Headline
  Rachel,

You may or may not have been talking you'r shit about me.

You said you did'nt I don't know. But why would Ben make
up something like that. It does'nt suprise me if you did. It
has'nt been the first. Other people said that you compare
me to JOHNATHAN. Listen I know I'm not as fine, funny,
smart, perfect as him. You told me it does'nt matter. I
guess it does. If you want to break up w/ me because I'm
not
perfect like Pretty Boy then go ahead. This may be my
last
letter as you'r boyfriend if you'r going to break up
w/ me.
So I just want you to know that I love more than
anything.
And you mean the world to me. Aand I'm sorry
I was'nt born
like P.B or any of you'r dream boys.

I LOVE YOU
