It’s time for you to dump your significant jerk. In the course of life, as we forge relationships, we meet different people. Sometimes these people are great, and other times they’re the worst mistake we’ve ever made. What happens when you realize that someone you thought would be the love of your life just isn’t.
You let them go.
We don’t get into a relationship thinking it will end terribly. Naturally we hope. We imagine that things will turn out great. That the people we allow into our lives will remain forever. However, when these same people become the very thing that brings endless pain and heartache, we must make a choice, hard as it may be to make. Sometimes letting go is all that can be done.

Remember to use the tag ‘dailywitheli’ so that I can add your story to my word prompt hall of fame. You do not have to attempt all of the prompts. However, if and when inspiration strikes, do follow the muse.
For today’s prompt, we are tackling Flash Fiction. This is a story with 751 to 1500 words. Therefore, as always, try your best to stick within the confines of the word count.
