It's been a tough decision, but I had to break up with Ron. Our relationship was becoming more and more strained as the days went by. Ron's jealousy and laziness were starting to take a toll on our once happy partnership.
I couldn't believe it when I found out that he cheated on me with Lavender Brown. The betrayal cut deep, and what hurt even more was his feeble attempt to blame it all on me. How could he do this to us?
Seeing him now with Lavender in the common room, kissing passionately like there's no tomorrow, only adds salt to the wound. It's painful beyond words.
I still love Ron, despite everything that has happened between us. But I can't continue in a relationship where trust has been shattered so completely.
Perhaps asking out Cormac McLaggen would be my way of moving forward and letting go of what we had together - maybe even annoy Ron a little bit in the process.
It's hard not having him by my side anymore, but I know deep down that breaking up was the right thing to do for both of us...even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
I'll miss our late-night study sessions and shared laughter over Butterbeer at Hogsmeade weekends...but life must go on.
Hopefully time will heal these wounds and bring clarity to why things ended between us.
