Dear Shelly:

I would add to your note right after “I’m hurt and bitter because you gave me empty promises”- here I would specify the promises, what they were word by word if you can, list them: You promised me this: “…” and this: “…” repeatedly (if you can remember how many times or where and when, state it shortly.

Second input: I would delete the last two lines, from: “You say you are still angry with me!” to the end. Maybe you can re-write it, but don’t tell him he dwells far too long on anything, that is unfair criticism… something you probably do too! Also, maybe just stick to the two points you made: that he never allowed you to finish what you say (never, or often?) and that he broke his promises. More points made may take away from the power of the first two points, each of which is very significant.
