Introduction

In an inspiring episode of the podcast 'A Letter to Myself,' Singaporean actress and playwright Aidli Mosbit opens up about her transformative journey of finding love after leaving an 11-year relationship with a possessive ex-boyfriend. This is not just a story of heartbreak; it is a testament to resilience, self-discovery, and embracing unexpected opportunities for love.

The Theatre and Personal Life of Aidli Mosbit

By the age of 48, Aidli had carved a niche for herself in Singapore’s vibrant theatre culture, known for her compelling performances and creative storytelling. However, her personal life tells a different story—a tale of enduring toxicity and eventual liberation.

A Toxic Relationship

Aidli's relationship with a younger partner began to falter as possessiveness crept in. She recounted the painful moments: 'He was controlling my life, dictating my friendships and social interactions. I started to doubt my own instincts.' Despite the evident red flags, Aidli held onto the hope that years of shared history meant they belonged together.

The Turning Point

The relationship culminated in a pivotal moment when she proposed marriage—a simple question that revealed the chasm between their dreams: 'When I asked, 'Will you marry me?' he dismissed the idea completely.' This reaction illuminated a truth she could no longer ignore: she deserved more.

Unexpected Love: Meeting Lezan Ariffin

Enter Lezan Ariffin, an ex-prison inmate whose life had intersected with Aidli's in a surprising way. After watching a recording of one of her solo performances as part of a prison outreach program, Lezan felt an immediate connection. Years later, he sent her a Facebook friend request with a cryptic message: 'I remember you.'

A Unique Start

Curious yet cautious, Aidli responded and was taken aback by his blunt message: 'In the prison.' Their quirky start blossomed into a meaningful relationship that neither expected. They lovingly refer to themselves as 'late bloomers,' reveling in the fact that they discovered true love in their 40s and 50s.

A New Beginning

Aidli has found in Lezan the companionship she yearned for—sharing laughter, mutual support, and respect, elements that had long been absent from her previous relationship. 'I actually manifested him,' she reveals, highlighting the importance of knowing what she truly wanted.

Happily Married

Now happily married, Aidli is sharing her story in the podcast 'A Letter to Myself,' hosted by Joel Chua. The show features individuals from all walks of life sharing extraordinary lessons. Aidli's journey reminds us that love can arrive unexpectedly, often when we are ready to embrace it after overcoming past hardships.

Empowering Messages for the Future

As Aidli reflects on her journey, she conveys a powerful message to her younger self: 'Trust your instincts, and don’t be afraid to walk away from what no longer serves you.' This story serves as an inspiration to anyone navigating the turbulent waters of love and personal growth.
