It's Not You, It's Me

Classic. Truly a classic.

Five words that have ended more relationships than cheating, bad timing, and irreconcilable differences combined. Five words that are specifically designed to sound kind while doing absolutely zero heavy lifting. Five words that somehow make YOU feel like you should be grateful for how they said it.

It's not you. It's them. They just need to figure some things out. They're not in the right place right now. They care about you so much which is exactly why they're doing this. You'll understand someday. You deserve better. They hope you find happiness.

Translation: they already found someone else, they're scared, or they simply got bored and didn't have the spine to say so.

Cold on the surface. Warm underneath where they still want you to miss them. Exactly like the speech itself.

Slap that baby in your warmer since you can't slap the man. And maybe finally accept that "it's not you" was actually the most honest thing they ever said... because baby, you were never the problem.
