So funny, how people often assume that the one breaking things off isn't hurting as well... I've been the one breaking things off more often than the other way around... but it hurt like hell! Not just knowing you're gonna create a situation that causes pain in others. But because I had a reason to break things off. I was hurting at least months before the time had come to break things off. Because there were reasons I couldn't be with this person. It's not always "sorry, not into it anymore"... So thanks for writing this post.
The timing of this post is crazy. Broke up with my first boyfriend a couple months ago and had the exact same thoughts going through my head.
Aw I’m glad it resonated!!
I didn't break many hearts but I always felt awful when I did. 😭🫶🏻 But you are absolutely right about people building up false images on both sides.
Yeah it’s so easy to do! 🫶🏻
