Don’t Act Like You Walked Away Because ‘I Deserved Better’
By Holly Riordan
Don’t act like you are doing me a favor by leaving. Don’t talk about how you are unable to give me what I need and how you love me enough to leave so I can find someone who fits me better. That is bullshit.
You are perfectly capable of giving me those things, but you are choosing not to. You are choosing to break my heart instead. You are choosing to pick the laziest option possible.
You might think you are doing the right thing, but you are really doing the easy thing. It’s easier to walk away from me than to change your behavior. It’s easier to give up on us than to fight for us. You are taking the easy way out and trying to sound heroic.
I am not going to thank you for leaving me. I am not going to be okay with you walking away just because you have some BS excuse about how my happiness is the most important thing to you. If that were the truth, then you would be working harder to bring me happiness. You wouldn’t be doing this to me. You wouldn’t be putting me through this pain.
Don’t act like you care about me when your actions say the opposite. Don’t try to blame this breakup on me. Don’t make yourself feel better by pretending I am going to be so much happier once you are gone.
