Just Tell The Truth

Whether you’re the one receiving or giving the news of a break up just be honest man.

If you’re on the giving side and you did something shitty don’t hide it people talk and word gets around. If you ever really cared about that person save them the second heartbreak and just tell them you did something shitty let them move on and cope accordingly. Stop with the “I don’t want to hurt you” or the “I wanted to spare your feelings.” Getting broken up with sucks enough figuring out a few weeks later from a mutual friend that you cheated right before their birthday sucks even more. RIP THE FUCKING BANDAID OFF. You made your decision you want out stop lying, stop sparing feelings, get the fuck out and tell the freaking truth.

If you’re on the receiving end. Reflect man. Yeah they suck you lived them, you didn’t want it to end, you wanted to spend the rest of your life with them whatever. That person was not perfect and neither are you. Take the time figure yourself out, figure out what you want, figure out your own toxic traits. It sucks it’s always going to suck if it’s a long term relationship it sucks even more but that’s life dude learn from it. Take 20 go outside cuss out the world then go touch some grass go back inside and get your shit together. Let’s be honest if you were meant to be together you would be but you’re not and it’s fine the world will not end and you’re gonna find someone better. If you don’t believe that statement it’s because you’re still lying to yourself that that someone better is another person when in reality it’s yourself. You are your own #1 forever and always. Start putting yourself on the same pedestal you would put them on and learn to love yourself.

Apologies for the rant but ex finally moved out after months of my own wallowing and for the first time I actually feel slightly whole again. Hopefully this hits someone the same way this realization hit me.
