This Is Why They Call Me A Heartbreaker

Do you really want to know why women leave?

We leave because of the gnawing little voice in the back of our heads that says we deserve better or that you deserve better.

We leave because even after we told you how a particular aspect of the relationship was affecting us, it stayed the same. Valid or not, it was a deal breaker.

We leave because we are a little screwed up and that in combination with your “little screwed up” is too much to handle.

We leave because we don’t love you anymore or we love ourselves more. We may have at one time thought you were the center of our universe but that time passed and now we just feel empty. We might be fond but you don’t rock our world.

We leave because hurting you further makes us feel horrible. I don’t want to spend my time wasting yours. And I don’t want to feel like a parasite because leaving you might cause hurt feelings.

In the end, you get the better deal. I could never love you like you deserve, even if you tried to fix whatever the deal breaker was, it is still too late. I checked out and I can’t check back in.

Simplistically- this is why women leave.
