When I dread instead of look forward to seeing you.
When I feel perpetually exhausted.
When nothing seems to get resolved without high-octane drama.
When the reasons for the relationship are internal. It’s not that I love you, it’s that I’m lonely.
When what you think I mean is not at all what I said, and this happens systematically.
Or when you say that’s not what you said, and I know that you did, and this happens systematically.
When you mistreat me: raise your voice, gaslight me, play games, twist words.
When we want different things.
When despite our efforts, we are fundamentally incompatible.
When there is an absence of trust.
When anything in our dynamic is hurting either your life or mine.
When my life is not interesting to you – or yours to me.
When I don’t like who I am when I am with you.
When the only time we truly connect is when we have sex. And that’s great but I want connection everywhere. Everywhere.
When the most you can give me is less than what I need.
After you’ve clearly stated that you cannot love me.
