![]() There’s no way to make sure that your ex doesn’t feel bad about the breakup. Yes, obviously, be polite when you break up. And one of the things that a breakup necessarily invites is now you’re going to both walk away with two different stories. I’ve said this before, but like when you break up with someone, it is in part because you can no longer agree on a narrative of your relationship. And that’s sort of antithetical to the project of breaking up. Speaker 1: It is a fantasy to think I can break up with someone and control how they think about our breakup. Speaker 1: I have such a short answer for this letter writer that I don’t think they’re going to like. How can I break up with him without making it about his worth and only about our incompatibility? ![]() But I know this is going to reinforce all the jealousy and insecurity he’s felt through this whole relationship and be devastating to his self-esteem. I’m fully itching to get out into the world and meet new people and hopefully have sex. And I’m not the kind of person who can give constant validation and cheerfully deal with constant accusations of cheating. We spent almost two years together in the same apartment, and now I know enough about him to see that we’re not going to last. Speaker 3: We moved in together during the shelter in place, part of the pandemic in 2020, and I’ve been falling out of love with him, not because there’s anything wrong with him or that I think I’m too good for him. So I’m conforming to what his family has always said. The problem is, now I feel like I can’t leave him around. I spend a lot of time over our relationship reassuring him that I love him and I’m not cheating. One of the ways they tear him down is by telling him I’m too good for him and believe him. My current boyfriend is from a verbally abusive family who have made him feel worthless and insecure. And I’m wondering if you would be so good as to read our first letter? Speaker 1: We should advise some people and not just talk about theme restaurants. Are you familiar? Have you been? I know that there’s a medieval times in Toronto. And I got to go last week, and it was the same menu that I remembered from the fourth grade. And it was the the new unionized castle, the first Medieval Times Castle has unionized in New Jersey. Speaker 1: I am also in an especially good mood because since the last time I recorded the show, I made my first trip to medieval times since the fourth grade. Speaker 3: What? You did me a solid, so thanks. Speaker 1: It was solely so that people wouldn’t make us up. Speaker 2: Well, I hope it helps that I transitioned. Speaker 3: And then I would be so happy to be to be in your company, but also like jealous. You know, I would read your stuff and be like, Oh, this is way better than mine. ![]() And it’s always nice to be to be lumped in with somebody who you also admire. Speaker 3: Two are the these are my faves and stuff. ![]()
