Last week I ended my 9 month relationship but one thing that stayed with me was how she dropped the bomb.
I asked her to come over and she replied "Neil... I'm in love with someone else".
I handled it right (replying "I know, remember?") and I spun her back to being romantic, but I'm now thinking about this and wondering: why would she TRY to make this as painful as possible?
It wasn't even true, she was talking about a 21 year old guy who she knew since age 13, lived with for a month, was dating for a week, and hadn't had sex with yet. So she was exaggerating in the direction that would hurt me more (normally they try to candy coat reality and let you down easy). That would be like my saying this to her, but referring to this 20 year old I saw 3 times this week. You can't be in love that fast.
This might just be her resenting me for saying LJBF two weeks earlier and blowing her off the previous weekend (proof that she had high interest), and it might be because she's overwhelmed between getting divorced and relocating (when I go through moves I find myself screaming at everyone who I can scream at, as in we hurt the people who love us, because of the stress) but it also might be something I can't forgive her for.
Why would a girl try to hurt me as she ended it?
