• Statement: We loved spending time together.
    • Reality: As long as there was a clear occasion for it well established in advance. I mean, we really don’t know each other
  • Statement: We never disagreed about anything.
    • Reality: Sure, since we never had to make a serious decision together nor we had the chance to talk about something important (see voting)
  • Statement: We had so much in common.
    • Reality: we had the passion for impro in common and barely that (see improg)
  • Statement: The sex was great.
    • Reality: I never came, there were unbearably long times in which I seriously considered why I hooked up with him and if the first time a day was easy, the rest was a disaster
  • Statement: He looked just like Orlando Bloom.
    • Reality: ok, this is a cheap shot but he is not good looking, by anyone’s standard. I also knew it when we hooked up! It was one of those things that created doubt in me regarding how much we would have lasted!
  • Statement: He was really cool to my friends.
    • Reality: not only he didn’t know my friends but he didn’t want to meet my friends and he probably would have been bored by my friends nerdiness
  • Statement: He was smart, funny, and had great taste in music.
    • Reality: tbh, he is. But lots of my friends are. Even my exes.
  • Statement: I don't even remember why we broke up.
    • Reality: well, that’s easy: he found a twenty something old that looked at him funny
  • Statement: We both wanted kids, dogs, and a minivan.
    • Reality: he was too busy for his own dog, he didn’t want my cats and for babies… well, that would be so problematic it’s not even a good point here!
  • Statement: We never fought about anything.
    • Reality: we never had anything of substance to fight about and he was anyway very much judgmental of my situation (and not his own)
  • Statement: He always did little things to show me he cared.
    • Reality: he barely showed up when we could meet because I was always the one who moved. He never moved for me and, beside the fact that everyone is entitled to have boundaries, it was a shitty thing that made me feel shitty.
  • Statement: He never lied, cheated, or made me feel bad about myself.
    • Reality: he lied, he cheated and he definitely mad me feel shitty about myself. He was sorry for this and for the situation but this does not excuse him.
