You Were Right, I Was Too Good for You

In the beginning, you always joked that I was way out of your league. You would say that I could do better and that you did not deserve me. 

 

I would always say you were crazy and wrong because I wanted to believe it was not true. However, looking back now, I see now just how right you were.

 

You lacked a basic respect for other human beings, you treated people as if they were no better than the dirt you walk on but then expected to be treated like a king in return. 

 

No matter how much I tried to encourage you to be open-minded, you went through life as if the world owed you something. 

 

You thought you deserved all of this greatness but then refused to put in the effort to earn it. You were judgmental; full of yourself and sometimes, just flat out mean.

 

It’s Time to Break the Cycle of Dating Guys We Know We’re Too Good For

Someone asked me once, “Have you gotten out of your cycle yet?”

 

I sat there, puzzled for a second, and then laughed. It wasn’t a cheerful laugh by any means; it was the kind of laugh you make when the joke’s not funny.

 

“No,” I said, “Look who I’m dating now.” I took out my phone and showed my dear friend the picture of the man I was sharing life with.

 

He laughed, the kind of laugh when you find something ironic or horribly dreadful but have no other way to react.

 

I left thinking, ‘how could I allow myself to be in the same cycle of dating trashy guys?!’

 

Here I am, full blown adult, and I’m dating the same type of guy as when I was a teenager. This thought made me sick.

 

I was in a cycle of constantly dating jocks who’s heads were too big for their bodies, who’s anger ruled their life, who couldn’t communicate if life depended on it, and who valued his friends more than his girl.
