Jens Lekman - I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You
When your internal life gets fully wrapped up in someone else’s, it can be hard to mentally separate your identity from theirs, but that’s entire point of ending things. So remember, you are taking the action of ending things for reasons of your own. You don’t need their approval or agreement. Similarly, things are not ending because your partner did something wrong. (I mean, I’m sure they did, but it’s all about the framing.) They are ending because you are no longer putting up with the thing/things they did. You can only control yourself, so explain things to reflect this. “I’m moving out because I no longer find this relationship fulfilling” is different from “I’m moving out because you suck so badly.”
