I know things didn’t work out between us and I’m sorry that they didn’t, but it wasn’t all my fault. We both made mistakes and bear some of the responsibility — don’t put all the blame on me.

  1. It takes two to tango. The last time I checked, there were two of us involved in our short relationship. It’s easy to point the finger when you have no idea what you’re looking for, but making aggressive and rude digs at me when you don’t even know me well enough to judge me the way that you did isn’t the way to go out with a bang. The moral of the story is that we weren’t right for each other, plain and simple.
  2. I refuse to let you tell your one-sided story. I won’t let you run around and tell your biased version of events. I won’t let you label me as sort of psycho when literally all I did was stand up for myself when you tried to cut my legs off from under me. I guess what they say is true — the lies spread about a woman are usually spread by a guy who can’t have her. I’m sorry you took it so hard.
  3. I tried to be mature but you waved your jerk flag. I really didn’t peg you as the type of guy who would explode on me when I tried to end things peacefully, but you made a poor judgment call when you started to showcase your reaction in the way that you did. In hindsight, I’m glad my gut led me in a direction away from you because it turns out, you really aren’t the guy I’ve been looking for.
  4. There were so many positives but you chose to focus on everything negative. You’ll completely forget to mention all the ways that I was amazing to you. You’ll fail to mention the ways I was thoughtful, the ways I was happy in your company and the ways that I complemented you. Instead, you’re just like every other guy, going straight to the negative and claiming that I’m crazy. How original. Whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy — but we both know the truth and this isn’t all on me.
  5. I actually thought you were a good guy. I was really hopeful that things wouldn’t end in a bitter way with you — you caught me completely by surprise. Perhaps you had me fooled or maybe you just don’t handle rejection well. Either way, I’m disappointed in the way we left things. I thought you were better.
  6. It didn’t need to end this way. It didn’t need to end the way that it did, but despite my best efforts at being reasonable, you left me no choice. We weren’t on the same page, I called a spade a spade and you reacted poorly. I’m sorry that I left you with the feeling that you were under attack; it was never intended that way. Like I said, the moral of the story is just that we weren’t right for each other.
  7. In hindsight, I’m glad it didn’t work out. You showed me who you really were in the blink of an eye and in all honesty, I was pretty taken back by how quickly the nice guy mask came off of your face. It didn’t work out between us for good reason — you’re really not the one for me.
  8. I’m better off without you. Truthfully, it’s pretty clear that we’re better off without each other, and if the ending was any indication of what our relationship challenges would have been like, I feel like I dodged a huge bullet. I wanted more from you, I really did. I’m truly sorry it didn’t work out with us, but stop putting the blame all on me.
