Dear Bruce,

My ex says he loved me more than anything when we were together, yet he broke up with me over a misunderstanding.

Sincerely,

Miss Understood:

You WIN!

Either a) the two of you had two totally different definitions of “Love”, b) he didn’t want to be with you anymore, and used this “misunderstanding” as an emergency exit, or c) your “misunderstanding” wasn’t really a misunderstanding, and you really fucked up.

In any case, you came out on top.  In the case of option A, you’re incompatible, and it was only a matter of time, or a lifetime of misery.  In the case of option B, so what.  Fuck him.   In the case of option C, well…  Maybe you’ll do better next time.  Pack up everything you’ve learned,  and apply it to the next situation.

Sincerely,

If you have a question you need answered, write in my facebook honesty box, or http://www.formspring.me/brucebriggs –They’re both ANONYMOUS!  Nobody (including me) will know who you really are!
