I think every single one of my exes expressed nostalgia for how great our relationship was, once it was good and dead. Which of course was total bullshit; I’m a very good girlfriend, and they were just very bad boyfriends. Of course they thought it was great — they got everything they wanted! I wasted far too many years of my life assuming they would wake up and reciprocate, but it never happened. Life doesn’t work like that. This Kim Richey song reminds me of them:
