He's Just Not That Into You If...

My life has forever been changed. In the past two days I have read two books. These books have offered more insight and wisdom than I ever thought I could absorb in a decade, let alone 4-5 hours. He's Just Not That Into You & It's Called a Breakup Because it's Broken.

If you are single and you have not read these books, then shame on you! Actually I completely understand. A good friend has been trying to get me to read these books for a couple of years now. I kept saying I would when I found the time. I found the time to read several other books, however, I avoided these two in particular. Why, you ask. Well for one I was scared. I knew what these books were going to say. They were going to validate all those thoughts that I kept in the back of mind. They were going to tell me that I was wasting my time on the wrong guys and that I needed to just let go and move on. Guess what....I was right.

The one thing I was wrong about though was how this realization would make me feel. I thought I would feel defeated, sad, mad and lonely. Not true. I feel empowered with this new found knowledge! I now know the signs to look for early on so that I can dump these guys before I become too attached to let go without agonizing over the decision for 6-8 months. Wow, think of all the time I'm going to save! You don't call when you say you will....I guess I wasn't on your mind. You don't do what you say you are going to....well you're an asshole. You only want to see me when you are drunk/don't want to get married/think maybe we should take a break/disappeared for days with no phone call or text/are dating other people....well I guess you just aren't that into me. And that's OK, because I'm not that into you either.

Whenever you are feeling confused or weak, just remember this. Life is hard enough as it is without choosing someone difficult to share it with.
