Dear Breakup Girl,
My boyfriend broke up with me because I was "too nice." Do you
think that this was the real reason, orjust an excuse?
-- Tu Nice
Dear Tu Nice,
Either (1) he has some sort of I'm Not Worthy issue that causes him to
believe that he really only deserves to date the Linda Tripps of the world, or
(2) it's not so much an excuse as a default thing to say, a lite sugar-coating.
Never mind the "too;" at least, either way, he thinks you're nice --
which, arguably, is better than thinking you're Satan (or, worse,
"terrific"). I realize neither he nor Breakup Girl has given you much
to work with, but honestly, it's not worth dwelling on. Mainly, I wanted to let
guys know that WOMEN GET THE "TOO NICE" THING TOO. So there.
Love,
Breakup Girl
