Listen for the Lie

by Amy Tintera

Men are such babies. They’re too scared to actually break up with you, so they just get mean or fade away until you get mad and dump them.

I guess it’s mostly women who do it. But sometimes you meet a girl who is just, like, your soulmate. Not in a romantic way, but in a friend way. Which can almost be more intense. You could tell that Savvy and Lucy were in one of those intense friend-soulmate relationships.

I’ll never understand why they’re still married. I thought for sure that they were just waiting for me to move out before they split,

Relatable lol

“I should have controlled my temper,” I said softly. I should have just cried. Taken the hits and crawled away to show my scars. I should have been a better victim. The truth doesn’t matter if you fight back.

“My life vastly improved once both those men were gone. Men don’t protect us, not really. They only protect themselves, or each other. The only thing men ever protected me from was happiness.”

“I didn’t accuse him of anything. I just told everyone about the horrible things he said. If he didn’t want them out there, he shouldn’t have said them.”

the person I most wanted to talk to was Lucy Chase. Ben: Even though you’d never met her? Julia: Yeah. And that’s weird, right? No second wife wants to talk to the first wife.

Also relatable lol

He drove you to the brink of your sanity and then blamed you for doing what you had to do to survive.

I certainly was unhappy, but I had loved Matt. It was why I hated him so much. Because I’d been madly in love with him at one point, and he hadn’t beaten it all out of me yet.
