BREAK-UPS DECODED

There are so many reasons as to why ex-partners break up and part ways with their past significant others. Well, I have managed to decode a few of those logical thoughts, from a female perspective, and translate them into human form, for basic understanding, especially for the sake of the male folk. However, this does not mean that much of the rationale put forth in this creative piece, is the gospel truth. On the contrary, the ground reasons for break-ups shared on this write-up, are majorly based on practical experience of yours truly, on account of having been on the dating scene longer than most, and also being a social observer of the behavioral patterns of mankind. Needless to say, this is a Betty Baijun's still in the wood-works, exclusive female communicative translation manual. Therefore, do not knock it, until you try it.

To all you gentlemen of dating age, when a female tells you that the she decided to part ways amicably with her ex-partner, what she means is that she had long friend-zoned her ex-lover into the ‘let us just be friends with benefits’ box, long before he developed the guts to ask her out, and that the only reason why she complied with his romantic gesture, was simply for a temporary love tangle, which means that he was a safe bet for a rebound connection. That is why, there was no bad blood, or love lost in their short term situationship. As for her lover, well, the opportunity to date her was too good to pass, albeit short lived, yet it was worth his while. Similarly, another possibility for their break up would have been that both parties parted ways, particularly so when they got bored with one another, but were too diplomatic to use the term boring, as a description of their short-lived rendezvous.

Moreover, when you overhear a woman say of her ex-lover that, "He was not my type", what she means is that she dumped him, for the sole reason that her usual type is that tall, dark, and handsome money type, one who is filthy rich, and the kind who can afford her excesses, without a flinch, or batting an eyelid. Hence, her leaving him may have also been strategic, because she might have already bagged a wealthy guy, in the process of dating an average one, and hence was forced to jump ship mid-way, in order to secure the big fish. Another possibility of their break up, would have been that her ex did not do her bidding, and as long as she was not able to wrap that kind of man around her little finger, in a way to control him, then he was automatically disqualified from being her type.

Likewise, gentlemen, when a lady friend says to you concerning her previous partner that, “We did not click", what she means is that, he did not tickle her fancy at all, for the reason that he was as boring, as watching paint dry on a wall. Nonetheless, she did not want to break his heart by stating the obvious. Thus, she gave him a flimsy excuse as to why she was bailing out on him, by gradually bread-crumbing him, until he got the message loud and clear, and proceeded to the nearest exit. Another plausible reason for their break up was that, she did not click with her ex-lover, because she did not appreciate his dry sense of humour, or his constant need to talk in excruciating details, about his career as an Actuary. On the contrary, she would have clicked with someone else more interesting, hence the sudden disinterest in her former partner.

In like manner, when a woman says of her old flame that, "We did not agree on anything", what she means is that her ambitions must have driven her ex-lover up the wall, such that he felt emasculated, got extremely insecure, caved in and called the relationship quits. Indeed, this is a classic case of a hyper independent woman dating an insecure male, who constantly spied on her every move, and when he could not cope with her free spirit vibes, he was forced to dip out of the relationship pre-maturely, instead of sticking to his guns, in order to make their relationship work.  In the same way, when a woman says of her ex-partner that, "We did not see eye to eye", what she means is that their clash of egos was too volatile to be ignored, and since none of them was willing to back down for the other, the relationship died a natural death. This is a common phenomenon, of two alphas, who are batting heads, where dominance is their reward. However, when both mates refuse to compromise, then hell breaks loose, where both parties are forced to part ways, with no room for redemption.

Comparably, when a woman says of her former flame that, "We needed a break", she means she was suffocating inside the toxic relationship, because she could not catch a break to save her life, while she was busy slaving for his love and affection, and since he did not value her enough, to honour her with a ring, if not his love, she was forced to take a step back, allow him to miss her enough for him to come back to his senses, and wife her up immediately. Equivalently, when a woman says of her ex-partner that, "We parted ways, citing irreconcilable differences", what she means is that, if that man dared to come five inches of her face, she would blast him to smithereens. This phrase, irreconcilable differences, basically means, "Stay away from me, if you know what is good for you!" It is anger, mixed with rage, plus temporary insanity, which makes for a lethal weapon. Even legalists will quickly tell you that, that phrase is also for their own protection, just in case things, meaning court proceedings, go south, because of heated arguments and fights between former lovers, turned haters.

Lastly, I would like to reiterate that whatever information that I have shared with you, should not be considered as the gospel truth. As a matter of fact, I am just sharing my own sentiments, with regards to relationships. In other words, this is my own perspective, added to my own personal experience, to make a juicy mix of this subjective creative piece of writing.
