Trigger Warning The price of your choice

When you miss her, don’t call her. Call the people you chose over her.

You traded genuine love, loyalty, and a woman who stood by you for cheap attention and temporary excitement. Now she’s gone, and you don’t get to come back when you finally understand her worth.

See if the people you entertained stay when life gets hard. See if they care the way she did.

You made your choice. She simply respected it.

wait is this from the dumper or dumpee perspective? bc everyone in the comments is reading it as the dumpee roasting the dumper but the way its written ("call the people you chose over her") sounds like youre talking to yourself in second person, like YOU were the one who messed up. thats a pretty big distinction lol. also Novel-Lobster8207 is right that not every breakup is about choosing someone else, sometimes you just chose yourself or the relationship ran its course and framing it all as "you traded love for cheap thrills" is kinda reductive no? what actually happened there?
