An "It's Not You, It's Me"

Guys do this thing, where they say you deserve someone better. Sure, it's a compliment to you and your personality and your capabilities. They think you deserve a handsome, wonderful man who will always make time for you and never lie to you and cherish you above all else and never lose their temper and always do right by you despite their own feelings and basically they're saying what you deserve is a superhuman demigod who doesn't exist.

So yes, it's a compliment of a sort to have someone think you deserve a better guy. But as I get older it sounds more and more like an excuse. It doesn't sound like "You deserve someone better" any more, it sounds like "I can't be bothered to improve myself enough to feel like I semi deserve you". And at that point this pedestal they put you on doesn't feel like a pedestal any more.


It feels like a cage.
