THE SAD TRUTH

As embarrassing as it might be to admit it, when a serious, long-term ex starts sleeping with a friend, we're reminded of just how empty and depressing serial monogamy can be.

Despite our best intentions, we feel like shit. Surely it wasn't meant to be this way! Our memories are no longer ours! We're adrift in a sea of empty, transient relationships! Nothing is permanent or lasting!

Or maybe we're just being pathetic. It's so hard to tell.

Look on the bright side: the more this kind of crap happens, the more right you have to be bitter. After all, bitterness becomes you.

Literally.
