The Worst Kind
“All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then we still cannot travel in any other way other than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road until the end.”
–Neil Gaiman
The following is an open letter to all assholes in sheep’s clothing.
To Whom it may Concern:
You are the worst kind of asshole.
You are the worst kind of asshole because you, for some unknown reason, are surprisingly unaware of the fact that you are such an asshole.
And so whenever the point comes in a relationship that you become the aforementioned asshole that you really are, the girl is blindsighted.
She never even stood a chance. She is completely unprepared and caught off guard for the inevitable pain that will ensue, and consequently has to cope with her unanswered questions- with no previous knowledge or experience to fall back on for reference on how to handle herself.
Because you see when a girl is dating an asshole, almost all of the time she is very well aware of the fact that she is going to end up hurt and heartbroken. Deep down she knows she is making a bad decision by continuing whatever sort of relationship that is going on, and therefore is slightly prepared for the broken heart she most definitely will have to mend.
However, tbe rest of us highly unlucky and unsuspecting people will have to experience a pain like non-other, which is a pain that is caused when someone gets hurt by an individual that they had thought to be a trustworthy and geniunely good person.
Someone that had professed to have nothing but honerable intentions, someone who would have given no indication to suggest they were anything but a good and decent person.
Once a girl’s heart is broken by this asshole in sheep’s clothing, they begin to question everything. In their mind every single guy that comes into their life from then on, has the potential for becoming that asshole. They have, at that point, been ruined forever. Bitterness most likely will take over, and their default position on dating will always be guarded and insecure.
You have ruined her for life, because you are the worst kind of asshole.
And it’s time that someone told you.
So hopefully in the future you might be more aware of who you really are, and moreover who you really are not, so that you may have the chance to stop giving girls the wrong impression. Perhaps save a few tears.
You freaking asshole.
This is so true in all relationships. I am going through it right now with my ex-fiance. He wont even tell me what happened. He just says “something in him broke” and he doesn’t love me as a partner anymore, just as a good-man, and friend. What does that even mean? How did it change in less than one week? As he said it did!
