The Perils of Over-Explanation

Breakups often leave individuals grappling with a multitude of unanswered questions, fueling frustration and self-doubt. However, in contrast to the norm, one person finds themselves in a peculiar position where clarity may not be as welcome as expected.

Instead of being plagued by uncertainty, this individual receives a detailed list outlining their perceived flaws and shortcomings. While some may yearn for closure, the sheer specificity of the critique could easily become overwhelming. In such instances, the simplicity of the classic "it's not you, it's me" might have offered a gentler exit strategy.
