A girl finds out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her.
She confronts him and he gives the following pathetic reply:
I was going to tell you myself
He says it as if this unverified presence of intent will be his salvation.
What a feeble and infuriating excuse.
It immediately triggers the response:
So, why didn’t you?
At the risk of sounding too harsh, intentions don’t cut it.
We can’t mind read so plans to communicate don’t count.
If the potential pain of a difficult conversation keeps you from much needed relationship maintenance then that relationship is terminally ill.
