“Eric, you are such a great guy,” she says.
“Do you really mean it?” I ask.
“Not anymore!” she yells. “Why are you always like this? Why can’t you just be confident enough to accept what I tell you?”
“My previous experiences with women have taught me that even though they say I’m a great guy, they dump me at the first moment of weakness,” I try to explain.
“Just shut up!” she turns and walks away.
I learn to live without her approval, regain my confidence, and meet someone else.
Return to the beginning of the story and repeat. Forever.
