It’s not you, it’s me! Literally, I’ve outgrown you, and I want to move on.

Moving on? It’s a Herculean task for many. We’re trapped in a society obsessed with reality TV and social media drama, where everyone is itching for a fight or hunting for the latest scandal to use against you. And let’s be real: as a guy in America, society dictates that you can’t just walk away from a relationship. It’s absurd—your life could be on the line, yet you’re expected to stick around, and if things go south, well, that’s just tough luck!

I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?

I can’t wrap my head around this; as men, we’re trapped in relationships with no escape. If we dare to seek freedom, we’re met with harassment and stalking from our partners, and shockingly, it’s been accepted as the norm. Every guy is painted as a cheater or an abuser, but what about when you’ve outgrown your wife and know deep down that the relationship is toast? The agony of being with someone who just doesn’t understand you is a burden far too many men bear.

What if it’s not about another woman, but rather about your personal growth and changing perspective? I truly understand that seeking new experiences can be valuable, but if you’ve genuinely matured and don’t feel a connection anymore, it’s important to acknowledge that and consider moving forward. However, I recognize that with social media’s pervasive nature, your former wife may still keep an eye on you, and you could find yourself unfairly labeled as the villain, especially in the eyes of those who experienced a similar heartbreak as she did.

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” — Albert Einstein

It is often observed that individuals are drawn to those who share similarities with them. However, I firmly believe that if you have outgrown your spouse, it is essential to part ways. There is, however, one crucial exception to this perspective: if children are involved. In the absence of children, I strongly advise you to leave and not return if the relationship has become untenable and you find yourselves incompatible.

Life gets a hell of a lot easier when you cut ties with those who just don’t get you. They say two negatives create a positive; I say if you hit a negative wall, do whatever it takes to escape that mess. Being told you’re not good enough? That stings, but guess what? It can fuel your growth. Breakups? Often, they’re a blessing in disguise because the right person is just waiting to sweep you off your feet.

“The key to a successful career is to find the right balance between hard work and the ability to enjoy the ride.” — Gene Hackman

Hey, for those of you who don’t agree with me, think about this: what if you had to go home to someone who drives you crazy and you just clash? Would you stick around when things only seem to go downhill? From what I’ve seen in life, tough situations rarely get better; they just get worse. So, in the end, life’s already tough enough, so why waste your time in a stressful mess that isn’t doing you any good?

Thank You
