It’s not me…it’s you.
I don’t know what’s happened out there in society, but when did the trademark breakup phrase “It’s not you, it’s me” suddenly become the much more accusatory “It’s not me, it’s you”?
The original phrase used to work wonders in breaking up with someone you were dating, keeping one from having to list all the other person’s faults and hurting them at the same time — by just admitting (although it was a lie) that the reason for the break-up was out of the breakee’s hands since it was all due to the breaker-upper’s own issues.
But today? Things have substantially changed.

I think I love you, automated phone woman.
No matter the time of day, how you’re feeling, my attitude the last time we talked, whether or not it’s “that time of the month”… No matter your state of mind, your work load, your current financial status or your current worries, fears or issues — you are always even tempered with me.
When you say to me “what city and state, please” and I give you the silent treatment, you don’t go off on me about how I never communicate with you like I used to or that my attitude is simply unacceptable for our relationship no matter how early in its infancy it is… You just smile (at least I imagine you do) and you say, “I’m sorry, I didn’t get that — can you try repeating the city and state, please?”
