What's Wrong with You?

I hate it when I break up with a guy and he asks me what he did wrong.

Who says you did anything wrong? Maybe I just don't like you.
Maybe I do like you, but I don't like you enough to want to be called by your name.

What do you think a woman is? A prize to be won by following a precise set of directions like some stuffed toy in a carnival game? Do you think that if you follow all the rules and all the steps the result will be that any girl will want to marry you?
Do you know that every person has a step so unique that people can be identified just by their gait?

We're human.
This is a relationship, and it isn't working out.
It isn't you, and it isn't me; it's us.
We don't work.

What do you consider 'wrong' anyway? Something you did that I didn't like?
Say there were something you had done wrong.
Had you not done it would I then be obligated to love you?
Is my love mere recompense for your effort to follow all the rules to please me?

Anyway, who cares if I don't like something about you? Maybe someone else will. What's wrong to me may be right to someone else, and you should keep that because she's the one who's going to be your wife.
Maybe you should stop judging yourself based on the opinions of random girls who don't know you (such as myself) and begin to consider whether or not you like your behaviour.

And why do you assume that if I break up with you it must be because of something you did?
Maybe it was because of something I did.
Maybe I recognize that by no fault of yours, being with you brings out my worst qualities and, while I like you, I don't like myself when I'm around you.

Y'know what you did wrong?
You asked that question.
