About This Quote

People don’t break up because someone’s family is a little . . . messy.

If that were the case, no one would ever get married. This is a common misconception people have about marriage and family, especially those who are not from traditional backgrounds. In reality, this is not what they’re breaking up about.

Instead, it’s about themselves. It’s about their need to be perfect and to avoid any mistakes they may make in life. It’s a sign of insecurity and a belief that they aren’t good enough for anyone or that they can never be happy or satisfied with someone they love.
