The Harsh Reminder You Need About Your Toxic Ex To Knock Sense Into You

The Harsh Reminder You Need About Your Toxic Ex To Knock Sense Into You

CANCER: He isn’t sorry he hurt you. He’s sorry you’re not around to feed his ego anymore.

By

Aries

Texting him would be stupid. You don’t need to talk to him. You need to forget about him.

Taurus

He hasn’t learned anything. He’s the exact same person. Giving him another chance is a recipe for heartbreak.

Gemini

He isn’t sorry he hurt you. He’s sorry you’re not around to feed his ego anymore.

Aquarius

He’s not thinking about you. He’s never thinking about you. He only thinks about himself.

Pisces

He broke your fucking heart. He doesn’t deserve another poem. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
