"You cannot live in fantasy land. Life is not that interesting. You need money to do the things you want. That only comes from hard work. What's going to happen to you when your money runs out?"
"He's not coming back. It's not realistic for him to leave his wife. The only reason online dating doesn't work for you is because you haven't really tried it yet."
Tell yourself he's changed
You tell yourself he's coming back
That you've worked on yourself
You're better, that he's better, whether you like it or not
She's coming, whether you like it or not

Told yourself that you can keep him
You've become complacent, thinking the social bonds around you are permanent, that people are constant, not fickle beings
You'll see that she's everything you're not, and better than you
She'll make more money than you
Cook better than you
She'll talk in an annoying high voice and act like an idiot sometimes,
He'll give his sperm to her, not you
