Se vuole andarsene, tenetegli la porta aperta

C'è una donna là fuori che non è mai stata lasciata? No, non c'è.

One way or another, there’s always a man in every woman’s life who decides not to stay.

It’s heartbreaking and seems like the worst possible outcome at that particular moment but trust me on this one—it isn’t.

Any one man who can’t find a reason to stay on his own is not worth persuading otherwise.

Potreste essere tentati di provare a dimostrargli che si sbaglia. Potreste voler elencare tutti i momenti più belli che avete vissuto insieme.

You might even try to show him how good you are for him so he doesn’t leave you.

Don’t!

If he’s leaving you for another woman, you might want to try and prove to him that you’re the better one.

There’s a chance you’ll want to show him just how wrong she is for him and how you are the one who fulfills him beautifully.

Don’t!

He was there for all of it. He didn’t go anywhere, he wasn’t in a freaking coma. He remembers, trust me.

Tutto ciò che è accaduto nella vostra relazione è chiaro a lui come a voi.

There’s no way you should try and tell him a lovely story of how things could get better for the two of you.

Se volesse rimanere, lo farebbe.

If he thought all the romantic nights, all the days filled with love, all the amazing things you’ve done for him and all the gentle ways you took care of him were enough, he wouldn’t think about leaving.

No, don’t start thinking about how he loves you deep inside, in his own way. That’s a huge trap you’ll fall right into.

If he loved you, he wouldn’t be leaving.

He has a right to leave. You can’t control that—always remember this.

You can’t control him but you can and you should control yourself. Control your thoughts and your behavior.

Don’t let yourself become a toxic, obsessive shadow of who you were before.

You don’t want to chase him. That shouldn’t even be an option. You don’t want to be with anyone who doesn’t want to be with you.

Why waste your precious time on somebody who doesn’t give a damn?

Mettetevi nei suoi panni. A volte una donna lascia un uomo perché non sopporta più di essere ferita.

That’s why you might imagine that all he needs is a bit more persuasion to stay with you.

You should know that men rarely do that. If he’s out, he’s out. There’s no point in holding him back.

Don’t even think about trying to be better for him just so you can keep him. There’s no happiness in changing who you are for anyone.

The right guy will love everything about you. The right guy won’t think about leaving. The right guy won’t need you to change anything to make him stay.

Don’t you dare blame yourself. Just because one guy doesn’t have an appreciation for who you are doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

Don’t think about whether he’ll come back eventually. Just don’t go there.

Prendete in mano la vostra vita. Pensate a tutte le cose positive che derivano da questa rottura.

Fate le valigie e poi buttatelo fuori. Prendetevi del tempo per elaborare il lutto e superarlo. Prendete tutto quello che potete da questa esperienza.

Prendete tutto ciò che vi rende migliori. Prendete tutto ciò che vi aiuterà ad apprezzare l'uomo giusto quando arriverà.

Lasciate ogni deprimente, triste, piccolo dettaglio che non farà altro che farvi impazzire, chiedendovi dove sia andato male.

Se vuole andarsene, lasciatelo andare.

Niente di quello che fai può cambiare la sua decisione e anche se lo fa, è davvero qualcosa che vuoi? Sentire che in qualche modo lo avete costretto a restare mentre lui voleva andarsene?

I could tell you to think of it as a new beginning rather than an ending but I won’t. It is an ending.

It’s an ending to you wasting your time with someone who doesn’t love you.

It’s an ending to living a life far worse than the one you could be living with the right person.
