BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

2020-02-08 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 15 min

A tearful personal update in which the speaker announces she and her partner (referred to as Bibi/Bebe) have decided to separate after about eight years together. She explains their dynamic changed over time, cites incompatibility around communication and emotional needs, and expresses hope that he finds happiness and a family. She also reveals a past abortion and how it haunts her, describes feeling depressed and overwhelmed, mentions keeping her cats, and discusses possible future living arrangements (moving out when the lease ends, possibly becoming roommates with a friend named Pete).
