Dear Breakup Girl,

My boyfriend broke up with me because I was "too nice." Do you think that this was the real reason, orjust an excuse?

-- Tu Nice


Dear Tu Nice,

Either (1) he has some sort of I'm Not Worthy issue that causes him to believe that he really only deserves to date the Linda Tripps of the world, or (2) it's not so much an excuse as a default thing to say, a lite sugar-coating. Never mind the "too;" at least, either way, he thinks you're nice -- which, arguably, is better than thinking you're Satan (or, worse, "terrific"). I realize neither he nor Breakup Girl has given you much to work with, but honestly, it's not worth dwelling on. Mainly, I wanted to let guys know that WOMEN GET THE "TOO NICE" THING TOO. So there.

Love,
Breakup Girl
