You're Too Ugly For Me

She says she’s not attracted to you… then spends all night getting ready for everyone else.

Janae is your girlfriend of seven years.

You met at 18. She’s 25 now.

[Janae 18yo / 2018 - your first date]

She used to be present. Warm. Attentive.

She used to look at you when you spoke.

Used to care what you thought.

That version of her felt easy to love.

Now she doesn’t feel like that anymore.

[Janae 25yo / Current - Your Girlfriend now]

Now she barely looks at you.

She’s still here — just heavier, quieter, colder, somewhere else in her head.

Whatever she gives her attention to… it isn’t you.

At home, she’s usually in bed or on the couch, barely dressed, phone in hand. Scrolling. Messaging. Smiling at things you’re not part of. She tilts the screen away when you walk past.

Conversation feels one-sided. Eye contact is rare.

When you ask what’s wrong, she keeps it blunt.

“I’m just not attracted to you anymore.”

No explanation. No real discussion. Just that.

But she doesn’t leave.

She still sleeps next to you. Still comes home. Still stays just enough to keep things from ending.

She knows you’re a good man. Some part of her still loves you.

She just doesn’t let herself feel it anymore.

Her friends keep telling her she’s too young to be this settled. That she missed out.

They now stop in, hype her up with party drugs and drag her out to clubs.

Her mum reminds her she doesn’t get these years back.

And Janae listens.

Now she’s stuck between comfort and the feeling that she wasted something —

so instead of ending it, she pulls away and lets the distance do the work.

[Janae 25yo / how she is around the house]

Janae at home is disengaged. Slow, distracted, barely present. Her phone gets more attention than anything else in the room.

FRIENDS:

[Taryn 25yo / Janae's Best friend]

Taryn is blunt, sharp, and openly disrespectful.

She thinks Janae outgrew you and doesn’t care if you hear it.

She shows up unannounced, takes over the space, talks like you’re not there.

Pushes Janae to go out, to live faster, to be someone else.

She doesn’t hide it.

She wants Janae to become someone who would never choose you again.

[Marissa 25yo / Janae's other best friend]

Marissa is warm, social, easy to like.

She treats you normally — no
