Come on and dig in, it’s time to get this rollercoaster rolling on down the tracks!

Chapter 1 – Choosing the correct speech

These are the basic speeches for you to choose from:
I care for you, but I don’t love you anymore.
I love you but I’m not in love with you (ILYBINILWY)
I don’t know what I want.
I haven’t been happy for the last 10/15/20/30 years (depends on the day).
You will never change.
It’s not you. It’s me.
I wouldn’t choose you any more.
