A short YouTube monologue (creator: Francisco Javier Ortega) challenging the belief that an ex-partner is "the one." The speaker argues that if you truly believe an ex is the one, you must accept that they are someone who will leave you, repeatedly hurt you, and be unwilling to commit. The video urges viewers to stop idealizing that ex and to change how they think about them in order to move on and build a life they love.
Look, if you believe in your ex is the one, then I really want to help you out with that today, okay? If you really believe that, then you have to admit that the One is somebody who's willing to leave you. You also have to admit that the one is somebody who's willing to hurt you time and time and time again. You also have to believe that the One is somebody who is unwilling to commit. And I'm pretty sure that you don't want to believe that. The One that is made for you to walk this life journey with you is somebody who just easily quits and could care less about emotional well being regardless of how much you try. If you want to finally let them go and accept this and begin to build a life that you love, you have got to remove them from your mind as the one. It doesn't change by you not thinking about them, it changes by you thinking about them differently.
