When you're the perfect girl, but you're afraid of commitment:
When plans get canceled at the last minute:
When your boyfriend has plans...but you thought otherwise:
When your boyfriend constantly lies:
When someone tries to break up with you:
When you have to pay alimony, but you petty:
So now you know!
You'll probably be using this phrase in about three months, but the gag is, you probably heard it here first!
