I had a big sudden break-up after a similar length relationship a couple of years ago and you COULD NOT PAY ME, then or now, to be that candid about it. "After my relationship ended", "after a big life change", "being single I thought I'd just go for it", etc, yes, but wording it like that just sounds so bitter even though I'm sure she's going for blasé.
There's being honest and then there's choosing to be so open that you're forcing a certain narrative or response and this just seems like she wants both "aw, he left her, how could he do that!" (even though nobody
has to be with you and they're not doing anything fundamentally wrong by not wanting to be with you. There are good and bad ways to go about it, of course, though) and "go on girl, you're a bad ass girl boss!"
Love her honesty
Yeah, it has to suck being left like that and apparently unexpected. But it probably was something that Oliver had wanted for a while and she didn’t notice/didn’t want to believe. Unless he very suddenly found someone else and wanted to end the relationship with Carrie asap. But I’m pretty sure that if someone else had been the reason for Olli leaving her, she would have made countless passive-aggressive allusions already. Since she hasn’t, I’m inclined to guess that he simply wasn’t happy and ended it when he felt he could. Sucks for her, but things like that do happen. And „knowing“ Carrie, I bet the thing she’s most angry about is that she was blindsided and didn’t have the chance to have someone else lined up immediately

This is the thing. Everyone who's been the one to be broken up with will probably have had the initial response of feeling betrayed and rejected, but if someone doesn't want to be with you, they don't want to be with you. You could be the most intelligent, beautiful, funny, outgoing, adventurous, creative, kind person in the world and they might not have romantic feelings for you or feel comfortable in the dynamics of the relationship. They're allowed to not want that and you'll also be better off not being with someone who doesn't want to be with you. I feel like Carrie is struggling to realise that. It's difficult to feel rejected so hugely, especially out of the blue, I've not so long ago been there but you deal with it and you move on and not everything you do has to be a "fuck you!" to them.
