They Didn’t Change — Your Edit Did

A Stupidbubble® Love, Sex & Other Traps Feature

You didn’t just fall for them—you fell for your edit of them.
This blog slices into the quiet lie we tell ourselves in relationships: that someone “switched up,” when the truth is, we were in love with the version we wrote, not the one they showed us.

In They Didn’t Change — Your Edit Did, Janis Todd-Randall unpacks how we romanticize potential, rewrite red flags into “phases,” and keep dating the draft instead of the human standing in front of us. With sharp, compassionate honesty, this piece walks you through the crossroad we all hit:

• Do I accept who they really are—without secretly planning a renovation?

• Or do I release the fantasy and free both of us from a story that was never real?

Inside this blog, you’ll:

• Learn why they didn’t “change”—your perception did

• See how fantasy, not reality, keeps you emotionally overdrawn

• Get the Stupidbubble® Unmasking Protocol to check patterns, not potential

• Use simple reflection scripts to choose truth over wishful thinking

If you’re done dating your projections and ready to choose—or release—someone with your eyes wide open, this is your read.
