my own salvation

+    My point is: I don't believe he was the one who chose to take a break/end the rs, otherwise she wouldn't have posted the happy birthday post. To me that post means she was fine with him, had no resentment and according to articles, their break was supposed to be temporary. Then he started going out with Baskin and she probably ended things for good. She just didn't expect him to get married to someone else after 2 months.    

+    I can't understand why anyone who planned to have a stable relationship couldn't wait and be faithful for just a month, just to respect her time. He wasn't and still planned to get back together with her, which is insane. I honestly believe he did want to get married and his friends pushed him to do it with Hailey, specially because of how much in the beginning his friends were always involved with their meetings. Not to mention Hailey's post on Scooter's IG, asking for a husband.    

+     By the way, I don't intend to excuse Justin from his obvious mistakes with Selena. However, it really seems like during their break, he was heavily influenced by his friends/family to go back to Hailey. In mid May was when he commented on her IG and later she posted that comment asking for a husband on Scooter's IG. Regardless, he was weak. He should have waited for Selena or simply respected her time. Instead he was influenced by his friends and ended up with a stalker.

Ok here’s what I think: I don’t know how much we can believe these “sources” but I think especially the lyric: “In two months you replaced us like it was easy” makes me agree with many things you said. I don’t know if they were on a break or whatever was going on  I’m mainly thinking about Hailey and their marriage when i hear it because let’s be real, Baskin was a fling which was just childish and boyish but I don’t think it hurt her like he just marrying someone when he was with her like 20seconds ago. 

it sounds like they weren’t totally over, like you said, and suddenly he was engaged to someone else. And I mean, we saw so many beautiful pictures of them being in love and stuff but to me the song just sounds like mistakes and patterns repeating again and again. And yes, I’m glad Selena got out and stopped ignoring the signs. I’m glad she’s worked on loving and CHOOSING herself instead of making someone else a priority. 

Honestly the song makes things seem so differently now, looking back, like we were all looking trough rose-colored glasses. The lyrics speak such a different volume - “You promised the world and I fell for it”, “set fires to my forest and you let it burn”, “i put you first and you adored it”, “you got off on the hurtin when it wasn’t yours.”
