My daughter uses this song to help explain her feelings about a non romantic relationship betrayal 😞 music is powerful

[emilyperrin]

I love that Jono consistently mentions polyamorous relationships when speaking about relationship issues. Because cheating DOES happen to us nonmonogamous folks. Sometimes we're invalidated when speaking about infidelity in ENM and I appreciate the thoughtfulness Jono has towards us in alternative relationships. ❤

[kittveey]

I'd say why she is so in tune with her emotions is because her dad is a therapist!

[lilykep]

Honestly this whole album has some amazing insights into relationships and growth. You literally see her whole healing process from a toxic relationship. I love that she still wishes him the best, refuses to disparage the girl he got with, and confronts her own culpability in how she gave him power over her to an unhealthy extent.

When he cheated on me, I just left him. It was hard at the beginning, but looking back now I have no regrets. Thank you for another great video!

[albaibanez]

i was the traitor. never cheated, but the connection was there before breaking up. that happened in my first teenager relationship like 10 years ago. i always regretted how i acted and how i didn't find a proper way to manage my emotions and actions. the first time i listened to this song, i fell in love with it bc of how raw and real it is. it's my second favourite of the album.

"Traitor" is such a relatable song because, especially now, so many people have bench-warmers. Definitely agree with the "afraid to be alone" reasoning.

[SailorStudent]

Love your analysis on "Traitor"!😍 You should definitely do "Driver's License" since it explains the aftermath of the breakup and Olivia won't see her ex because he's already found someone else which makes it more sad.

[LuckyPurse]

The line "I played dump, but I always knew." hit me like a ton of bricks on my first listen. I pretended that everything was normal, repeating "we'll work this out" mantra over, and over again as deep in my mind... I was literally theorizing which day everything would fall apart. The song came a little late after the breakup, but I'm pretty sure, I'd still jamming it anyway xD

PS. Please do 10 Mins Version of Taylor Swift's All Too Well. I wanna see your thought on large age gap relationship, and her trauma from that song.

I've been on the other side of this coin... my ex was horribly emotionally abusive and I was walking on eggshells for a decade, unable to be myself or relax at all. There was physical abuse as well as financial control and infidelity on his part but the biggest thing was being made to feel stupid and useless. I told him I needed him to see a counselor, I tried everything I could to make it work. At the end I told him I was only still there because I had nowhere to go. I reconnected with my high school best friend after 25 years kind of randomly and I will admit that I began to have feelings before I left, but a lot of that came from being spoken to like a person and being valued as a human being. It wasn't so much a romance as it was just validation that I was worthy. It took a month to move in with my sister, six to get divorced and two years before I married my best friend. I wish things had been different but I don't regret my relationship with a good man that loves me.

Sour as an album shows a lot of emotions that people usually call bitter and petty. That, to me, makes it refreshing compared to the other "break-up" songs, because of course it's great when you can get over a bad relationship and learn from it, but it's a process that most times goes through those sour emotions and I love the way most of the songs on the album show that. Specifically Happier and Enough for You. Great video 💜

[hatecake]

For most of my young adulthood, I was a serial monogamist. I was the "traitor." I was too much of a coward to leave my partner when I realized that the relationship was over for me, because I was afraid to be alone. I have since grown and worked on myself (and learned that, actually, monogamy isn't for me). And, I am deeply sorry for the way I ended those relationships and all the hurt I caused by immediately jumping into a new one.

Jono's analysing Olivia Rodrigo's song? You already know this is gonna be some A grade content and I'm 100% here for it. LET'S

[annietan]

I'm glad I watched this over a decade after my own "traitor" situation, cuz I would be an emotional mess if this song came down then. Thank you Jonathan for breaking this down with your thoughts: a lot of people are going to find healing through this video.

Also just to say yes, that person did end up feeling very sorry and guilty. I did talk to that ex much later about it and we both moved on in the ways we needed. Doesn't mean that hurt still isn't there though. I hope y'all find some solace one day, it does happen.

[ronniewilliford]

I was the dude in this song when I was young. I was the girl a few times as well. It took a long time to figure out how to properly have and maintain a committed relationship. In my family, 100% of marriages had an expiration date and school advice on the subject was heavily marinated in religious dogma and PTA control. No wonder we spend our youth sharpening our teeth on each other.
Awesome video, by the way. I'm enjoying this channel very much.

[sarahzepeda]

A lot of this advice is what I've been working through with my therapist after having my own Traitor situation. Its really affirming to hear all of this, since this song hit me like a truck lol

[atinyevil]

It’s sad because I think so many people have been through this. I think a lot of people have been with someone like this who uses and discards people like we’re just nothing. Like we’re a tissue. And then they turn around and act like we!re the crazy ones and we’re jealous of them because we expected them to act humanely.

As for media to look into, I think it would be interesting for you to analyze the scene in Spider-Man No Way Home where all of the Peters talk about the people they’ve lost specifically in the context that their deaths weren’t natural. I went through something similar (minus the superhero part) shortly after I started college and seeing that scene really hit me. Losing someone to murder or an accident is a very different feeling than a loved one passing away. I think that would be an interesting topic for a video.

She sang the feelings I had with a non labeled romantic relationship
And I held onto that agony and confusion how i could be so easily discarded for a close friend we both had that he SWORE he could never date for YEARS! And with her song, she released years of pent up feelings I had when even other close friends in the friendship had gaslighted me in my depth of my upsettedness. I only got REAL healing when she repeated my feelings back to me in this song 10/10

[rachelsarmientotack]

Honestly. In my first ever serious I got into it knowing that my partner was prone to emotional infidelity. And that was on me.

And in my second serious relationship, I didn't quite process the scope of how truly detrimental emotional infidelity was to that prior and I chose to do the same thing. I had friends. People on MY side for the first time in forever and it felt really good. But that left my partner suffer alone in silence like I did before. We were very emotionally distant rather than intimate. Until there was no relationship at all. So that ended, too.

Third time was the charm though. We truly became eachother's person. The one we wanted to tell all of our stories to at the end of each day. Especially through the 2 year period that we were physically apart. We were never emotionally apart. We felt safe to be entirely honest with eachother when we went through tribulations. We were mutually intimate. Knowing now how that feels, I couldn't imagine entertaining a relationship without that closeness. It's so important. It's so valuable. It's so life affirming and validating. Emotional infidelity steals that from you EVERY TIME. Wether you're the victim or the perpetrator. And it really makes me sad that I didn't understand what I was missing for so many years. That I didn't know what a healty relationship felt like. That others out there still don't know.

I'd love to hear you take a look at this entire album. The whole thing is like a masterclass in emotional vulnerability.
