<p>Over 20 years after their relationship ended, &#8220;Friends&#8221; star <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/there-is-a-hell-matthew-perry-says-hes-been-there-admits-he-spent-nearly-10-million-to-get-sober/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Perry</a> revealed why he broke it off with &#8220;Pretty Woman&#8221; star <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/julia-roberts-reveals-the-key-to-a-long-happy-marriage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Roberts</a> — after just two months — all those years earlier.</p>
<p>Perry, 53, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/10/24/matthew-perry-reveals-why-he-broke-up-with-julia-roberts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">addressed the topic</a> in his soon-to-be-released memoir titled &#8220;Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing&#8221; — which hits shelves on November 1 — and revealed that his own insecurities had been the driving force that caused him to put an end to the relationship.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Whole Nine Yards&#8221; star said that despite the fact that he was starring in a hugely popular sitcom at the time, he still felt like Roberts was &#8220;slumming&#8221; when she chose to go out with him. &#8220;Dating Julia Roberts had been too much for me. I had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why would she not? I was not enough; I could never be enough; I was broken, bent, unlovable. So instead of facing the inevitable agony of losing her, I broke up with the beautiful and brilliant Julia Roberts,&#8221; Perry continued, adding that he couldn&#8217;t &#8220;begin to describe the look of confusion on her face&#8221; when he called it quits.</p>
<p>The actor, who struggled for decades with the substance abuse problems that almost killed him, said that he was always afraid when he was in relationships — he never knew who really valued him and who might only be dating him because of his money and fame.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was me afraid,&#8221; Perry told <a href="https://people.com/tv/matthew-perry-looks-forward-to-being-a-husband-and-father/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE Magazine</a>, explaining that he was almost always the one to end relationships. &#8220;That is what I manifest, something that&#8217;s wrong with them. And then I break up with them &#8230; But there can&#8217;t be something wrong with everyone. I&#8217;m the common denominator. I left first because I thought they were going to annihilate me.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Friends&#8221; star, now 18-months sober, said that he has overcome the fear and is looking forward to possibly having a family.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m not afraid of love anymore, so the next girl I go out with better watch out,&#8221; adding that he&#8217;s confident he could be a good father. &#8220;I grew up with a lot of little kids around me, and that’s probably why, but I can’t wait.&#8221;</p>
