Thanks Steve and BL.

You're not wrong. He is pretty obviously cake eating. My friends have said the exact same thing. Do you know why it happens? It's so common! You'd think they'd just want to disappear into the sunset if we're really so horrible!

Y'all are right, I'm probably not super ready to date yet, but I did realize how much I don't miss ex today so I did reopen my dating app and saw a couple guys sent likes. Sharing here and having you all kindly build up my self esteem at least made me feel less nauseous about checking it out though. I was finally kind of having fun instead of grossed out and anxious. Chatted with one guy who had visited the country I did my study abroad in.

True to form after that guy messaged me the ex sent a bunch of pictures over of the dog he's watching. It's like they know, which I know y'all have said before and I had noticed it too, but jeez?
