My ex sent me a voice note after nine years of silence.
He said he had driven past our old apartment and remembered the fire escape, the cheap wine, and the way I used to bite his shoulder when I was trying not to make noise.
I listened to it six times.
I am married. He is married. I did not answer until the next morning, and even then I only wrote, “You should not have sent that.”
He replied, “You did not say you were sorry I did.”
I deleted the thread. I did not delete the voice note.
Now the comments get a turn.
Read the room, state your case, and try not to become the reason the next submission exists.
