I know this is true FOR A FACT.

I sold phones in the early 2000s and had at least one customer with only ONE condition. Unlimited text, because his girlfriend was married.

Also, that's how my ex-wife used to chat with my former best friend

Sadly, they couldn't be together because he had to go to prison. Free advice: before you sucker punch someone for having "a look", make sure they aren't a Federal Agent having a beer after work.

My ex wife prefered snap chat.

So you know, I just happened to get traumatized by another dudes dick in my wife's phone after her nude photos I've never seen. I don't know who he was other than her admitting it was a guy she cheated on me with 5 years ago.

No I'm not over it. Its been over a year, and because of the toxic nature of our relationship I don't have confidence to go out there and meet other people. It's fine, I'm fine. I've got video games and a shower to cry in.

But fuck smartphones. I hate this goddamn technology more than I hate my ex.

That sucks. But it also happened before smartphones. Ask me how I know.

It takes a long time for that hurt to go away. It eventually will, mostly.

Take your time. It'll be better.

I'm sorry, man :/ I hope you feel better some day soon - it'll all pass! I'm sure you've heard all the platitudes before tho. What games you playing ATM? 👀

Elden Ring, Helldivers when I need to calm down from Elden Ring, and Factorio when I need to cool it from Helldivers.

I sprinkle in a little Diablo IV and No Man's Sky too
