Tough Love: Indignant

My ex writes about sex and relationships and recently wrote that, after we broke up, all my pictures were just me “in the woods” and likened me to Bon Iver. I hike all the time, so it wasn’t Justin Vernon–esque escapism. Is it OK to feel indignant?

Of course you can feel indignant. Just like she can feel indignant that you subtweeted her to an advice column. Consider yourselves even. And in the future, avoid the temptation to read her writing; nothing good can come of it.

How delightfully no-nonsense!

DON'T READ YOUR EX'S WRITING. Basic rule!

Yeah, I remember discovering the reams of angsty prose my ex produced about me. I made the mistake of ringing him up to say WTF dude. Nothing good came of this.

TIL: what "subtweet" means. Yeah, I'm a Twitter avoider. I don't read my ex's writing. (I applied once to work at Twitter, and they never responded. Damned good thing, as far as I'm concerned anymore.)
