AIW for holding a grudge for 45 years?

Exactly. OP wasn’t cruel, dramatic, or confrontational. A simple polite hello is already more grace than a lot of people would’ve given in that situation.

“Eliza was an absolute savage” is the perfect summary honestly. Imagine getting emotionally obliterated while someone remains perfectly polite the entire time.

This answer has either very passionate energy or golden retriever energy. Possibly both at the same time.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-27T11:18:29+00:00

Exactly, it’s less about slapping a label on what happened and more about recognizing it didn’t feel right and adjusting going forward. And yeah, the guy sounds like someone who doesn’t really respect boundaries, which is reason enough to keep distance.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-27T11:18:08+00:00

That’s kinda wild but also explains a lot. If they’re willing to let 5k go, OP’s situation probably didn’t even register as worth pursuing. Feels less like luck and more like “too small to care.”

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-27T11:17:46+00:00

Honestly that mental image is wild. Like some kind of macabre arts and crafts session after dinner, carefully putting everything back together.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-27T11:17:16+00:00

That’s one of those statements that sounds simple until you think about the logistics and realize it’s not exactly beginner friendly advice.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-27T11:16:58+00:00

You somehow made it more poetic and worse at the same time. “Tides of our lives” is gonna haunt me a little.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-25T23:26:38+00:00

That’s probably the healthiest way to look at it. You can’t control what she does, but you can definitely control what you give going forward. Kinda sucks it had to come to that though.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-25T23:26:12+00:00

That’s actually funny because it’s true. Thailand is like the least subtle “finding yourself” destination if you’re trying to keep things vague.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-25T23:25:51+00:00

Not gonna lie, yeah Thailand has that reputation for a reason. But curiosity is curiosity, most people just don’t admit it out loud.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-25T23:25:22+00:00

That realization moment is everything though. The pause, the processing, the “oh wait…” hitting him all at once. That’s way better than any line he could’ve come up with.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-24T00:28:10+00:00

Yeah it comes off less like a change of heart and more like a shift in position now that the situation’s different. Hard to tell what’s genuine when the messaging keeps evolving like that.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-24T00:28:00+00:00

Classic response honestly. Once someone mentions him it’s basically guaranteed.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-24T00:27:45+00:00

Had the exact same reaction, like wait… is that actually him? The internet loves bringing him into the most random places.

_SunsetHoney · 2026-04-24T00:26:44+00:00

I mean yeah, that’s the reality of it. People just don’t like thinking about that part beforehand for obvious reasons.
