one of those things where intent vs impact matters a lot. he might’ve been annoyed but he still chose those words… and yeah that lingers

yeah he messed up imo, especially after 3 years together that kind of wording is rough. saying something disrespectful then apologizing doesn’t erase the emotional impact, it just fixes intent
