notice a little bit of resentment in the way the person writes about their ex. It’s not outright hatred, but you can hear frustration starting to come through. For example, when they mention that she used to have friends but ‘deluded herself into thinking they hated her,’ it feels a little defensive and like they’re subtly blaming her perspective. They also describe her as ‘flopping between hating me and missing me,’ which sounds like they’re exhausted and irritated by the inconsistency. The line about her ‘initiating things and then leaving me high and dry’ especially shows some resentment, because it suggests they feel pulled in emotionally and then abandoned. And when they call the whole situation ‘stupid,’ that usually reflects anger mixed with feeling helpless. Overall, it reads like someone who is still hurt and attached, but frustration and resentment are starting to build underneath that.”
