I have read every message between you and Alex since the breakup in March. Two thousand nine hundred and four of them. For two people who agreed it was over, that is a lot of talking.

I am on your side, which is why I am going to be straight with you. Some of this is Alex. Some of it is you leaving the door open. And one part of it is not a joke at all, so I will tell you plainly when we get there.

    Alex has sent 1,592 messages to your 1,312 and starts more than two conversations out of every three. In daylight, you take three hours to reply. After midnight, your median drops to nine minutes. That gap is the whole story of the last seven months.

    The week things changed

    Week 11. Until then, Alex’s messages were the usual post-breakup kind: “hope you’re good”, a song, a photo of a dog you both used to walk past. Then you posted pictures from Lina’s birthday, and the questions changed. Not how are you, but who was that, and where were you.

    You answered every one of them. Politely, at length, and always explaining yourself, which is something nobody is owed by an ex.
