Written in 2022:
After what I wrote about in the prior comic, my feelings swung to quiet resentment, comparing myself to them, full envy sitting in me as I watched the exwife’s distress at the loss of her partner. I wanted to be okay with it but the anger in me just wouldn’t go away. I wanted so badly to be okay with it. But I missed my chance to be mad, I felt, so how could I be mad if I reacted like “good job!” at first? How do I express the hurt? I didn’t know how. And I watched as my exwife wept and I comforted her over it, not feeling any particular need to be even a little bit upset.
