Internet was really critical to my ex’s mental health. I don’t know why I chose to juxtapose how I felt vs her— for me it was a mild inconvenience, but for her it was like the world was ending. She was building a codependency with the other partner, experiencing separation anxiety. At the time I was slowly separating myself from them still, finding myself distant. I was part of the relationship but… not. If we weren’t considered a triad, what the exwife had with the expartner would be considered an “emotional affair”… except I didn’t care about that anymore. I couldn’t keep up with the exwife’s emotional needs and so I just couldn’t… attend.
