Okay.

This was like five, six years ago.

Yeah, because I think when both of us had reached out, it was like feel it was testing the waters like, hey, are you single?

Are you with somebody else?

If you're with somebody else, I'm going to respect that and leave it be.

No, no.

When he had reached out to me, I was with somebody else.

He reached out again, I was still with the same person.

And then when I had reached out to him, then he was seeing somebody else.

He's looking at my stuff.

I mean, I've definitely looked at his stuff, but I've never left a paper trail that I was looking at his stuff and his stories.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Right.

Well, yeah.

And I mean, in hindsight, I feel like the things that caused the breakup now, I feel like they wouldn't be insurmountable now with the life experience that I've had.

I mean, in one of the moments when he did reach out, he did express regret and guilt for, you know, kind of not.

No, it's all valid.

Yeah, that is probably a more nuanced, complicated answer.

But I regret not leaving that relationship and pursuing that with him at the time.
