On the surface, it looks nice. Coached her into how she can work on earning my trust back (which she never will, so maybe that's cruel of me) with painfully obvious examples. This generic ass text exchange she started, yet also shuts down with one word. The comically familiar lack of follow-through and genuine interest we all know so well.

Here's a novel idea: Ask how we're doing once in a while or give a tiny shit.

Me, last call with her: You could ocassionally ask how I'm doing since I'm postpartum and working full-time.

Her thoughts: Got it. I'll send a scripted nudge every 2 weeks and really show her I care.

My fantasy reply: Maybe genuinely try to care.

Her thought: Well, shit.
