There are men in my life who swoop in with predictable irregularity. Usually these are ex-boyfriends. It doesn’t matter if I broke up with him, or he broke up with me. After 2-3 months of silence I start gearing up, knowing I’ll hear from them in an email or text. And if I respond to his question, or engage back, it’s almost certain it will be another 2-3 months before I get a reply.
It happened again last week. The cyber ego boost. A virtual flex. A check-in to make sure he still counts. And it’s annoying as hell.
This Memorial Day I’d like to recognize these fallen egos. Moment of silence please.
