Breh... I know you talk in jest, but sometimes it really be like that

....I am actually highly emotionally intelligent and I be using it to twist women in pretzels..

... . I remember one of my exes from a few years ago, i was giving her the mixture of warm-cold energy to jist keep her stir crazy.... we had a little argument over the phone about it and she thought she was running things and said "well then maybe we should break up." She thought I was gonna stutter......
It had been a good 6-8 months we were messing around and the honeymoon fun stage was coming to an end and I knew I needed to get free (that avoidance concept). So I reply without even hesitating " Yeah, you're right. We should. " of course she got shook

and didn't expect it ... Then I gave her a nice spiel on me "Not being emotionally available for you amd I shouldn't cause you this distress, etc, etc. " To the point of convincing her it was the right decision.

So at the end of the convo she asks for me to come over so we can say "goodbye" (she wanted one last fukk) . I get over there and we start. Baby girl just breaks down into a puddle of tears, end up just consoling her. She was frazzled...
So she goes her way but is still messaging me between drunken fits of her spilling her guts about missing me, to hating me for hurting her.
She eventually chills out and we are on friendly terms....
So a few years later she gets married, her husband (fiance/boyfriend during the whole period) knows about me and don't like me even though he never met me.....
Since she's been married, she still messages me once a month on Signal late at night when her husband is sleeping to have "scintillating" conversation and then deletes the messages after we're done talking.......I should be completely forgotten.... if her husband were to see the convos....

....
waaay too much of a CityBoy/Ain'tshytNi**a, but I have been chilling on the sidelines back doing my University flex. So the hoes can heal for a bit...
That's the paradox of it. One is emotionally intelligent, you know how to twist the scenario to be in your favor, so you ask yourself: "Why even change things? " ...... Really come down to challenging those entrenched beliefs and asking "do you want more?, do you want growth?"
