Advice, unfiltered

Ask Lexie. She’ll tell you straight.

The truth your group chat is too nice to say , with a verdict, every time. Send her what you can’t decide, and pull up a chair at the Advice Table.

This week’s letter - DL-0058
Block him. Then block the part of you that keeps unblocking him.

“My ex texts ‘you up?’ every few weeks and I always answer. Nothing ever happens , we talk for an hour, he vanishes, and my friends are sick of hearing about it. What is wrong with me?” , Still Answering, 11:47pm

Nothing’s wrong with you. You’ve just turned a man into a hobby. He’s not texting because he misses you , he texts because it works. The hour-long talk isn’t a connection, it’s a rerun. You’re not too much; you’re just answering the wrong phone.

The Advice Table Is Open
