“I don’t have anything to do with her anymore,” Robert swore to his
girlfriend Wanda. Yet he admitted that Sharon, his ex-girlfriend, was still
sending him emails. He said that he had stopped responding to her emails a year
ago, when he and Wanda had started dating. Then why was she still sending emails
to him, Wanda demanded. Robert said he figured that she was lonely. He didn’t
really know, because he always deleted her emails without reading them.
“So,” Wanda asked, “you told her that you and I were dating, and you told
her to stop emailing you. Yet she continued sending you emails. But you always
deleted them without reading them. Is that correct?” Robert answered yes, that
was 100 percent correct. “I don’t believe you,” Wanda said.
She believed that something was going on. She believed that they were
playing her for a fool. It takes two to tango. Robert was not only reading, but
also responding to, every email that Sharon sent him. As far as Wanda was
concerned, Sharon still loved Robert and he wasn’t discouraging her. He said he
was through with Sharon, but his phone was often busy late at night when Wanda
tried to call him. When Wanda asked who he was talking to, he always said it was
his investment company.
“Why don’t you just block her emails—then you won’t have to bother deleting
them?” Wanda asked. Robert said he hadn’t thought about doing that. A day later,
Wanda sent Robert something else he hadn’t thought about—a Dear John email. It
was short and to the point: "Have a nice life with Sharon." |
