Hmm, Interesting
After a breakup, people tend to say things they don’t mean. “I can’t live without you” is one example of this desperate behavior. Unfortunately, once an ex said this to the person in the Reddit story below, they weren’t about to let it go, either.
In fact, they were only jesting when they said they would check in later to prove their ex wrong. So, it seems like their attempt to make this person stay wasn’t as serious as their ex tried to lead them to believe.
