QuoteMy friend had not, to be clear, slept with anybody else, or gone on any illicit dates. But her partner, consumed by suspicion when it came to my friend's platonic relationships, had gone through my friend's phone and stumbled upon old messages that were too affectionate, too "flirty." She broke up with my friend that night.
