I’ve been under the weather for several days, lacking any appetite. I brought this up to my ex over the course of our usual conversations, and her reaction was “fuck this, I’m ordering you food.”
So I now have clam chowder and crab mashed potatoes from Red Lobster.
I seriously don’t get it. If we are weeks away from never being able to meet again, why is she taking care of me like this?
Because you haven’t eaten in four days. Most people are not so apathetic towards others they know to let them starve to death.
As for your relationship with your ex, it’s best if you try to figure that out sooner rather than later. Relationships between people, platonic or romantic, work best with good communication. If you don’t know what she’s thinking or how she feels, and you’re in regular contact with her, then maybe just ask. Just be sure that it comes across as genuine and not creepy.
In fact, why not start by asking her why she would order food for you?
