So, this is the moment my ex and I hit a wall we couldn’t climb over. It was her friend’s birthday, and we were all out doing karaoke—just a casual, fun night. Then Saweetie’s “Best Friend” (feat. Doja Cat) comes on. As the video played in the background, I was into the music, singing along with everyone.

But my ex? She wasn’t feeling it. She left the room for a bit, looking annoyed. Later, she told me she felt disrespected—said I was ogling the half-naked women in the video, watching them twerk. I tried to explain it wasn’t like that. I wasn’t “watching” anything; I was just caught up in the moment, having fun.

But she didn’t believe me, and I was too drained to keep trying to convince her. The tension hung heavy, and I ended up walking home alone that night.
