Sounds like a lot of people got out of toxic relationships with selfish assholes. I’m sorry they had to find out that way, though.
I wear a mask every time I leave the house, and I’ll probably keep doing so, even if covid stopped being an issue (though it doesn’t look like that’ll ever happen), just so I can do my part in stopping the spread of respiratory viruses. I can’t imagine not being willing to do that to protect a vulnerable loved one, when I’d do it for strangers.
I was honestly confused by the “X” in the headline. Took me a while to figure it out.
