Mailbag Monday is in full “tough love, but make it helpful” mode as Jared breaks down three modern dating headaches: the ex who keeps popping up with cryptic, ego-soaked poetry, the couple doing “ethical non-monogamy” that somehow feels like a sad group project, and the doctor who’s back a year later claiming the relationship ended because you “didn’t believe he was busy.” Jared’s main theme is clear: you don’t need a courtroom-level case to leave someone who makes you feel emotionally unsafe, and you definitely don’t owe your time to people who rewrite history to avoid accountability. He also goes on a mini-rant about how we digest texts like they’re meals (and why blocking is sometimes self-care). Equal parts funny, blunt, and weirdly calming, like having a friend grab your phone mid-spiral and go, “Nope. We’re not doing this today.
