Today’s post comes to you in the form of emails… Because I am thoughtful I am re-ordering the messages so you get them in order, instead of upside down, the way email replies tend to go.

Because he has said that he has an issue with dating coworkers. Not with me or us specifically, but just in general. Because talking about us for real would be too much like talking about feelings. It’s no wonder this relationship is really taking off.

(At this point she’s thinking he’s looking elsewhere because he has the “no dating coworkers” thing.)

I’ve never actually said it here, but just so we’re clear: We live nowhere NEAR Peru. Peru means an entirely different country for him.
