I was literally crying into lukewarm takeout in my shoebox apartment watching my ex brag in our old group chat about booking five-star villas in Bali with their new flame. Then suddenly... wait, what just happened? The partner just dropped a bomb in the chat: 'Trip is off, he was sleep-talking her name all night.' I’m sitting here in shock. Do I laugh, throw up, or leave the planet?!

Pop some popcorn, put your phone face down, and do not type a single syllable.
You just witnessed prime-time soap opera karma delivered straight to your group chat, completely free of charge. Feeling lonely in a giant city makes old chats feel like a torture chamber you can't stop checking, but this? This is entirely their circus, not your monkeys.
Your ex's subconscious might still be dragging your ghost around, but that doesn't mean you should jump back in as a rescuer or a spectator. If you text anything right now, you become part of the wreckage.
Your best move: mute that chat immediately for your own sanity. If a mutual friend privately asks what you think, just say: "Yikes, hope they sort that out, but I'm staying out of it."
Finish your dinner with your head held high—you didn't ask to be an unwitting homewrecker in someone else's REM cycle.
