Yapbrina’s essay on her ex

Did anyone read Yapbrina’s essay on her ex boyfriend (cold brew man)? It’s on her substack and I read it out of curiosity. Of course, the essay is biased because we can’t hear cold brew man’s side but I’m surprised how childish both of them are. I’ll give a summary if you don’t want to read it.

The essay mainly talks about one thing that happened - cold brew man offering to make matcha lattes for her since there were no matcha stores nearby.

Cold brew man tells her that he is thinking of getting into matcha lately, which surprises yapbrina because she knows he’s an avid coffee drinker. Yapbrina thinks he’s doing it just for her. But then cold brew man says “it’s not only for YOU, I actually want to get into matcha for myself too”. Yapbrina gets upset. Cold brew man is making dinner for them and Yapbrina is so upset, she says she needs to leave. Cold brew man is visibly hurt and says that he knows it was wrong of him to make that comment, but he says it’s because his feelings for her are so strong sometimes, he feels like he does/says really strong things and this is what he does to tame his emotions.

First, what grown ass once divorced 35 year old man actually says this kind of thing? It screams childish. Not only that, it’s crazy that Yapbrina got upset enough by this one thing while her boyfriend was cooking dinner for them, to just get up and leave. Both of them have issues. There was a post a while ago from one of cold brew man’s friends defending him, and while I don’t think cold brew man is necessarily the horrible avoidant non-commital man Yapbrina portrays him to be, he definitely has issues as well
