Arch Enemy - Stolen Life

And then promptly leave, before I get accused of attempted mass murder

It’s called “Needles” 😄

Seconding this. B&O know their stuff when it comes to sound (though I’d avoid TWS due to having bad experience with them myself); currently rocking HX, seem to work fine

Okay, I’ll try to take a stab at this point by point:

• The intended effect was for you to go no-contact with her. Imo - a nuclear option on her part (and as you mentioned, there were alternatives).
• Yes, you do, and yes, I am sure. No discussion on this point, no moral hair-splitting-type-of-deal.
• That’s the best thing you could have done. While battling addicition and your inner demons is an uphill struggle (been on therapy for 4 years after a distaster of a break-up myself), it’s worth it, if not for your friends and family, then for you and for the sake of improving as a person.
• Unfortunately, cannot give you an answer on this. And, to be completely honest, you don’t need one; best thing you can do here in my opinion is to let it go.
• Keep going to therapy, keep working on yourself. This will pass if you keep working on this, I promise.
