Single Again For The First Time 12: Needles

Vincent Truman

Why do exes passive-aggressively needle each other when they’re no longer partners? I did it, my ex did it, and if you’re an ex yourself, you’ve probably done it. Considering the vast and impressive results that needling simply and utterly fails to accomplish, why does it happen?  And what do I mean by “spiritual leg” and what do you do when it’s gone missing?  What?
