This week’s Now That I’ve Left, a column from noted ex-wife Scaachi Koul

Now That You’ve Left is a Slate column from noted ex-wife Scaachi Koul .

Koul: My ex said they were betrayed when I spoke up and told them that their depression was making me concerned about our future and chances at starting a family.

Now That I've Left: What is to do?.

Ex-partner who made you feel insufficient, incomplete, and incompatible can make them silently rue the loss of you.

The romanticism of looking back, the tingling possibilities of a rekindled friendship are fantasies for Normal People adaptations.
