I,
I had an identical experience as I was blindsided and dispatched with a three sentence text about a year ago. Upon reconnecting I asked her directly about her method of "discard".  She looked straight at me without emotion and said "What's wrong with that?  It was perfectly within my right to do so".  This from a woman with a law degree from a top five law school.  Good grief.
Sometimes it is almost comical how so many stories read almost the same. Unfortunately, it is always some really dark comedy.
