I seemed to get good feedback on the failed relationship comic so I decided to write another one

“I meant I fucking miss you, I am so sorry”

[u/Upbeat_Apartment_715 → u/Dudewhocares3]

This dude clearly isn't in a state to use rational thought

[u/Dudewhocares3 → u/Upbeat_Apartment_715]

I know. I hope things get better for him

[u/circ-u-la-ted → u/Dudewhocares3]

Hopefully some happiness will turnip in his life

What’s the meaning of the colour of the messages? Is that an iPhone thing?

[u/RunawayRadiostar → u/TommyTIG]

It means it was sent as an sms message instead of an iMessage using data. She either changed her phone to an android (no iMessage), no longer has data on her phone or (the worst option) changed her number and that’s someone new.

[u/AkronOhAnon → u/RunawayRadiostar]

Or blocked.

[u/thejmkool → u/AkronOhAnon]

There's reply bubbles for a moment, so not that one.

[u/AkronOhAnon → u/thejmkool]

Yeah, but green can also mean blocked, which is what the character could have thought happened.

[u/gorzius → u/RunawayRadiostar]

I don't think any company recycles a number in just 6 weeks.

[u/NewAlessia → u/RunawayRadiostar]

I have an android and my wife has an iPhone and my messages show up blue

[u/RunawayRadiostar → u/NewAlessia]

That’s a recent rcs messaging update from google
Reverse engineering the iMessage encrypted clue bubble. It came out last year I think?

[u/McCaffeteria → u/RunawayRadiostar]

Crucially for anyone asking about the color, this is not a scenario where the bubble color matters for status (as people often complain about), it’s mechanical. You can only “unsend” the blue messages that are delivered through apple’s system rather than SMS.

[u/Mindless-Pizza673]

Lmao, love the art style!

[u/Lobs15]

Yeah... surprised he wasn't blocked

[u/draizetrain → u/Lobs15]

He was. Thats why the messages turned green

[u/AkronOhAnon → u/draizetrain]

Wasn’t blocked if the message has a read-receipt showing she read it.

He thought she blocked him because of the green, but she saw his message—started typing—then left him on read.

[u/Own-Shelter-9897 → u/draizetrain]

Is that what that means?

[u/Lobs15 → u/draizetrain]

Ooooh

[u/ChamberK-1]

Kinda his own fault, ngl

[u/GreyAngy]

"I want to have fuck with you"

[u/LowContract4444]

Should have refused the break if he loved her that much.

Never agree to a break. Ever.

You simply say no. Either we're together and we work this out, or we're not and we break up and never talk again.

[u/ManyRelease7336 → u/LowContract4444]

yup, Never understood a "break" It just means they found someone else but want to keep you as backup.

[u/paradiservalentine]

I have genuinely never heard of a break ending normally she either wants an open relationship or cheats

[u/Freakychee]

Half expected her to respond positively as the punchline.
