All I’m going to say I think now that my brain remembered part of what it was thinking is that Taylor and Joe went through a lot together (good and bad) and regardless of how it ended or what led to it they both seem to be determined to keep that private and not throw each other under the bus and in the end they’re just two very, very different people whose outlooks in the long term were just never going to align and never has that been clearer.

#I AM NOT DEFENDING HIM JUST TO BE CLEAR #I’m just saying… he said a lot of nothing in those quotes beyond ‘people on the internet suck’#which is true #and both he and Taylor are keeping things close to the vest about it all #and just seems to me that whatever they went through together they are determined to keep it between them so that’s the end of that #(again in contrast to how she has no qualms about reading m for filth)#he’s just some guy and now he gets to be just some guy forever #and she gets to be extraordinary #like yes the loving committed thing raises eyebrows given how much pain she was in #but like he could have shaded her about how it ended too and he didn’t #AND I AM NOT DEFENDING HIM #we know he was a terrible partner and she felt like shit #I’m just saying neither of them want to delve into the specifics and i think they’re just moving into footnotes in each other’s lives now #like i want to make it clear AGAIN I am not condoning anything on his part here — clearly there were huge issues #I’m just saying just because he may have sucked as a partner doesn’t mean the internet being cruel isn’t also true idk #and yes it’s transparent why he’s choosing to speak out now (or rather why the Sunday times is choosing to reach out to him now)#but like… idk i just can’t muster up any feeling about this man one way or the other lol #and take cues from Taylor (and even him) she’s determined to keep it between them other than the broad strokes #so I’m following her/their lead #(like I have thoughts about why but that’s not important and ultimately is just… it’s the most normal of ltr breakups)#like he just sounds a little pretentious with his ‘real life’ which like… good on him keep living that real life you do you dude #meanwhile his ex is flourishing with every passing week and milestone and is living her unabashed best life #and they’re probably both happier for it now
