This article very much reads like every other article I used to read about Austin from people who just moved there 5 minutes ago and think they have it already figured out but actually don’t.

Ex-lover? Sounds like one hell of a story that, oddly, I would probably nod along with in solidarity and a general sense of “yep, mine was like that, too”. Came out of that relationship a much more grateful and humble person even if it didn
