Illustration: by The Cut In “Both Sides of a Breakup,” the Cut talks to exes about how they got together and why they split up. After meeting in college, Brie, 48, and Drew, 48, started their life together, and as they grew their own family, Brie’s resentment of Drew grew too.
I pushed those feelings away. Being with Drew was always comfortable. So comfortable that it was too scary to seriously think about life any other way. At first, I would tell my friends, “He’s just not the douche-bro type and that’s a good thing!” and that felt like a good excuse for him to be taking a break and figuring things out, but how long could I use that line?
How did I pay for life in New York? Brie paid our rent because she had some family assistance. My family has no money and hers does; so it was just a matter of practicality that she’d cover us until I started earning money somewhere. I paid for this and that, and I always expressed my gratitude. I also took care of our house and did all the cooking. It wasn’t so black or white.
Drew: The pregnancy helped me get out of my rut. I started selling merchandise and customized apparel online, and became something of a businessman. It was something I’d done before for friends or small fundraisers, but I finally drafted up a real plan. It didn’t happen overnight, but I started making money and feeling inspired.
Brie: I loved being parents together, but my resentment toward him never went away. He was never not going to be the guy who laid on the couch too much and drank beer all day.
