BRETT: I can't believe she left me. This is so out of NOWHERE...

THE CLOUD: Her tone in emails, texts and tweets since then CLEARLY indicates a building resentment that you've done little to counter.

BRETT: Can I opt-out of your hindsight?
THE CLOUD: Certainly. Would you mind taking a short survey before you unsubscribe?
