@DaniRose2143 you too!
Yes this exactly . The way they've been carrying on might not phase a different person, but for Evie, who is the way that she is, it's impossibly cruel. Jen meant well, but absolutely shouldn't have ever gotten involved - and Jude probably isn't thinking about anybody else but himself & his new exciting life at the moment. I wonder is it crueler for him to maintain contact with her, even if it prolongs her suffering, or cut her off completely and stop talking in the hopes that she'll forget about him. Probably the best solution is somewhere in the middle, but he's a dumb teenage boy - he's going to choose the dumbest and most teenage-boy-like solution every time.
