I’m listening to a live break up at the gym…

In the spa of my gym in the relaxation room (yes, I know very naice). 3 early 20 somethings come in with a phone.

One of them is mid break up with his girlfriend and the other two are helping him reply to the messages. It is the most non toxic, sweetest conversation I have ever overheard.

They are trying to pitch it right, not make her feel bad (I think she is breaking up with him) and no pressure but he wants to be friends.

Currently trying to work out how to get his things back without bumping into her.

I have two young boys and this gives me hope that young men can turn out to be the kind of gentlemen this world needs

Doesn’t sound very relaxing tho 😂

Glad at least it's a wholesome breakup!

No doubt the girl is sat in the weights section of the gym sending him the messages, being coached by her pals 😂
Is this David Lloyd by any chance?
