Things only got worse from there, as it turned out Peter dumped Emma by text when they broke up
The text dumping didn’t go down well
Whoops!

Surely we’ve hit peak awkwardness? No!
Turned out Peter and Emma were *very* close after Emma’s divorce:
“It probably wasn’t a good idea for me to meet your daughter after such a short period”

And then followed it up with this assessment:
