A story is circulating on Reddit again, involving an email sent to blow up a marriage. Instead, it ended a friendship that had lasted two decades.
The thread resurfaced this week on r/BestofRedditorUpdates, the subreddit that pairs old posts and includes updates so people can learn what happened next. The original post was from years ago, its author allegedly a 28-year-old man who was at work, fighting a cold, and unsure how to reply to what had landed in his inbox that morning.
