But when the noise fades, something else begins: the questions, the silence, the ache you didn\u2019t see coming.<\/p>\n
The real impact of sleeping with the wrong person often appears in the quiet moments after.<\/p>\n
When the messages slow down. When you realize you cared more than they did.<\/p>\n
