    In my ex’s case, she was well aware of it. Apparently she “practiced it” since she was a child because she got sick and tired of being told to “smile” and that no one looked good frowning all the time. Self-proclaimed resting bitch face model too.

    While she could take off and on this mask, it was incredibly draining to do it. But she also couldn’t not do it. It was weird.

    Unfortunately for her, she also couldn’t comprehend the emotions of other people at all, and failed to grasp why I might be upset that she cheated on me, and why I might be more than happy to cut her off from the financial security that being married to me provided.
