if it was that simple do you think I would be like 500+ posts deep in this thread? Giiiiirl.

but as I've said I won't believe it until they move a ways away from each other, tbh. lol
i still don't buy that they're broken up in private. It seems to me like they're only broken up publicly/professionally. Too much makes me suss. They still seem to only be away from each other (in that they're not in the same state, lol) a couple of weeks at a time. And it still smacks me as weird that they both moved back home, almost like it was their plan - they "break up" while deal with the pandemic and chill at home with their folx - so then they don't have to constantly post proof that they are "together" publicly to reaffirm their relationship to their stans. This completely relieves them of a huge load of added outside stress.
a big thing that makes me not believe they're broken up is their dog - I don't think Ethan would be ok giving her up, and if Mark just took her I think that would be a huge source of acrimony between them/their families/friends in stead of this chill vibe they seem to have instead. I def. think we would see them sharing custody more publicly if the break up was 1) real and 2) as friendly as they're trying to let on.
