Bring on the opinions...not sure now

This is a cool story and everything, but it seems like the guy in this story did exactly everything that most people on this board advise NOT to do...

 

I wish I could be inspired by it, though.

When it comes to love and relationships, there are countless books to read, lots of advice to listen to, but nothing is set in stone. If there was a magic formula...it'd always just work. Life is just messy.

 

And in a way...the story...she did what the boards would advise. She broke things off because he wasn't giving her the commitment she needed. She got her life together, and did her thing, even dated, gave him space, and they reconciled. Some people just wake up, and realize what they have. Other times, the two people in the relationship aren't right for each other, so they look for ways to divorce from it.

 

If it's always a constant struggle to be together, something is always off...says a lot.

 

I don't know if I meant for the story to be inspirational. It just means, be genuine. Be true. Can never go wrong with that.

 

Life is hard enough. Having a partner who doesn't support us, we can do without it.

Yeah I guess you're right... I'm a male dumpee though so I automatically looked at it from the guy's perspective.
