Well well, it seems everything I said in Chapter 1 was right. She was having a hard time connecting with him since he's just wallowing in misery and he didn't let anyone help him. It's nobody's fault, really. It was something he needed to learn and something she needed to contemplate. That's just what happened. Things could have taken a turn for the worse--he'd fall deeper into misery and she'd be spent trying to accommodate him all the while being uncertain of their future together. Women--actually people, not just women--aren't baby blankets, you know. People can only soak up so much from others, even if they were your family or significant other. Psychiatric therapists exist to help remedy that somewhat.
As for MC and his ex, they just both became weary. It just meant they were not the one for each other. It was a good thing they broke up.
Though I cannot say the same about her cheating. At least out of respect for their 10 years, it would have been better to go out with another guy some time AFTER breaking up with MC.
Like, I can't condone the cheating at all, but I understand where she's coming from. Though I frankly would have taken a different approach to things if I were her.
But that's just life. We're all individuals and we all have our own thoughts. At least these two have found closure in this chapter of their lives. Those 10 years weren't a waste--they've grown together and learned a lot, for better or for worse.
I just like that they now have closure. I don't want them to get back together, lol that would just waste everything they've done so far, but at least they had closure. And if possible, it's better if they could be civil around each other as two fellow adults.
