It's a nice to feel like you could dump someone on the spot like that. But it's simply not the reality of most people's lives. 10 seconds ago you felt like you'd spend the rest of your lives together, and now you're heart broken. You might want to immediately break up, but in reality it won't be enough to throw your time together in the trash.
Emotions aside, there's finances usually involved. You're both on the lease. You put your name down on that car loan they got. You can't afford to live alone because you budgeted your expenses assuming you'd always have their paycheck to rely on.
Most people in serious long term relationships can't just immediately end it on a whim without fucking up their own life.
I never understood how sitting around watching Netflix and playing vidya was so bad. Be thankful he's not out looking for some girl to fuck or even worse doing drugs or something
Although the acts are the same, you're comparing two different outcomes.
One was her being selfish and wanting to have sex with others on her own. The second is a group decision that he immediately regrets. I don't see why he didn't deserve sympathy. The problem in his story was he probably moved too quickly. The problem for her was she was only thinking of herself.
There's no reaching with this one. She acknowledged she would be tempted to sleep around in another country. She claimed this was in the interest of "experiences" while traveling. She clearly didn't think her boyfriend would be getting any action while gone, judging from the line about her boyfriend's lifestyle and being a homebody. She ended up going overseas, not having the experience she was expecting, and then felt betrayed because her boyfriend didn't have the same bad luck she did. While I don't know the person, going from the way she worded this she would have zero issues if the situation was reversed and he got none and she was out fucking other guys.
Bullshit, its totally possible for people to have casual/no strings sex more than just once if that's the agreed upon arrangement. It doesn't automatically become "a relationship".
Totally fake. Why? The little old lady neighbor who gives the female narrator a perfect look into what is happening on the other side of the story. Think about it for a minute and you will realize this is a extremely convenient for the plot.

She'd still be upset. She was 100% expecting he wouldn't get laid at all and so basically the relationship would be open only for her.

There's no reaching with this one. She acknowledged she would be tempted to sleep around in another country. She claimed this was in the interest of "experiences" while traveling. She clearly didn't think her boyfriend would be getting any action while gone, judging from the line about her boyfriend's lifestyle and being a homebody. She ended up going overseas, not having the experience she was expecting, and then felt betrayed because her boyfriend didn't have the same bad luck she did.
