I'll have to disagree, she has to work on herself and how to handle emotions like this. I get what you guys are saying but Sean was also getting the short end of the stick because Lindsey had her issues to figure out. She saw this and was responsible and kind enough to not keep dragging him through a relationship where she was becoming less than an ideal partner.Raven_nevermore wrote:It seems like a cop out. Lindsey was with him a really long time so for her to say that is the reason is not the whole story. Exactly you’re right that if she is the problem how can she expect to make it work later on without being able to fix it now without breaking up. People these days give up really easy. No one wants to stick out the bad times because they think the grass is greener. I think Lindsey got the 4 year itch (5 year? How long were they together?) and fell out of love. Probably they both stopped putting in effort.ubfrud wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 6:38 pmi made a user rn in order to say that this breakup drives me nuts?? yeah i'm going to respect the decision, but what happened to try to get to know your own emotions and attachment style while in the relationship? if you're the problem, how can you be that close to another person again without encountering the same emotions?
i'm upset because of personal reasons, obviously. what lindsey so well articulated in the video is something i can relate to in my own relationship. as well as can many other of the people in the comments. maybe lindsey is right and i'm wrong and no first long-term relationship can make you grow independent, but gosh darn, i refuse to accept that ? yeah it's more emotional labor when you're committed to someone, but ain't that the beauty of it all? i'm trying to valid all my emotions, even if they're bad ones. i understand fully and completely that they can take over and make you bitter and defensive, and i don't like when that happens to me either. but i'm not perfect, and if this is part of being a human, i hope and think my significant other knows that they're with all parts of me. it's a long life.
this comment is loaded with emotions, i'm sorry. it seemed like lindsey truly believed this was the right decision for her, so i'm not going to doubt it. i'm just sad that it didn't work out. i wish good things upon both of them
She said there isn't any bad blood, at least she made sure she didn't just up and screw him over.
We all know she has the funds to break this lease or even her parents could give her a hand if she absolutely did not want to be in Boise especially because without Sean she truly has no one. Her choosing to stay says to me she has hopes that with her fixing her problems she could give this relationship another try. She's actually doing this the right way IMO.
Not to mention Lindsey has never been in a long term serious relationship like this. She's doing as best as she can.
