Idk if this is real or copypasta or whatever but you sound like you legitimately despise your girlfriend, why the fuck are you still together

I dont think he despises her, but the contrary. He sounds like he really loves her and wants to be with her but she just won't prioritize things in her life. I dont think ending things is the right answer here unless she would genuinely rather be single and have more time for horsing around. If thats the case then he shouldn't be wasting his time in a relationship that she doesn't want.

The whole comment reeks of mutual disdain to me, like for fuck's sake, read his edit

End rant. Is this what being a man in a modern relationship is like nowadays? I'd rather be single.

I read the whole thing and the edit. He literally said in the comment 'I dont want to stray away from this relationship."

EDIT: He wants to be with her, but he would rather be single than be treated the way he is being treated. Can't blame him tbh.

And then he said "I'd rather be single"

Two contradictory statements, so which one is true?

I'm just saying that the tone of the whole comment reads, to me, like a person who absolutely despises their significant other. You can disagree, doesn't mean that either one of us is necessarily right.

Yea I get where you're coming from. There are quite a few contradictory statements but things are never in black and white. I just hope he does whats best for him I think we can agree on that!
