Guilty pleasure, I know, but I sometimes watch these Jeremy Kyle, Jerry Springer type show, and every now and then these stories crop up, I was a fat slob now I a skinny dominatrix, wait till you see his face.
Only without exception the guy never really cares and it falls flat. Either he doesn't remember her, is happy for her that she isn't a whale anymore, or laughs when the LARPing dominatrix starts giving him orders.
It's like that dude who went on vacation for two weeks without his phone and his girl forgot he was away and carried on the relationship, including fights, making up, breakups, getting back together, all with no input from him, just leaving messages on his answering machine.
Something else entirely is going on in their heads, and it is pretty goofy.
I've seen that video before; it's a sad statement about where our culture is.
He was utterly correct in breaking up with her - even ignoring the infidelity - but it speaks to the generalized emotional immaturity of
people these days, not just women. They presumably had a semi-serious relationship, but she wasn't looking at the long-term. She was only looking at the instantaneous gratification As soon as something bad happened she overreacted, and blew the whole thing up. She didn't spend any time mourning - she immediately went out and found a revenge cock.
A lot of men fall into this pattern as well (myself, for instance, far more often than I care to admit). We seek out the instant gratification, fall into 'relationships' without any thought as to where they're headed, and then instead of mourning we immediately go and rebound to something else.
Longer-term thinking, humbleness, and an acceptance of mortality are essential for long-term purpose, stability, and happiness. This girl's misbehaviour is a product of our consumerist, materialist, instant-gratification culture, more than a result of female entitlement.
