“She Wants To Chase Butterflies”: Man Tries To Understand Why Fiancée Left Him, Internet Doesn’t Hold Back
To paraphrase a popular saying, man plans, fate laughs. Reddit user Concordian thought he had met the one, and the two of them had it all figured out. An engagement, a house, and a shared vision of the future seemed firmly in place. But the man’s fiancée started to grow distant, pulling away without ever clearly explaining why. As the emotional gap widened, the couple reached a point where their relationship no longer made sense. And now, they’re separating, leaving him searching for answers, and asking the internet if anyone else has been through something similar—and how to move forward.

The people with poor reading comprehension are out again. No he didn't think she was done travelling because she went on some trips, he thought they were meeting her passion on such a thing by taking multiple multiple trips every year. Nothing implied he thought she was done travelling? So many people are used to automatically assuming man = evil. And while its possible he was wrong, neglected her and her attempts to communicate, the amount of such heavy judgement... for someone who was self aware enough to state that yes? He wasnt a perfect partner? People just want to assume the man has to be the bad guys instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Well, with the way reddit is, I bet you could tweek this post to flip the genders of the people involved, and it would be overwhelmingly in OP favor
