I'll tell you guys a personal story of mine from countless years ago (gods how old I am).
I was just finishing high school, and there was this girl I was crazy about her. We'd been together for a few months, but she would never accept my request for a serious relationship, even though she wasn't staying with anyone but me.
What did I do? I started getting all the other girls I wanted, and they all knew I had her. And I hid from her? No, I told her every girl I got. Did she like that? Of course not, she hated it, but still she kept me that way. If she accepted my request, I would be only with her at the exact moment. She had no right to complain.
That is, she was fully aware of everything, but chose to continue with me every time.
Was anyone in this story wrong? I think not.
