not to be that guy, but i finished this before in five days.

I was with a Park until July of last year. She was five years older than me, which I figure created a huge divide for us. Prejudice and all. She was all for stability, which I didn't have. Unlike Eve, I tried for her. I worked out compromises that would have our interests entertained. I got a job as a copywriter, didn't pay well but was stable. She was happy about it, until I told her that after saving enough I would leave to freelance as writer and voice actor. She didn't like that and eventually left. Besides the multitudes of reasons why there was so much unnecessary pressure on me from both of us, and the other issues that are too sensitive to talk about here, that took the cake. Because unlike Eve, I tried my Park's way. But I guess she wasn't just looking for me take a similar direction as her wishes, but also the manner and pace.

I understand where she was coming from especially now that I'm in the position of feeling the helplessness and the feeling of obligation for someone you love that is struggling. But you shouldn't suggest a fix that you find right in your perspective because they might not feel the same way. My current paramour once said "don't feel like you have to fix someone before you can love them." It makes me feel helpless sometimes, but she'll get there at her own pace, and I've decided to be there every step of the way.
