Yes I do feel sorry for the artist. Truly, I don't that calling her a nutter or ridiculing her behaviour is great. I know that people get depersonalised when we are talking here...exes become idiots etc...there is nothing wrong in venting. But sharing every intimate detail...including when the poor woman is dumped, makes me uncomfortable. Imagine that someone was talking about you on a forum and then imagine how they might make you feel...
Clearly anyone who moves so quickly and bonds so deeply too soon, has issues or simply throws herself in without protecting herself. She is vulnerable. It was too full on, too early and would have scared anyone off. Perhaps an honest but kind assessment for her might help her in future. She has to be cooler, less intense.
I got very angry and (although I HATE the phrase) bunner boileresque when my ex walked out. Admittedly it was after 20 years and a shock - so I was beyond hurt and fury. Had a breakdown, felt almost psychotic rage...so perhaps I understand the artist's feelings and reactions....although she seems to have latched and formed Bant in her head as something more than a casual sexual partner.
Not Bant's fault - it couldn't continue - but less than two weeks before Christmas is an awful time to be dumped.
People are human and I think we all owe it to anyone coming into their life to treat them as well as we can manage. I would never get involved with someone if they appeared so fragile. It's also the reason I loathe the film Fatal Attraction - the women there was clearly disturbed and terribly needy - the man has an affair but ultimately he gets away with things and she suffers the ultimate price. I hated the way women were portrayed in that film - either saintly wives or crazy.
Snape - so sorry that you did not get the job. You are having a rotten week. I hope it gets better - you are owed some good karma.
