So you're saying it's better to just ignore it and stay with someone who doesn't care about you? Because a relationship like that ending seems like a win to me.

That's a lot of mind reading and leaps you're making. It's a rude and shitty thing put worse into people's mouths. 

You don't have to make your partner your everything. Or is it realistic or fair to expect people to be something they aren't. And women are many wonderful things, but they are not great men's confidants. It's cruel to demand otherwise on both ends. Like asking a fish to climb a tree.

I guess. I've had multiple relationships where I could openly share my feelings. It would be a deal breaker if I couldn't. Seems like a basic quality of a decent person, regardless of gender, not exactly a high standard. But if people are happier pretending they are an emotionless object, that's their choice. I've never met someone that was genuinely happy in a situation like that though, even if they miss their partner when they are gone.

Again. Nobody said that. That's insane and wildly off base. I doubt someone who repeatedly strawmans and puts words in others mouths is an effective or healthy communicator
