Search Results: when to let go

What has she thrown away?

I am a good guy, sensitive and I don’t drink/club/smoke. We got on and had chemistry. I am a guy who ticked all her boxes on paper, same culture and religion. In the same top career like her, I’m from a really good family that is very wealthy. Her parents liked me. I’m tall, good looking and in shape. It’s like I’ve got every gift out there and still wasn’t enough :(

In the end I was fighting for her which is kind of crazy because she should be fighting for a guy like me too.

In the end I didn’t do anything fundamentally wrong I was a good boyfriend. Her reasons were just a bit retarded thinking I’m a player, it could get messy, didn’t make her feel special.

We all make small mistakes, but I tried to be a good boyfriend and invested a lot of my time and energy and was committed. I don’t think I will ever understand how she just let me go. Very painful.

To me, I call that "underemployment." Sure, a job is a job, but if you have specialized training and/or a degree in something and most of the added jobs out there are assembly line workers and menial labor roles, I don't see those as being job market successes.

Imagine being a seasoned software engineer or an attorney to then have to go work on a hot factory floor behind an assembly line or nailing frames together on a building. Let's say $18/hr vs $55/hr... that's a huge difference.

Yes, those jobs are more suitable for some, and there isn't anything necessarily bad about them, but for those who put the extra time and efforts to educate themselves further, that's a huge slap in the face.
