Search Results: giving up on relationship

I'll give two examples of someone giving up on love because of bad experiences with the opposite gender and someone giving up on love because their partner died.

Example 1:
Mark is traumatized with bad experiences and his bad divorce. He wants nothing to do with women and has abandoned anything having to do with true love. He's a bitter MGTOW.
Same thing for a woman in his same position. She underwent either abusive relationship or crappy men. She wants nothing to do with love nor men. She's a bitter radical feminist.

Example 2:
When Anthony was between 22-25, he witnessed his young wife getting run over by a drunk driver and she died at the scene. He gave up on anything to do with dates and love. He never recovered.
Same thing for a woman in his same position. She lost her husband in an accident years ago and hasn't dated since. She gave up on love.
