That was....interesting.
It points out a flaw I too often see in people, especially women (not meaning to be sexist)
They think people can change, if they try hard enough.
But the truth is, people don't really change unless "they" want to. There isn't a way to force it. The story was a sad one, with not really a good way to see it end. I was actually kind of happy with how it ended. While it wasn't the most "adult" thing to do, it was something that needed to be done. Because once again, people don't change unless they want to. Chances are she had not changed at all, and he did not change either.
Wow, the more I read myself, the more I sound like a cold hearted bastard.
I guess I'll end with my choice. The Objective based squad combat. It is what I like to do, and nobody should issue me an ultimatum to have to change from doing what I like. No one but me.
