Some may consider it romantic if I tried to persuade her from doing otherwise, but I see it as selfish behavior coming from fear and scarcity, rather than abundance and love. Thank you for your comment :).
It's interesting when you actually get put to the test to literally support someone in letting you go because that's what they feel is right in their heart. I've been there, we cried, but I assured her that it's okay without any bitterness whatsoever.
