In all seriousness I think the person who created this had a point with the silly phrase but the image to match it is just some negative mentality that a lot of people tend to have after one relationship gone wrong and then they swear to never date again while falling for someone else like a day later. 😂 I guess my whole point is I think the image is super dramatic and although I think the phrase is super corny and silly I think it would have been less corny and silly if the image had a more uplifting, positive, and realistic outcome for both individuals in the story because that’s definitely possible when in situations like these whether we wanna look at it that way or not.

@Stark What if it's not supposed to be perceived dramatically and it's just that we're too quick to assume the girl leaves the guy on the boat for the other guy and not because she actually has no feelings for him anymore? 🤔
@SW-User Why else would she leave the other guy if she’s no longer interested ? Especially with the phrase it kind of sums up what the image is meant to portray. Although, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her leaving the other guy for someone else if she’s no longer interested is really my whole point lol. Just like I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him being single, or moving on. It just portrayed it as a one sided happiness and only one seems to benefit from the situation judging from the image. When really both individuals benefit in a situations like these, the phrase itself doesn’t portray that but the image does to me.

@Stark Well, you know there really is such thing as leaving someone for someone else but you have feelings for both of them. Or maybe I'm just overthinking about this image lol.
Anyway, I think you raised a strong argument in how you perceived the image. But then, different people have different points of views about their broken relationships. For instance, you have a positive attitude towards the quote because you don't let heartbreaks bother you much. But there are others who see the quote as a bad recall of their past relationships that they can't quite get over. It's a real deal and I don't think it's silly at all, to be honest 🤔

@SW-User lol there’s nothing wrong with that either is my whole point. There’s nothing wrong with her leaving for whatever reason she chooses too. I think people are just being limited in their way of thinking when viewing this. As if there’s only one or negative out comes to situations like this and I think that’s what the image is portraying.
1. she’s a terrible person for choosing to leave.
2. There’s no option for happiness when it comes to situation likes these and there’s just a cynical outlook on the world and how life tends to work out.
The reason I view this completely differently is because I use to think the complete opposite of what I think now and I use to be super cynical I probably would have agreed with this whole heartily at that time but I really just changed my out look on people and how they work and I just see images like these all the time displaying basically just one option for the outcome usually something keeping people in the negative state they currently are.

@Stark Well, I definitely support your urge to look at things more positively :D And you're not wrong. Most comments I've seen on this post so far are pretty negative and cynical, and that must be because of how the message was portrayed with the image.
