The lack of respect for her partner has been stressed often enough.This does not mean that you have to agree with Ken's reaction. Dumping her is fine. But this does not help with the impression that he tried to avoid to cope with the situation himself. Such a behavior like the one by his girlfriend would have caused a big argument in my long going relationship with my last SO. We would have got loud. We most probably would have insulted each other at some point. But in the end, we would have got some kind of result for our relationship, either a compromise, or one would have been convinced of the point of the other, or one would have been content to tolerate the other's position, depending on the situation. This always worked, in all those thirteen years. Of course, this needs both parties being ready to talk, and because usually only one is not content with the situation, this sometimes needs some demonstration of the urgency of the situation. Whether you get loud during this exchange is a matter of personal style <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.What I see here is some kind of substitute act. Instead of dealing with the situation himself, the solution is pushed off to some anonymous organization. This might serve some kind of revenge, but I suppose the effect will feel somewhat shallow. I guess it will leave him with the feeling that he has not really tried enough to save the relationship. And from what I can see, as little as it is, this might be true.</blockquote>
