Again .. innocent , I disagree . I think we can agree that it is 99% both people mistake when a relationship is at the edge of break up , like this one . Sayn just helps with his behavior , zero pride , zero “ superiority “ , zero personality to show that he has balls between his pants , pack and leave the “ confused “ girlfriend alone , helpless and stunned of “ what did he do ? Did he just abandon me ? “ Anytime surrendering to the wishes of his girlfriend , he loses her more and more and more .
Maybe ( this came now in my mind ) he is also in a kind of “ debt “ to her , maybe “ obliged “ to her and that’s why he behaves like this . Perhaps he didn’t have a place to live when he met Elli and Elli accepted him in the apartment after forming the relationship . Maybe because of her managed to get gradually income , he managed to escape the war , perhaps Elli helped him in many things that we don’t know or we ignore and this might be a reasons that he doesn’t go .
