News Recap: Man Tops Up Ex-Girlfriend's Electricity Bill by 30,000 Yuan in an Attempt to Reconcile
Recently, a PowerPoint presentation titled "Breakup Gift" recorded by Xiao Hu, a college student from Hangzhou, for his ex-girlfriend in Chengdu, has sparked heated discussions online. In the video, Xiao Hu shows taking care of all her needs after the breakup: attaching heel pads to her high heels and topping up her Alipay account with 30,000 yuan for electricity. Xiao Hu felt that although they had broken up, he wanted to do everything he could. The woman, however, stated that there was no going back and wanted to return the 30,000 yuan electricity bill so they would be even.
Netizens have expressed their opinions on this matter.
Want to cry but no tears: I personally think this kind of person is so foolish. Before doing something for someone, you should consider whether that person is worth it.
Mo is too wild: In a long-distance relationship, when I have period cramps and I tell you, you tell me to drink more hot water; when I'm sick and I tell you, you tell me to see a doctor and take good care of myself; when I'm in a bad mood and I tell you, you give me a bunch of advice and tell me to think positively. After a while, I don't want to tell you anymore. This is the same answer I'd get if I told someone I'm not close to. All I want is a hug and company. Being there for me without doing anything is better than a bunch of pointless chatter.
Old Ma (Billy): Not seeking the "best," but the "most understanding." Blessing each other is perhaps the most appropriate thing to do. For each of us, it's an experience, and also growth.
Bei256: This girl is pretty good! My ex-boyfriend kept asking me for money, probably around four thousand yuan, and he also asked me to buy him gifts worth over a thousand yuan. Later, he wanted to break up and blocked me without saying a word. He still hasn't paid me back!
Labor and management are good friends: I think a breakup should be clean and decisive. If you feel there is still affection between you, don't say "break up" lightly.
Hua Liang Yiran Zai: In the end, it's still because of the distance. If we were together every day, things wouldn't be like this.
How admirable: There aren't many exes like this anymore; a long-distance relationship still ended in a breakup.
Mommy-Beauty: [Sad][Sad] Love can't withstand distance, and this is a perfect example of that.
How can a long-distance relationship be maintained?
Many netizens commented on their experiences with long-distance relationships. While distance shouldn't be a problem in love, in reality, long-distance relationships are prone to difficulties. How can long-distance couples maintain their relationship?
1. Maintain communication and stay online.
Couples who are not in a long-distance relationship can spend more time together, traveling and doing activities together. Long-distance couples, however, can only listen to each other's voices or watch each other's videos, but cannot travel together. To maintain a stable relationship, frequent phone calls and video calls are essential, at least once a day.
2. Make commitments or set principles for each other.
Long-distance couples often struggle to stay informed about each other's whereabouts and activities due to physical separation. When committing to a long-distance relationship, it's crucial to establish clear principles, such as confirming the relationship, abstaining from dating other people of the opposite sex, and meeting only once every three months. It's essential to uphold these promises and never break them.
3. Send small gifts from time to time.
People in long-distance relationships often feel a pang of loneliness when they see other couples together during holidays. At such times, a personalized, loving gift like chocolates, a hand-knitted sweater, roses, or a photograph can bring immense joy and surprise.
4. Share each other's joys and sorrows.
Long-distance couples each have their own wonderful lives. Why not share interesting things or difficult problems with each other? Letting your partner help you solve problems and share your joys and sorrows is more conducive to the deepening and longevity of your relationship.
5. Trust the other party
Due to geographical limitations, long-distance relationships often lack timely communication, leading to uncertainty about each other's whereabouts and a tendency to rely on hearsay and unfounded accusations, resulting in distrust. If you truly love your partner, you must fully trust them and strengthen your connection; otherwise, you'll be destroying your long-distance relationship yourself.
Maintaining a long-distance relationship takes more time and effort than a regular relationship. If you can't afford it, it means your relationship isn't close enough, so don't waste your time on a long-distance one. When true love conquers all, long-distance relationships can ultimately succeed.
