"What happened is fine, as long as people realize he's not a bad guy or a red flag. They're just different people. She's political, he's not," added another user.

One X user mentioned, "It¡¯s right on impossible to have a long-term relationship with someone if their core beliefs don¡¯t match yours. Luckily she realized that and actually did them both a favor. I think he knows that too; he was trying too hard to make it work.
