I don't think it's ever healthy to keep someone in your life who brings you more pain than happiness, but that's probably easier said than done. I hope he's been as kind as possible, but I have no idea. I don't think he was faking it (as much as I've been down on him lately for certain things, that would just be beyond, and I didn't see it that way at all)--it was probably a fantasy vs. reality thing, probably a little immaturity, who knows. Just the way things happen sometimes. But obviously the rejection still hurts her a lot, so yeah, I agree that she'd be much better off with some distance. Personally if not geographically.
