Jonah Hill might be (is certainly) the prototypical neurotic jewish guy who made his insecurities into an asset in comedy. But in handling his attention-wh*re of a girlfriend he demonstated not only his years of therapy but his character as a gentleman, and wisdom as a professional, by speaking the truth honestlyl, plainly, and succintly, about the requirements for maintaining trust in a relationship with him.
Now, we all have to admit that he ‘chose poorly’ by dating an attention-wh*re, who clearly valued that public attention for her sexuality, over his attention in a relationship.
That’s what we all do in relationships. We trade opportunity external to the realtionship for the opportunity internal to the relationship, whenever such opportunity would impinge upon our trust in the exclusivity and therefore durability of our relationship as a long term investment.
Now she’s a prototypical female. And she’s not free of neuroticism herself. And of course she demonstrated female privilege by the usual claiming she’s a victim (despite that she’s strayed before).
So I don’t think he could ahve handled it better. And I kind of prefer that he did it in text so it’s not a he-said vs she-said thing. We can see that in fact he was a gentleman and professional in handling these matters.
Lets hope he chooses less hot-crazy indexing next time.
Cheers
