While Ben said he would have “liked it to go a different way,” he also acknowledged “it is what it is.” “Like, I’m heartbroken,” he added, “but I’ll be all right.”
After Ben’s car drove away, Tayshia said “it was extremely disappointing” that he didn’t show “one ounce of emotion.” “There was no emotion at all,” she said. ”He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t mad. He wasn’t sad. It kinda felt empty, and I just felt like, ’Please make me feel like these past few weeks meant anything to you.'”
She also admitted she didn’t expect their relationship to end this way. “I really did consider Ben someone I could end up with at the end of this,” she said. ”But, like, I’ve put a lot of my, like, time and energy into pulling things out of Ben, and I can’t do that every single time.”
In the car, Ben reflected on the breakup. “I’m not sure how I’m supposed to fall out of love with her,” he said. “Maybe she loved me and she thought I didn’t love her back. And then if that’s the case, I f–kin’ blew it.”
