Getting dumped on the A train is harsh

Last night I was on the A train heading to the gym when I had to turn down the volume of my iPod and very sneakily listen to the conversation going on next to me. There was a couple breaking up. The guy was breaking up with the girl and, boy oh boy, it seemed like she did not see it coming or at least was resisting. The guy was nice (in his tone) but very resolute. He was not going to change his mind. I make this assessment based on the lines he used.

1. There is nothing for us here in this relationship.
2. I feel that you are just going with the relationship without saying what you want.
3. (This is the kicker) When people are in a long term (not any more!) relationship, you at some point think about or even talk about marriage, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen.

That last point was harsh. The girl looked like someone stabbed her in the chest then spat in her face. It was so sad. So sad that I had to turn away. Her argument was that she didn't see the problems and that their 5 years together have been great. Poor girl.

But I guess he's right. Most people who have been together for some period of time have either talked about marriage or at least thought about it. It crosses your mind even if for a brief moment. And it's a sad situation when two people are not on the same page. Sad initially, but I am sure better in the long run. Anyway, the weird part was that the guy got off with me -not with me...that would have been so bad- at 59th St and the girl stayed on the train. I hope this wasn't the entire break up. I hope it was a meeting of second hopes and chances (which were crushed) and that it wasn't all contained to a break up on the train. That would make things so much harsher.
