His mistake was that he should have given her ONE eye!

I doubt he would have killed himself if she left him before he gave her his eyes.

Am I the only one who read that and thought he killed himself because she left him, not because he was despondent about the eyes?

Stupid b!tch! Once she realized he was blind she should have taken out a life insurance policy on him and capped his dumb ass. She just walked away from a whole pile of green.

You don’t give gifts expecting to get something in return.

Very true.

Instead, he gave a present and he has to be able to accept that she would take his present, thank him for it and then go live her life.

Read the story again. She doesn’t thank him for anything. She just sees that he’s blind, gets “dissappointed”, and leaves.

Both of the parties are in error in this situation, to be honest. The guy didn’t tell her they were his eyes so she didn’t know they were his in the first place. (How the hell they’re in a relationship and she knows he can see and she suddenly forgets that he should be able to see when she sees that he’s blind is beyond me, but I’m not the one who wrote the story.) You’re dead on that he should have said, “have my eyes, let’s get married”. That doesn’t mean that her reaction to her boyfriend being blind should be ignored, though.

I can see how people have the knee-jerk reaction of “what a bitch” or whatever (hey, I did too!), but they’re missing the whole point by ignoring the mistakes of the boyfriend.
