journal entry #4

In "He's just not that into you," Jen and Ben are a couple that have been together for a very long time. 7 years, in fact. Jen really wants to get married, but Ben really doesn't, and whenever Jen brings it up, Ben gives his reasons for not wanting to get married. Eventually, they break up, because Jen doesn't like the fact that he won't agree with her on the idea of getting married. After being apart for a little while, they realize that they'd rather be together and not married, then not together at all. At this point, Jen has made a compromise for the relationship. She will agree to be with Ben, even if they aren't married. Ben, however, compromises as well by proposing to her. Both parties have now made compromises for the other person, and they live happily ever after.
