In this blog post it is about to people who are on a vacation waiting on a train to arrive so they can get to there destination. While having a few drinks the couple have a few disagreements that causes the women to look at him in a different light. Possibly in my eyes leaving the relationship. Hills Like White Elephants (Ernest Hemingway) Does she stay in her relationship with the man?
I believe that she leaves him. The story itself did not provide much detail or information. From the text it seems to me that she may be pregnant, and the man wants her to get an abortion. A simple operation and blowing air in seems like that to me. During their conversation she was saying that the both of them would be able to enjoy all of these great pleasures of the world. His argument was that their lives would be better if she gets this operation. She made a statement that compared to the drink that they were both tasting for the first time saying that, when you wait a while for something and it tastes like licorice. I'm going to assume that she is talking about black licorice. To me she saying that she may have wanted a baby and maybe after finally falling pregnant the guy didn't want it. So its like a bitter sweet moment and she feels like her happiness is going away. As for him she has to get this ''operation'' it may be leaving a bad taste in her mouth just like someone who does not enjoy licorice. As the argument progressed she started to feel frustrated with him to the point that she wanted him to be quiet. I believe that once she had sometime to herself while he was moving their luggage to get ready for the train to come she made her mind up to leave the relationship. I guess from her look when he asked if she was okay and she said I'm fine. I know when a woman says she is fine she is fine and over the relationship. When have you made a important choice to stay in a relationship or leave a relationship -- OR -- stay or leave a difficult situation? When I was 16 years old I was a mother to a month old baby. During this time I was still with my daughters father. He had graduated high school and started furthering his education. Once he left high school our relationship started to get a little bumpy. He was starting to act distant. One day I went to call him I asked him ''Can you come over its been a while since you visited your daughter.'' He said ''Yea when I get the time plus my homie wants to see the baby.'' I was a bit irritated because I felt like why can't you come by yourself and not bring people to my home. I spoke back and said ''Well I need to talk to you as well so could you come by yourself.'' He says ''Ard cool.'' As expected he did not come over to visit. Now during this time period he has not called or I have to call him. By this time my daughter is four months old. I knew that at that time I had feelings for him but not like before and I knew that our relationship was over. It hurt but I knew it was best. Our last conversation went like Me ''Can we talk about us?'' Him ''What about it.?'' Me ''Do you still want to be with me?'' Him "I mean Mosha I'm out of high school and I'm not dating no one that is in high school.'' That statement crushed me I was so hurt I just didn't understand why. Me ''So is the reason why you haven't been here to at least see your daughter.'' Him ''Mosha I don't have time for this.'' That was the end of our relationship. I thought that he was the love of my life. I thought that he was going to be my husband. That was one of my most difficult situations that I had to leave from.

Hey Mosha, I can’t say to what extent, but I know how it feels to be completely hurt because the one that you love doesn’t feel the same about you. Especially, when there is a little one involved, and you just feel like this was suppose to be a family thing (I know I did). You are so strong to endure it and get over it. Time heals all wounds, I’m glad yours closed up successfully.
