In my opinion, Gary is a selfish man. People are selfish. In the marriage life of two people, there will always be contradictions and conflicts, and there will always be people who need to compromise. In this story, it's clear that Gary gave less and Brooke gave more.
Gary has always measured everything in the family by his own preferences and values. He played games instead of housework; put a discordant pool table in the newly renovated house; showed great disobedience and even disrespect when Brooke's family visited; Even at the end of the film, when he personally cooks to keep Brook, he just tried it out a little, and immediately turned around after hitting a wall to save his face.
Gary is such a person, he loves Brooke, but the one person he loves the most will always be himself. It is very helpless to marry such a person. You either accept everything from him or divorce him. In short, if you want to change him and make him a good husband who is caring and caring, it is probably an impossible task.
The process of breaking up is painful. The more they know each other, the more they know each other's weaknesses and pain points, and the more they can completely hurt each other's heart. At this point, Brook's methods are not inferior to Gary's. The level of the two is evenly matched. Love and hate are the same thing.
At the end of the film, Brooke rationally chose to break up. If she had spoken out about her grievances with Gary earlier, instead of letting the resentment build up, maybe they wouldn't have made it to this painful and regrettable step. This failed marriage will become an experience in Brooke's life. She has lost a man who is not worth cherishing, but she still has her own career and a good life. She will meet another good man in her mind, maybe that person Right on the corner.
