People. Disappointment. No matter what, I think believe everyone needs to be prepared for the event of someone they love disappointing them. Since it is inevitable in this life we live, I think I'd want to impart my own takes on how to deal with it.
There's always the first option: Cut them the fuck off.
Now, if I was completely honest, this is the easiest option. It's easy to cut anyone off because that means never having to deal with them ever again and not putting up with the crap they give you. I'm sorry if you ever have to put up with a severe amount of crap from anyone. Don't put yourself through that, man.
Second Option: Don't suggest but demand some fucking changes.
I think that many of us love the disappointing person too much to say anything or they fear what the repercussions maybe or if they should even say anything at all. Well, let me tell you, if you are getting frustrated by their actions it's time to speak up. Tell them what you're feeling, what you actually want from the relationship, and if they're not willing to change or prove anything to you, drop 'em.
Third option: Brace yourself.
This should be the very first thing but I'm sure many of you are past the point in which you can brace yourself. If you're that rare person that has yet to be disappointed, then brace yourself. It's bound to happen. Realize that shit happens and you just have to continue on either dealing with it or not.
Guys, I love this world. I think it's beautiful and I love it so much but I can't begin to tell you that it's straining and painful loving it all far too much. I'm in the love with everyone and no one all at once. I'm all for the chaos and peace and I can't tell you how conflicting it all is. People suck but, oh god, are there so many beauties out there. No one is the same and that's amazing.
I don't know this man but I love him and hope he's doing well. He had more soul than half the people down at the Santa Monica Pier (most of whom were on their phones). If you don't see the soul in everyone you meet then are you really paying attention to the person in front of you?
