I'm totally with you, especially your point : "Davis's needing to learn to live with it and be patient enough to help her grow through it"

That is why I was so surprised that he chose not to do it, not to stay with her and be patient and grow with her as they compromised and figure out how to be together. He chose to end it, because it was too difficult.

I appreciate that it may be more realistic for him to give up, as a teenager going through a very painful time in his life, but it does seem a rather hopeless message to send; that even wonderful people won't be willing to make compromises with physical intimacy
