You're speaking some truth. It's ridiculous to expect someone to be single-mindedly devoted to their partner. That's a closed loop that personally drive me insane. Both partners should be engaged with life as well as each other. The man in the comic should focus more on his relationship, and the woman should focus less. And yeah, if she was having that big an issue, she should talk about it. The message here isn't very thought out. It could even become harmful.
