In recent days, social media has been abuzz with a video of a 50-year-old man in China, accusing a 20-year-old girl of "blocking his number without saying goodbye" after a shared bicycle trip on the Sichuan-Tibet route.

The incident quickly created a wave of debate about boundaries in relationships when traveling together, Sohu reported.

According to the man, during the trip, he paid for all the accommodation and food expenses, took the initiative to film and planned the route. However, as soon as the trip ended, the girl immediately cut off contact, making him feel like he was being taken advantage of.

The public opinion wave had not yet subsided when the girl involved quickly spoke up. She confirmed that the two met by chance in Dali and rode together under the name of "lovers", but she herself also paid a few thousand yuan for the trip. This number, although much smaller than the 30,000 yuan (more than 111 million VND) mentioned by the man, according to her, it was a reasonable expense within her ability.

She also emphasized: "I hope everyone is rational and not led by one side."

The information released showed that the trip lasted for a long time and the total cost for the man was more than 30,000 yuan, while the woman spent a few thousand yuan herself. In the eyes of outsiders, they looked like a real couple, and the man even joked that he had "already thought about the name of his future child."

But it is precisely this unbounded intimacy that breeds tragedy. Psychologists have pointed out that long journeys, especially in desolate settings, harsh weather and interdependence, can easily create an “illusion of intimacy”. It is easy for people to mistake temporary reliance for lasting affection.

The girl clearly stated: this is just companionship. The man considered it the beginning of a future relationship. That emotional imbalance, according to observers, is the real cause of the argument.

Overall, there is no sign that the girl is cheating or taking advantage. She accompanied him, cooperated in filming the video, and went through the long journey together, so it cannot be called "freeloading". The man spending more money and taking better care of her is his choice, not a commitment to bind the other party.

Some opinions said that the most unacceptable thing was the way the man posted the story online, labeling the girl as a "freeloader", making the incident appear defamatory and unfair.

In relationships, if it works, continue; if it doesn't, stop. Bringing private matters up on social media to demand "justice" usually only distorts the situation and damages the other person's reputation.
