I agree with what the concensus...time to move on. I think the "10 years" statement is trying to discourage your friend
in a gentle way.
I don't think the following scenario applies to Sydney, I just remembered this happening to my dear friend since reading your post. He was a Senior in college, she was a Freshman...so that alone makes a big difference.
Boyfriend was from River Oaks in Houston. Lots and LOTS of money and family connections. Yes, he loved her (as much as he would allow himself to) but in his mind, she really didn't fit in with his vision of the future. So, they dated and shared a very physical relationship, but he began dating behind her back. The talks began to focus on HIS future and somehow, she never was included in the picture. One day he announced they had grown apart. Shortly after that he married another with the "right" credentials.
Pretty much like "Pretty In Pink" without the happy ending.
