Matt agreed to the sync period, I guess he desperately love her. This went on when she was in school, they were several sq km apart from each other but they tried to maintain a constant and healthy relationship. after a while the relationship seems to be working out and they discussed further about things they like and dislike.. then shortly into the second month they started having issues like time consistency and affection. apparently Matt seemed to be attention-demanding and was always complaining that Irene had very little time for him.... for crying out loud she is a medical student. she barely has enough time for herself and she tries her best to explain everything to him but it seems Matthew does not understand even when he claims to. They argue constantly, they fight constantly and Irene tries to fix the problem every single time without staying mad for long....
