I think that there is a bit of "the Cueball doth protest too much" in here.  He's fighting Megan's explanations without giving his own.{{unsigned|Theo}}

The explaination of the title text seems off. It reads more like the author saying that an obsessive mindset (going so far as to think that you are nothing without the other person) is "fucked up" in the sense of dangerous or undesirable, implying that people shouldn't measure self worth by a relationship to another. In fact, I'm gonna change the comment.[[User:Pennpenn|Pennpenn]] ([[User talk:Pennpenn|talk]]) 01:51, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 
 
 
The title text could be a continuation of the Kübler-Ross model for grief.  The constant repeating of Cueball that he loves Megan would be the denial phase, while the transition to heavy cursing in the title text could be a sign of moving on to anger.

Weird. I almost never use the random button on xkcd, but I did yesterday 2-3 times, and then once today. The last I came to yesterday was this comic. And I may have missed seeing this before, even though I believed I have been through at least the first 600 comics... Or maybe it just did not register the first time? But today it did as the first comic I got with random was [[489: Going West]] where Megan breaks up with Cueball who do not wish to break up. And they are only 40 comics between. I can also not remember reading that one before. But they are so similar, and that I got those on two random comics in a row is just weird and fun to me! --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 10:35, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
 
I read the title text very differently. Cueball is saying "I love you" over and over again instead of saying "I'm nothing without you", because he knows that it's a fucked up thing to say. But it's what he wants to say. Gonna at least add that. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.38.120|172.68.38.120]] 22:10, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
