He asked if she wanted to continue. That's it. It only takes one to decide to end it. That's not "power"
I don't know if he would or not, but I won't respond for him.
The point is that he wanted it to continue and she didn't. I wouldn't describe it as "power". I felt terrible when I broke up with my gf of 2 years back in 2020. She tried to get me to stay with her, and I wouldn't. But to describe that as having the "power" just seems heartless to me.
I'm speaking to personal empowerment, which seems particularly relevant and needed here. The man is hurting and he can take steps to fix that.
