Issac Dumped Himself

As i was watching Woody Allen's film Manhattan i realized that in the storyline, allen had made it very apparant that he was dumping himself, it is a long shoted concept but please follow along as best as you can. Okay so i am terrible with names so i will do the best i can to represent the characters through other means. The woman who played Annie in Annie Hall, she was having an affair with Yale. She loved him but did not want to break up his relationship with his wife, so she broke it off. she later than dated Issac because he was fun, funny, smart, and other reasons that i will not get into (sexy). while Issac and the chick were still dating, she realized that she still loved Yale. Now what i find fascinating is that even though you might still love some one you do not leave your current partner unless something from an old relationship has changed. Well nothing had changed in Yale's life, he was still willing to leave his wife in order to be with "Annie" and nothing else has changed. Yale's personality had not changed in the slightest, nothing had changed. what had changed was "Annie's" ability to accept Yale leaving her wife, the reason for this was because of a chance on perception towards the men in her life. She saw that being with Issac was not as good as being with Yale, thus she had accepted the terms in which Yale had set for her in order for the two to be together. In a long convoluded way, Issac's own love with "Annie" was what drove her away from him. It is sad but in a strange way, Issac Dumped Himself.
