I saw that comic today and thought it was clever and a bit poignant, but I also thought it was false and it made me a little angry.
The lady in the comic should grow up and release the Disney princess fantasies she was force fed as a child. Quietly revising your definition of love from the 'there's one prince out there and we'll have sex like 20 yr olds 4 EVAR!' is a healthy and adult thing to do, because otherwise she really will become wistful and discover this was not the happy ending she'd hoped for. Friendship is the rock on which lifelong love (and sex) is built.
Except it ended with: she got knocked up on a fling while she was supposed to be 'thinking about her feelings for him', and he decided never to talk to her again because she obviously didn't value their friendship.
It summarizes the problem quite well with the final statement's irony. The entire strip makes it clear that he hasn't got that much respect for her either.
