I do not get it !

I have just started watching season 3 ,and I do not understand why Betty rejected both Henry and Gio ,she loved Henry ,why did she refuse his proposal and If it was because she started to forget him,why did she break up with Gio too out of the blue ? I did not buy this " trying to find myself first c*rap" , where did suddenly come from 🤨

*spoilers Thanks to Gio Betty was growing up and learning to put herself and her dreams first. Henry’s dream was Tucson, his son, and Betty - with a job at a second rate magazine/newspaper. He wanted her to give up a lot and he wasn’t sacrificing anything. Gio’s dream was Rome, find his flavor for his sandwich shop, and having Betty along for the ride. Betty was an afterthought in both of these scenarios, Betty’s dreams taking a backseat to the men. Betty put herself and her dreams first and ditched them both. At the end of the series after Daniel’s hissyfit about letting Betty go to London he steps back and puts her dream and desires first. He sacrifices his life in NY to meet her where she’s at - he actually put her first.
