I absolutely loved that Martha just walked away, and, by doing that, she punched all the expectations in the face. Because in a stereotypical story, she was supposed to stay with him until she fixes him, or until her tragic love kills her. You don't give up on a broken dude. You love him, and your love is a test in perseverance. Except not. Not with Martha Jones, who had it in her to say "I quit, because I see this is pointless. I have a life. I want my life." Just like that. And it's not that I admire that she was able to acknowledge that she got rejected and humbly accept her fate. No. I admire that she knew she wasn't obliged to keep loving him only because he supposedly needed her. Her own well-being was important to her. YAY Martha Jones!
