That's not what happened At All.
If it's misread as such, no wonder there are so many people here thinking he had it coming.

You're partly right. What you perceive we think is indeed not what happened at all. What DID happen however is that Ironwave dropped the woman because
HE THINKS she has less respect for him now that she knows that he collects toys.
None of us know with certainty if that is actually the case, not even Ironwave himself. Her reaction led him to believe this in his own mind, but he never confirmed that with her. He never took the opportunity to explain his hobby further and instead dismissed her completely. The only person that knows for sure how she feels about his toy collecting is herself.
This wasn't about whether or not he set himself up for failure. This is about whether or not he took the right course of action to resolve the conflict that developed due to a misunderstanding: she doesn't know why he collects and he doesn't know for sure that she thinks less likely of him for it, that's just his own perception of her opinion.
