My GF wants to cut cords with 2 guys she from her past. This is the 1st one. She didn't record the lighting of the candles nor did she capture the whole ending. From the initial lighting of the candles, both flames started and burned equally. Up until the cord caught flame, they burned rather evenly with the male candle flame burning high once. Once the thread caught flame (we used kitchen twine) from her side, only one side caught flame and burned down; it didn't burn from his end but rather candle wax poured onto that side of the string until it finally burned off. It took a while longer for the other side to burn and it started from her side. His flame finally burned the cords and his flame burned higher which lead to his candle burning down quickly. Her candle burned steady for about another 10 minutes after his flamed out to a patch of burnt wax. Her candled seemed to burn out evenly and ended in a rather typical mound of burnt wax; his candled flamed burned higher and hotter and his candled ended up looking like a pile of s*** and cracked/split. What does all of this mean?
