Gaten Matarazzo, known for his role in Stranger Things, has offered his take on what happened to Dustin’s girlfriend. In an interview with Business Insider, Matarazzo admitted he didn’t talk to the show’s creators, the Duffer brothers, about it, but he has a personal theory. He believes Dustin likely ended the long-distance relationship while dealing with his grief, explaining that if Dustin was distancing himself from close friends, a long-distance girlfriend would probably be cut off too. While he hopes Dustin handled it kindly, he suspects Dustin wasn’t in a very considerate state of mind at the time.
