Allie and Noah’s split wasn’t all down to their parents. There was a lot of unlived time between the two of them and in the end, the imperfections of their summer of love couldn’t be sustained in the cold light of reality. Their time together was at a low ebb when her parents disapproved of him. Not only was Noah young for Allie but he had no future to speak of and that worried her. The war affected them both deeply and when she met up with Lon again, he was everything Noah wasn’t: safe, secure and very grown-up. He was the perfect antidote to her difficult and anarchic relationship with Noah. In choosing Lon over Noah, Allie showed the natural human conflict between the head and the heart.

Allie leaves the poor but loving Noah in 'The Notebook' for a number of reasons including her wealthy parents dislike of him for him being from below their station. This powerful family can make Allie do as they want and they want her to leave for New York immediately.

Allie’s uncertainties are played out in her inability to make a decision between her passion for Noah and her desire for stability with Noah provided by her family and the war. As the years have gone by and Allie is confronted by the reality of growing up she begins to question her decision to leave Noah. She finds a suitable replacement in the form of wealthy Lon and for Allie the decision to return to Noah is a difficult one as she is torn between her childhood love and her need to grow up and find her identity in life.

The reasons for Allie’s departure in 1944 mirror the restrictions of women in the 1940s, specifically the expectation that women of a certain background marry within their own social class. Her parents, suspicious of the poor writer Noah, intervened and Allie, in the end, was overly fearful that her love for the young man wouldn’t be able to weather the tribulations of life. Years later she acknowledges that a big part of her had believed that the two of them were simply too young to make good on their commitment to each other. Their reunion reveals that there are some ties that transcend mere rationality and logic, but when Allie left home all those years before, reality had gotten the better of her.

Allie was pushed away by the pressure of her family, the instability of Noah, and the turmoil of war. Her parents tried to keep her from Noah because he threatened her future. Noah’s wild ride of a life, of hanging from a ferris wheel for example, scared Allie even as it thrilled her. As the war dragged on Allie felt lonely and turned to Lon for comfort. She did not leave Noah maliciously. She really believed she was doing the right thing. Her later regrets are revealed through her notebook. She was young andmisjudged.
