> the world of HR standards in the west has already been through this calculus HR's calculus is dominated by considerations of risk to the business, something about which I care not one jot.

As for what fraction of such relationships are "happy marriages," I don't know. I do know that my parents met that way, as did several couples of my acquaintance.
