>>Do you really, honestly think the author will be happy - and for long I don't give that good odds for their happiness. But as good odds as I give my self. It is 9 months in, the author and the woman are incredibly in love. Many people never get that, at all. Ever. I had it and lost it. So I disagree with your dissenting opinion. It is worth trying. The hard part is to leave failed relationships before getting so much scars that you will be emotionally dysfunctional after the mourning phase. If their relationship fails, I hope they get out ok.
