I'm sure he's a good man and will be fine. It's his daughter that I'm worried about right now.
Exactly what I was going to say. If there were no children involved...Fish would be fine. He'll find himself heartbroken, but he'll be able to heal.
His daughter, is another story. Fish is going to need a healthy relationship with his ex-wife for A LONG TIME still. Dating her friend ain't doing it. He needs to concentrate on his little girl.
Take it from a woman whose daddy was a WAS. She's gonna hate you for giving up. Right or wrong, in her little world, you've given up, and you chose to be out of HER house, dating someone else than IN HER house, loving her mom. May not make much sense to a grown up, but that's how little girls see things.
