Treese, I used to say the same thing yr said, about him being old and lonely in the end. And I think it is very possible. But, it might not be, too.
What I've realized is that it doesn't matter! What matters is what happens for you! Don't tie your happiness to what happens with him. It may be that the better thing for everyone is that in the end he is happy. It could be better for the kids that way. Anyway, the my point is that your happiness isn't connected to his, and it's a waste of energy to be confused about his!
