When push comes to shove and reality intrudes, making us all glad we do not have to read gushy references to bad literature, the safe little cocoon in which this perfect love existed disappeared, and they are just another cliche, just another powerful and entitled middle-aged man who thinks he deserves better.

We all think our love is more special and better than anyone else's, esp. in the infatuation phase.

So maybe he will marry her. Maybe my H will marry his girl child. Fact of the matter is that nobody can live up to such fantastic expectations forever.

I don't think reality has hit my H hard enough yet. The girl child seems to have done a pretty good manipulative job so far. Her self-centeredness will come out eventually. I think it has, somewhat, but not enough, evidently.
