Depending on which bit he broke, I can say with medical confindence that it will take at least 2 years to return to as close to normal as it will ever get. I do hope your heart is much mended by then. Unless he's unlucky and gets regional pain syndrome afterwards, in which case he's stuck with it for life.
Weird how they completely change their plans isn't it. My WAW was totally obsessed with having children well before we even met, but now says she isn't interested anymore. Always wanted a cute farmhouse with a bit of land, dogs running around the kids playing football, some sheep and chickens and a nice big veggie patch. The FIL was even trying to buy us one just a year ago. Now she's dating an image obsessed pretentious twonk, who wouldn't even walk up our drive when it was being repaved and covered in sand in case it messed up her shoes, hates children, thinks football is just "too common," hates pets, only drinks champagne, and lives in a pristine white furnished apartment in the nicest city centre area.
He's racking up the chances of depression, and significant illness from stress.
Regarding his marriage - I dearly wish we hadn't done it given events 6 months later. I expect he'll feel the same in some months time. Will they be wasting a large amount of money? Don't forget that magic <1% long term success rate for relationships borne of lying, cheating, disrespect etc.
And on a lighter note.....
Hope you're ready with those jobs for today - don't you know that one of the uses for one's towel is as a whip

Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
