Ooh, tricky. I don't know.

Positive idea:

The pull of the OW is gigantic. Yet through that he still wants you. He tries to keep both.

Maybe that's not positive. You were just saying you didn't like how weak he was in being indecisive!

Negative idea:

He's so in control of himself, he is treating you respectfully out of human decency.

NOT! Okay, I was going to try to write something that could be 'bad' but it's just so implausible, it doesn't work!

So maybe it's the first idea. It could be seen as good or bad, I guess.

I could be way off. What do you think if it is that, though?
