Becky, but isn't OW supposedly dying from some illness? I don't think H is planning a life with her, I think he wants to be her "knight in shining armor" and he isn't really thinking long term here. OW is really needy and he likes feeling like a hero, and this is all a big dramatic distraction and a huge ego boost. Not real love. Ego.
My two cents. He is in for a very big fall no matter what happens- if OW gets really sick, well, that's no fun. If she dies, then he is all alone, and if she miraculously gets better, well, then he is stuck with someone who is no longer in need of a rescuer.
I hope you have the best of times with your sisters!
