In good times and in bad is one of the biggest lies ever told.


Not to hijack - but i believe if one successfully DBs, even if they end up D, they are holding up their end of the bargain, "for better or worse".

This is the "for worse" part. How you choose to move forward dictates whether you hold up your end of the deal. If the best thing you can do for your S is to let them go be happy, then that's how you can support them.

My 2 cents.
