Any time deep emotions are involved, you can be sure the problem is way more complicated than it appears to onlookers. Throw in a couple of kids and well you've got some major plot twists. Personally, I've always felt that if I were in this situation I would find some excuse to legally blow the hot head into his next life form (which believers in reincarnation and Karma might agree would deservedly be something involving 6 or 8 legs). BUT, thank God I've never had to be tested on that because, what it really boils down to is - you don't know until you have to live it.
