It's common when you're young to see a few different people until you stumble upon 'Mr/Mrs Right'. Also, as Sean is handsome and without children - I can't see him having any difficulties finding someone new.
A marriage is a real commitment and entails promises like spending your life together. I think the rupture of that sort of partnership is much more devastating.”
I thought they lived together? Is that wrong?
if so, it does indicate a significant commitment (or it did in my day

).
Also, BIB, not getting at you at all Nina, but I do wish people wouldn't say things like that. I was friends with a handsome lad who had his heart broken and it changed him immensely relationship-wise for a very long time. Obviously haven't a clue, but if we're not generalising than that shouldn't be generalised over either. If he had - or still has - feelings then it might take him a bit longer to bounce back, however handsome he is. Just because she has seemingly fallen out of love with him, doesn't mean he has with her. Anybody who has ever had to be on hand for general mopping up and putting back together duties knows these situations are generally complicated, always messy and involve far more than can be condensed into I did/they did tabloid article.
