relationship or leave it Each knew they were in control and could leave at anytime but made the choice to stay.
Gary and Sheri also knew outright that they could never live together long term in close quarters but needed to be intimate and involved in each others lives on a regular, day to day basis. Each had their own separate place for space yet lived equally together between the two. It was more knowing that they had the freedom to go somewhere else if they needed to rather than their actual practice. They would drive each other insane if they had it any other way
Sex for the couple was great and frequent but it was not the focus. Their friendship/relationship was far more important.
There was nothing special about the day he sent the e-mail to Janice because he pretty much expected her to not respond to it. He heard through a mutual friend a few years ago which college she was teaching at and knew that she was married. He looked up her name and e-mail address on the college website and sent a short note saying that he was sorry about breaking things off the way he did and that he really missed her.
Conclusion
None of these people are right or wrong for what they are doing in their relationship. Its all about the timeless battle between the choices people make and their Fate.
