YOU got too lonely?!?!?

War is hard. For everyone. And wasn't it exquisite that she fell in love with an Airforce Captain?

Besides, Fantard, it has to do with standards. A woman shouldn't be a with a man she wasn't willing to wait for, or with a man who she didn't have total faith would be able to fulfill her desires. Vice versa, nor should a man.

A woman must first know herself before she understands her desires, or commits herself to a situation she didn't initially grasp and can't live up to. Not everyone is smart enough to avoid situations that they won't perform well in, such as a relationship where the dynamic is another person's life/heart/mind.

In the same token, a man should know himself before he commits, and he should be smart enough to judge whether or not this woman has the strength of character to be true. Both parties are subject in these relationship situations, and it's best to understand that, rather than let our emotions/beliefs/past experiences get in the way.

I recall reading after the war a church leader said married couples should start over and forget any transgressions stemming from wartime. Applied both to overseas folk and the homefront.
