This lady sounds extremely immature.

What's the point of cake if you can't eat it????

The thing I value most about Prudie's advice is that it is clear, concise and sensible. She also does a fabulous job of keeping her personal feelings and opinions out of it. And when she does interject her personal opinion, she plainly states it as such.

This is very sound advice and all things considered, the only fair and sensible action. Should the woman try to just ignore her feelings and move forward, that sets them both up for failure down the road when the inevitable disagreements arise.

I agree... what advice is this??

I think it got to such a situation because they don't talk as much about each other's feelings and expectations. I'm just guessing though. Young&Restless should find the answer herself though.. looking at both good and bad points of her final decision.
