At least he will be able to be himself again. There's nothing worse than being told what to do, unless you are blowing up a building, killing your Mother, or anything destructive. Heather probably isn't a ''bad'' person, but being with someone that is going to say, 'You've had 2 drinks, don't you think you should tone it down' or the fact that he likes to smoke a little ganj', he's better off without her, and not because of things that might be a little detrimental to his health. He doesn't smoke 5 packs a day or shoot up heroin. He's a big boy, I would do the same thing.--Honey, I love you, but I've got to live my life and you have to live yours." He's a grieving person. When my wife died, I fell into the arms of alot of women that I thought were friends and lovers and genuine. I wouldn't accept sympathy because that wasn't what I was after, just someone that "fit". You look and try too hard and end up emptier than when you started. I reckon that's what Paul did. I wish him happiness and everyone else in his position and that he takes his time, and if he ends up alone, at least he got to love just once, which is more than most of us can say. Sorry for being Harlequinesque.
