She married the man she wrote about, and readers assumed they would live happily ever after. But nine years into her marriage, Gilbert discovered her longtime best friend Rayya Elias had terminal cancer.

No woman should tolerate dating a man under the premise of “well, I can’t have the woman I really want, so I will settle for having you. You’ll suffice.” Or the “I love you, too” is emotional polygamy. Does it mean he has to hate or forget his deceased former spouse? No, he can hold her memory in kind regard.
