path of least resistence....too much water under the bridge....
who knows.
it's almost like he's standing there, at the altar, looking at his new bride to be, and is getting cold feet.........with all these people here...money already spent....families all dolled up...........and he's gonna turn around NOW and say "yeah, about that......i'm out, sorry"
not saying what he should or shouldn't do, but being the one that's in the position, this close to the day it was all supposed to come to fruition....i'd imagine it's a lot to process, and the thought having to make this decision.........all over again on a much shorter time line....probably not ideal.
so, under those circumstances, yeah, could be easier to just stay the course....................i can see that.
but i repeat...that's not a judgement on what he should/shouldn't do...............just explaining how it could be 'easier' to do nothing.
