Well one of them have children (1 own rest adopted) while the other is a teacher so perhaps yeh I'll keep them single for a while probably the teach I think should remain single throughout
It's because I feel like a sadist writer who wrote a tragic past for both and the present too has its own hurdles lol ..... perhaps yeh i could add the companionship element you are right @Ophious .....
If I choose to pair with other characters then will only pair one main up with another character and keep the other main single (who has already lost two partners that is "been married twice")
