OF course its her decision in the end and she'll have to live with it...but what are friends for if they can't be honest with you about how they feel? Its a time to let it go...but I applaud Miranda for being the sensible one. She is giving up EVERYTHING for him and he's offering her some fantasy in Paris. SHe knows no one over there...and its not like she will be able to start a family because HE can't/won't...Again, that is quite a bit to give up for a man.. Relationships are about compromise and he didn't meet her half way on anything...it was like you either come with me or there is no us... I see that as being controlling and not a good basis for a relationship...definitely not a person i'd move thousands of miles away with...and I'd be less than a friend to make my friend think about that aspect of it.
However I guess if you're over 35, you take the first thing that comes along for fear of being alone.
