[the_faery_queen]

kettricken lost verity when she was pregnant, just as molly left fitz when she was, and kettricken didn't remarry, even with all her hormones. ok she was in a different situation, she was queen, she probably didn't think that she could. but even when dutiful was older she was still single. and patience didn't remarry either. so yeah, molly just not as in love, i think. maybe she was just more needy, in the end. maybe that's why she went back to fitz? because she didn't want to be on her own, with all the kids. so it's not just love, but a level of need.

and yeah, the fool sarcrificed far more. he gave up his home, his life, to be with fitz (well teh catylst originally i guess) and he left, at the end, knowing it was for the best, despite how he felt abotu it. i don't see that same level of sacrifice in molly. what she did was a betryal, to some extent. going off with fitz's dad, to all intensive purposes. the man who had raised him. she went with the first person who was nearby, really. the first one who could look after her. just as she went with fitz, the first person who really showed an interset in her. think after her life, of being abused and having to work hard for her dad, she needed someone to take care of her and i think that drove her motives.
