Search Results: waiting for someone

In certain old love stories involving a brief long-distance situation, the man usually had to depart for business purpose, a war or whatever reason. Meanwhile the woman was waiting for his return.

Assuming both are safe, these things could've happened:

- The woman is faithfully waiting but he took off elsewhere, never returned. He failed his promise to return.

- The man returned, only to find she's doesn't live there anymore and is elsewhere with someone else. She failed her promise to wait.

- Both of them were loyal to their promises. She waited for his return and he came back.

If both parties were loyal, do you think go more lucky? The one waiting for the partner's return or the one returning and finding out they're still there.
