If you're happy, I'm happy.

If you take my advice and it works out, great! If you don't take my advice and it works out, great!

We recently heard from "Is He Crazy About Her? Or Just Crazy?" Let's call him "Chaz."

He's been divorced for a year and a half, after a long marriage. He recently met "a remarkable woman — bright, funny and absolutely gorgeous." When he wrote, they'd been out on three or four dates.

He said: "This relationship is no more than two weeks old, but I'm nuts about her. She's everything I'm looking for in a companion and a partner. I know it's incredibly early in our relationship, but I haven't felt like this in years."

He asked me: "Am I crazy about her or am I just crazy about spending time with a woman again? Is she the woman of my dreams, or am I just dreaming?"

I wondered what the difference was and why it mattered. I told Chaz to enjoy the relationship and not do anything foolish, like tell her he love hers and wants to be with her forever.

Chaz wrote back to say that's exactly what he did.

He said: "Too late girlfriend. It is absolute real love. Forgive me for not following your advice, but the only foolish thing would have been for me not to declare my true feelings and accept her true feelings for me. Sure, I know we're so very early in our relationship, but we're both adults, around 50-years-old, not getting any younger and cannot imagine not being together. We've both dated other people.

"We feel the same way about each other and can look deep into each other's eyes and profess our love. Does it sound silly to say that after a few short weeks of a relationship? Perhaps, but who gives a hoot? When I look at her and spend time with her, I know what's in my heart. And I know she feels the same.

"She makes me feel so alive and vibrant. My divorce shattered my life, taking me to depths I've never known. But I worked very hard and rebuilt my life to a good place before I met her. Now I've reached a level that puts me on top of the clouds with a perpetual smile on my face and a feeling of happiness and contentment that I haven't felt in years.

"She's one of the most remarkable women I've ever known. She's so genuine and caring. She's real. She's intelligent. We have the most interesting conversations about anything and everything. And did I mention that she's beautiful?

"We talk all the time and see each other every chance we get. Both of us have jobs and children and busy lives, so we long for each other more than we get to hug each other.

"I firmly believe in the sanctity of marriage. I want to be married again someday, and there's no doubt that she's the woman I can see being with for the rest of my life. I'm fortunate to have found her and I'm not going to let her go. Finally, if I don't mind saying, we make a pretty nice looking couple.

"So forgive me for not following your advice."

You are forgiven! I love a happy ending.
