Frankenkitty, I hope so too.
I emailed him but said not to reply until life is less hectic.

I hope your friend comes home.
I don't think I could handle being the wife of a war correspondent. Look at how I handle problems at the car dealership. Take care Azur

You are obviously feeling more positive in this retrospective post. For our sakes, Azur, keep on improving.

Blanche, no need to apologize
I don't stay in close touch precisely because it may be miscontrued and sometimes it is hard for a partner to understand shared professional passions,

Azur, I apologize, I think I was a little harsh there,
perhaps remembering a situation of my own, many years past. Yes, the shared bond of work is a good one, can create intense friendships.

It is not a distraction in any romantic sense. Never was since I sent him off. It is a deep and abiding interest in the work and issues surrounding that.

Well, we are talking about her husband, Azur, I think jealousy is only
natural, in the most primal sense. I'm not sure that I want to be "mature' enough to allow Gideon to have distractions, even if he wanted to, but then I don't know the whole story. My college years had a drama of their own, maybe similar, maybe different.
I think if I did know more about sports, the human angle, I'd see the beauty in them, as analogies and metaphors for life, in general. Other games, not so much. I hope you're doing well.

Blanche, I do not worry about him because I know he is wise and careful
but I hope against the unexpected. In regards to cutting him free, I did not have a broken heart. It took a few years for his wife to understand that I have the greatest respect for her husband and he for me. It was funny because she was very jealous of me initially. Years later she wrote to me and apologized and said that "we were all" grown up now. I could have replied that some of us were grown up before that but I left it and thanked her.
The beautiful game (and other games) are metaphors for live.

Azur,
Sorry, but I had logged off when you wrote this last night. I hope your friend stays well and safe, though you must be worried. At least, this I understand rather than mountain climbing or BASE jumping, there's a purpose to the risk other than thrill seeking. Heart wrenching, those relationships that force us to make the choice between each other's happiness and continuing the relationship.
Sports has never been my thing, but maybe if I looked at it as a story, or the story behind the sports, it would be more interesting to me. A boot and a round ball? I wonder what sport that is? Stories like the one about your friend and the train ticket always leave me feeling more hopeful about people in general.
As for reading, I am determined to do more in-depth reading, regardless of distractions.
