WAG.... Murphy has moved on

I assume from your name you are a female, what about Harry makes you think he would be a terrible partner? Aside from the potential of putting his love interests in danger, since that would obviously scare a lot of real people away, but in the books it would not be something that Murphy would see as a negative.

Aesthetics and such aside, his life is a mess. He’s not even his own man anymore. What sort of relationship can people even have like that? One of settling and convenience, really. But as a real partner, Dresden isn’t able to offer much. In terms of just having some comfort or whatnot, he’d do for something casual if you were into his look and lifestyle. Then again, any nice looking guy who didn’t have expectations would be better for something casual as Dresden does have expectations while being completely unsuited to what he wants. In the future, if he survives and his life is his own again and no longer a shitshow, he might be a better candidate. Right now, though, his life is a disaster.
And, I’m not into “shipping” discussions, either. I don’t care who Dresden sleeps with. Was just commenting that this relationship seems doomed from a story point of view if it is realistic. Also, the name means “bliss” in sanskrit and so is just a word I like the look and sound of. It was the name of the buddha’s male relative, but can also be a female name. I am a woman, though, so that assumption was right. :P

And they are both older.
Family, children, stable life? they are all out of the picture but what they have is shared history and a very good understanding of each other. They are both older and there are a lot of things they can not share with anyone else. There are a lot of things they can not share with or explain to anyone else.
They can be each others emotional support. It can work out.

They have changed and they are older, their lives have been turned upside down.. Yes, I agree that they love each other on many levels, but is that enough? Reading the give and take between them the last couple of books says to me that they do not understand one another. In my opinion Murphy wants the old Harry back, this is how she talks to him, this is what she bases her advice to him.. He is never coming back.. I also think that Harry has blinded himself to a lot that has happened to Murphy as well.

It should be ok as long as nobody quotes false evidence. But actually Murphy and Harry understand each other quite well and sometimes better than they understand themselves.
I don't have to fabricate evidence for this. I have divine inspiration. MSTR told me.
But don't take my word for it. Read the whole series again and watch Mister and Mouse. They are in favor of this relationship. That should tell you enough.
