To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive

If I were here, and I agreed to a second engagement that didn't result ina wedding, I would probably swear off men altogehter and hole myself up in a lab, never to be seen again. But that's just me. Still, I hope it doesn't happen. I just don't see her accepting it in the first place, though; I've said this before somewhere, but being in such a serious relationship with Pete would mean that, even though he does know about the SGC, she'd have to compartmentalize her life to a level I just can't see her doing. I envision serious marriage problems after she pulls a few all-week all-nighters in her lab, or gets stuck off-world, or something, because dude, Pete? Police officer. He wouldn't be happy about the off-world thing at all, unless I totally read him wrong in "Chimera." And I think Sam is smart enough to realize all of that, so I think she would tell him that it won't work. (Also, we've had one episode with Pete, and, like, two other references to him. From a plot sense, it seems awkward to make it that deep of a relationship after seeing so little of him, at least it does to me.)

But I'm with you on the tantrums if she does accept.
