Why that’s certainly an idea! And as for why he would not have married you, well first you don’t live in Middle Earth and then of course I would have married him (except that I don’t live there either and I don’t think much of living near Sauron). Hrhm. Seems that unholy diabolical thoughts are invading us out of nowhere. Anyway.

I hope “someone” gives us a story out of this, but of course I’m absolutely not pointing at anyone in particular, least of all you.

He would have married me, of course Er, never mind, that was just, like, a stray thought. Totally no idea where it came from, not like I had ever imagined…

Anyway… I find this very interesting and relevant. Frankly, it has always irked me he had not married till he was 37, and I had come up with quite a few fancy reasons as to why. Of course, Boromir who was even older had not married at all, but then Boromir wasn’t much into women (that’s not a flight of my imagination, see the Appendices :)))) – but Faramir was different, apparently. So, why…?

It totally breaks my heart to think that if he had not met someone so extraordinary and unusual like Eowyn, he would have stayed single for the rest of his life! So maybe there was someone, long before her… But they couldn’t be together, because… because she was married to someone else! It would have been an arranged marriage, of course, and she would love Faramir, not her elderly abusive husband… But then the old geezer would die in the War, and then…

Just thinking aloud, you know :) In any case, I really like this idea, and would love to see it explored!
