Angry Brandybuck, the tale of me and my wives is a very long story. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What happened to Finwe was a very rare thing. Yes, he had been deeply in love with Miriel, and after her death, he was never the same again, but he somehow found comfort in Indis. I don't know if I would call it love, per se, on his part, but I think that he found comfort in her. Indis, on the other hand, probably loved him for a long time, but the relationship was probably slightly one-sided. Finding comfort in someone is not the same thing as being in love with them, although the two seem rather similar.
