Unlike what Jack said, I'm not too much worried about the "salacious" ascpects of this, but I am curious if both you and Amazon just up and quit your previous relationships to focus mainly on the trail.  That's how it comes across, but it doesn't quite ring true. 

I'm guessing it's more like the relationships came apart by themselves and the trail then came to the forefront as a decent diversion.  If I didn't have kids to worry about, I might well have taken that approach following my own breakup...
