I agree with the sentiments and your interpretation.
However if you can really face the truth kempo you will know that your arguments are not isolated spontaneous creations . Mr K has had a lot to put up with and has been on the verge fir some time. She may well realise she can't go on without you but I would respectfully suggest Steve won't be persuaded to return by what the neighbours might think and Tony will have lots of suitors. Not that I'm suggesting your not quite a catch.
